Beef Bourguignon

Diet Type Meal Type | | |

Chef Kris Gaudet

Chef’s Tips:

  • Add plenty of aromatics, such as Thyme and Rosemary, to boost the flavours of this classical French stew.
  • Deglazing means to remove and dissolve browned food residue from a pan to flavor sauces, soups, and gravies. By adding a liquid to a hot pan, all of the food residue will lift up, giving your dish added flavour.
  • Red wine can be added instead of the water for extra flavour. The alcohol will cook, therefore the flavour is the only thing that remains.
  • When adding the thyme, wait ten minutes or so, and you can pick out the stems and the leaves will remain in the stew.
