Beef Bourguignonne
Traditionally, the mushrooms in this classic French dish are gently sautéed in butter and added toward the end of cooking. Here, we caramelize the mushrooms and include them in the braising base for more depth of flavor. Be sure to use a good-quality wine for this dish. A good rule of thumb: if you wouldn’t drink it, don’t cook with it.
