Beef Bourguignon
The weather has been cold and dreary lately; the perfect setting for a huge pot of Beef Bourguignon. I had a very nicely trimmed chuck roast, no need for a more expensive cut of meat here, as the stew will cook for a long period. I started the meal at around 3:30 in the afternoon and the smell of the Bourguignon throughout the house was unbelievable. We opened a good bottle of wine and warmed some crunchy bread; almost like being in Paris.
