Recipe: Beef Bourguignon Recipe

Beef bourguignon recipe with a full-bodied wine, accompanied by pasta. Beef bourguignon must be cooked with red wine, however there are two methods: Beef Bourguignon with marinade in order to obtain a very tasty and very dark sauce Beef bourguignon without marinade, we use the wine after grilling the meat, the Bourguignon is more digestible. For my part, I admit that for my beef Bourguignon with marinade has so much character, that you will not remain insensitive to this thick and creamy sauce. This time we are in the fall.
