Beef Bourguignon Recipe

Everyone's heard of beef bourguignon or burgundy beef stew, but did you know that it is very simple to make? Stew beef is slowly simmered in red wine and sauteed mushrooms are added later on in the cooking. The meat in this becomes more and more tender as you cook it, so allow plenty of time for it to cook before you serve. Your whole house will fill with a divine smell, enticing everyone to the table.
