Sunday Supper - Beef Burgundy

[kevin313]

Getting ready for a return trip to Paris in May, so we thought we'd make this classic French stew.

a wonderful dish...

one of our favorites...as one who's also made the "Julia" version from "The Way to Cook" a number of times, the one ingredient that makes a huge difference is the bacon, or "lardons" en Francais... we tried to leave it out once in a misguided attempt to make the dish a bit healthier ... don't do it! We like to use an inexpensive-ish Bordeaux in the dish, and drink a good one with it!

Roger - I agree! The bacon is a MUST!

We used a pinot noir in the stew and drank what was left...they don't put much in a wine bottle these days ;-)

And as always...You can be SURE....If its WESTINGHOUSE!!!
