The beef bourguignon is a traditional Burgundian cuisine recipe cooked in red wine from Burgundy with mushrooms, onions and bacon. The variations are multiple and can include for example potatoes, carrots, green beans, or pasta. It was initially a favourite dish of the peasants on feast days before becoming a traditional French Sunday dish. This dish is best served with mashed potatoes and green beans or a loaf of French bread and paired with red wine from Burgundy.
