Beef Bourguignon is a classic French dish that has found its way into the hearts and homes of many, including those of us here in the Midwest. This slow-cooked version brings the rich flavors of Burgundy wine and tender beef to your table with the ease of a slow cooker. It’s the kind of meal that fills the house with warmth and nostalgia, reminiscent of Sunday dinners with family gathered around. The addition of potatoes makes it a complete, hearty meal perfect for chilly evenings.
This dish pairs beautifully with a side of crusty bread to soak up the savory sauce. A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette can add a refreshing contrast to the richness of the beef bourguignon. For a touch of brightness, consider serving with steamed green beans or peas. A glass of the same red wine used in the dish can also complement the flavors wonderfully.
