[[Beef]] bourguignon is a well-known, traditional French beef stew recipe. It is essentially a stew prepared with beef [[Braised|braised]] in a full bodied [[Red wine|red wine]] and [[Beef stock|beef stock]], generally flavoured with [[Garlic|garlic]], [[Onions|onions]], [[Carrots|carrots]], and a [[Bouquet garni|bouquet garni]], and garnished with pearl [[Onions|onions]] and [[Mushrooms|mushrooms]].

This is my interpretation of this wonderful dish.
