HALF MOON BAY WINE RECIPES

Julia Child introduced this traditional French beef stew to the American masses in 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking', and describes this dish as “one of the most delicious beef dishes concocted by man.” The name of this recipe denotes its origins — the Burgundy region of France (Bourgogne in French), which of course, is also the home of some of the best full-bodied red wines in the world. Traditional boeuf a la Bourguignonne is braised slowly in that wine, which not only imparts wonderful flavor, but also helps to tenderize the meat, which is stew meat, so typically a tougher and less expensive cut. Beef Bourguignon takes time and some TLC — there is browning, and reducing, and sauce making involved — but each of those steps just adds another layer of deliciousness. Using the sous vide method for this dish allows the meat to really absorb the wine sauce and all those incredible aromatics. It also allows you to cook that bad boy for 16 hours+ at the perfect temp. The result is rich and developed flavor, vegetables that have retained their integrity instead of melting away to mush, and a cheap cut of meat that has been transformed into some tender beef lovin’.
