Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef — Choose a high-quality cut of beef, such as filet mignon or ribeye, to ensure tender and flavorful results.
- Red wine — Opt for a full-bodied red wine, such as Burgundy or Pinot Noir, to enhance the depth of flavors in the dish.
- Mushrooms — Use a mix of wild mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster, for a more complex and earthy taste.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra touch of luxury, garnish the dish with truffle shavings or truffle oil.
- Serve the Beef Bourguignon with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or buttered noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the dish during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- This dish tastes even better when prepared a day in advance, as the flavors have more time to meld together.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
Serving advice
Serve the Haute Beef Bourguignon in individual shallow bowls or on warmed plates. Accompany it with a generous portion of creamy mashed potatoes or buttered noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Presentation advice
To elevate the presentation of this dish, carefully arrange the beef cubes and mushrooms on the plate, drizzle the sauce around them, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Consider using a decorative plate or adding a touch of edible gold leaf for a truly luxurious presentation.
