Boeuf Bourguignon probably is one of the most known dishes from France.
I'ts also one of the first dishes my father showed me how to cook. I think I gave it my own twist over the years as slowly I must have changed some ingredients or slightly changed the order I do things.
That's one of the big benefits of this dish: it doesn't really matter what you do and in what order as long as you kind of stick to the main principle of the recipe you are okay.
Enjoy!
