Beef Bourguignon is a classic French dish made of cubes of beef cooked in wine. The recipe is very rich and should be served over hot cooked egg noodles. any cut of beef will work well in this recipe,, but DON'T use the cubed beef sold as stew meat. Try sirloin or bottom round and cut it into cubes yourself.
