The movie Julie & Julia made me think of this recipe…
Julia Child made this recipe famous and she called it “certainly one of the most delicious beef dishes concocted by man“. Today you can still buy her book “Mastering the art of French Cooking” to get the original recipe.
Strangely enough, according to Wikipedia the dish was first documented in the 19th century and similar recipes was named “à la Bourguignonne” (made with leg of lamb or rabbit). Therefor it is not a very old recipe according to the people in the know, but it is delicious and the perfect recipe for the winter.
For a Provencal twist or let’s say ‘a fresh taste to an old favorite’, add a bit of lemon zest.
Serve with rice or potatoes.
