Burgundy Tradition Meets BC Beef
If patience had a flavour, it would be Boeuf Bourguignon—peasant roots elevated by Pinot Noir and time. Chef Hervé channels his French upbringing while showcasing local beef.
The Six-Hour Braise
Beef cubes sear chestnut-brown, leaving a caramel fond. Pinot deglazes, releasing aromas of black cherry and wet forest. Pearl onions, carrot, and smoky lardons join, then the pot nestles into a low oven for six unhurried hours until collagen turns to velvet.
Finishing Touches & Serving
Separately sautéed cremini mushrooms keep their woodland bite before they’re folded into the glossy mahogany sauce. The stew pools over silk-smooth Yukon Golds, parsley lending a pop of colour.
Wine Pairings & Comfort
Match decadence with a BC Merlot or opt for a Burgundy red to mirror the wine in the pot. Add crusty baguette to chase the last drop.
