bourguignon

Wine-braised French method

Bourguignon is a French culinary term meaning "in the style of Burgundy," the wine-producing region of eastern France.

It describes dishes cooked in red wine with mushrooms, onions, and often bacon.

The term appears almost exclusively in boeuf bourguignon or beef bourguignon, a slow-braised beef stew that has become a classic of French cuisine: She spent all day making bourguignon for the dinner party.
