I first discovered this dish while watching one of my favorite shows, the classic British Romantic Comedy "As Time Goes By" starring Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer. Judi's character Jean makes this dish on the first night Geoffrey's character Lionel moves in with her. After laughing at the hilarity of the episode, I decided to research the recipe further. I was led to learn that it is in Julia Child's first book Mastering the Art of French Cooking. It is just a fancy name for Beef and Onions Brasied in Beer. You brown the beef in a dutch oven or flameproof casserole. You then brown the onions. Then you add beef stock, beer, and flavorings. You then bake it in an oven. After it has cooked, you strain out the sauce and thicken it. After making Beef Borguignon a couple of times at my school, I wanted to try something else. My friends loved it. As a side dish I would suggest some roasted potatoes or some kind of starch. Bon Appetit!
