Beef Bourguignon (or Beef Burgandy) is a simple stew that is cooked with wine.
I tried this recipe (based on Gordon Ramsay's) because I had found some pretty cheap beef which would require a long cooking time in order to become tender. I changed a few of the ingredients to more accessible ones (I have no idea where to find Goose Fat in Tokyo). Because this dish uses bacon while cooking, it helps keep the beef from drying out and the end results are extremely tender and juicy.
The recipe follows after the jump...
