Easy Beef Burgundy

Easy Beef Burgundy

Based roughly on Julia Child’s famous French-inspired beef bourguignon, this simple beef burgundy recipe is easy to make and tastes amazing.

Easy Beef Burgundy

When I made Julia Child’s beef burgundy (a.k.a. beef bourguignon, but easier to spell…and say), it was love at first bite, especially for my husband who loves mushrooms. However, what we discovered as we enjoyed it was the liquid in the stew was a little overpowering (like too tangy for our tastes) and the pearl onions, while my hubby didn’t mind as much, I thought were kinda gross. Not to mention I am unable to acquire fresh pearl sized onions in my area, so I had to use canned ones (essentially cocktail onions) which I’m pretty sure probably detracted from the overall flavor of the stew.

As a result, I set to work to create a low carb, keto, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly version of beef burgundy that we liked better. And since I’m a food blogger and my goal is to translate and share our family favorites, here is that recipe for all of you to enjoy!

This recipe is very similar to the Julia Child original. But, with a few tweaks. We do not consume alcoholic alcohol in our home, so I used alcohol-free cooking wine, and a bit less than I would have normally because too much is, well, too much. I also omitted the pearl onions in favor of sauteed regular yellow onion.

Serving Ideas

This beef burgundy stew is super yummy just by itself. It has a great blend of protein and veggies, making a side pretty much unnecessary. It’s a great one pot wonder!

However, if you want a side with it, a good choice would be some kind of THM or keto friendly bread. You could add more veggies as a side if you like, too, but I personally find that overkill for one meal. Not to mention, it’s easier not to.
