    Whether you’re looking for an easy side dish or something more impressive to serve at a dinner party, there are plenty of delicious options to choose from. In this blog post, we will discuss what to serve with beef bourguignon that is sure to leave your guests raving about your culinary skills!

    What is beef bourguignon?

    Beef Bourguignon is a traditional French dish made of beef slowly simmered in red wine and herbs. This comforting stew is usually served with potatoes or noodles and can be prepared either on the stovetop, in a slow cooker, or in a pressure cooker. The sauce for this dish is rich and flavorful thanks to the combination of red wine, herbs, mushrooms, and tomato paste.

    How do you typically make beef bourguignon?

    Beef Bourguignon is typically made by searing beef cubes and then braising them in a combination of red wine, beef broth, tomato paste, and herbs. You can also add mushrooms, onions, garlic, and even carrots to the stew for extra flavor and texture. Once the beef is tender and falling apart, it’s time to serve your dish.

    What should you serve with Beef Bourguignon?

    Beef Bourguignon is usually served with either mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, or egg noodles. If you’re looking for something a little more exciting to pair it with, try serving the stew over creamy polenta or risotto instead.

    For vegetables, roasted carrots or parsnips are a delicious complement to the flavor of Beef Bourguignon. While these root vegetables can be cooked in the same pot as the stew, you can also roast them separately for extra crunch and sweetness.

    A green salad with vinaigrette is also a great way to brighten up the meal without overpowering the flavor of the beef. If you’re looking for something more decadent, try adding a side of sautéed mushrooms or cheesy gratin potatoes. And don’t forget to serve a loaf of crusty French bread on the side - it pairs perfectly with the stew and will help soak up all of the delicious sauce!
