Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon Recipe
Last week, Jess attempted one of Julia Child’s signature dishes: boeuf bourguignon. In case you’d like to follow in her footsteps, we are a sharing a PDF of the recipe from Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
Click on the thumbnail for the complete recipe.
Edit: A reader pointed out that the above bourguignon recipe relies on auxiliary recipes for sautéed mushrooms and brown-braised onions. You may download PDFs of these recipes below.
Another edit: A reader asked for the “list of cuts” to which the boeuf bourguignon recipe refers. Here is the text from “CUTS FOR STEWING”:
The better the meat, the better the stew. While cheaper and coarser cuts may be used, the following are most recommended. Count on 1 pound of boneless meat, trimmed of fat, for 2 people; 3 if the rest of the menu is large.
First choice: Rump Pot Roast—Pointe de Culotte, or Aiguillette de Rumstek
Other choices: Chuck Pot Roast—Paleron, or Macreuse à Pot-au-feu
Sirloin Tip—Tranche Grasse
Top Round—Tende de Tranche
Bottom Round—Gîte à la Noix

Thanks Randall and Ed. Great tips.
If you really want the ultimate boeuf bourguignon, then add some fresh (or dried if that’s all you can find) morel mushrooms!
Note that the bourgignon recipe calls for 1 lb. sauteed mushrooms, which is TWO recipes of mushrooms (as the mushroom recipe itself is only for 1/2 lb. mushrooms).
Grocers here in the DC area are stocking fresh peeled pearl onions–yay! You still have to cut the cross in them, but it saves a lot of time. I didn’t know about the pancetta, and so I have successfully used salt pork instead to avoid the smoke and sugar of American bacon. Next time I’ll try the pancetta. A ready-made bouquet garni would be a nice timesaver, but I’d be worried about the freshness of it.
WR Stewart: If the pearls are already peeled, there should be no need to cut the cross in them! that step is only suggested by some to peel after blanching.
So: already peeled = no cross-cutting needed.
