9 Beef Bourguignon Recipes for When You're Feeling French

Here's a classic boeuf bourguignon recipe that's sure to impress. "I made this exactly as written and loved it," says recipe creator Love2Cook. "It's very hearty and gets even better a day or two later." 

It takes just a little over an hour to make this hearty stew in your trusty Instant Pot, so it's the perfect fancy (yet surprisingly easy) dinner to make on a busy weeknight. 

Chef John's take on the classic French dish calls for beef braised in Merlot wine instead of the traditional Burgundy. Serve over hearty pasta or mashed potatoes. 

Eggplant and mushrooms, braised in a hearty red wine, serve as nutritious stand-ins for meat in this vegetarian twist on beef Bourguignon. 

It couldn't be easier to make this creamy beef Burgundy in the oven with fewer than 10 convenient ingredients, like a can condensed cream of mushroom soup and a package of herb and lemon soup mix.

"This is a great comfort food for those cold winter days," according to recipe creator Jennifer, who recommends serving in pre-warmed soup bowls with salad and French bread.

This traditional beef bourguignon is a labor of love, but it's well worth the extra work. "This was hands down the single best dish to ever come out of my kitchen," raves reviewer Lisa Nichols.

Fried meatballs are cooked in a red wine- and beef broth-based stew with flavorful herbs and spices. "Even though the cook time is rather long, it is a fairly simple recipe to make and a favorite of mine," says recipe creator brendaapr68.

Beef Bourguignon is traditionally slow cooked, so why not just make it in your slow cooker? This is a recipe that is great to make ahead, as the stew tastes even better the next day.
