:QUOTE [quotetype:plain, subtitle:Julia Child]
Certainly one of the most delicious beef dishes concocted by man, it is certainly also one of the most famous.


:NOTE.half
Use a properly tough cut. Beef shin or chuck, well marbled, cubed large. Lean cuts dry out over three hours and ruin the texture.

:NOTE.half
The wine matters less than you think. A solid mid range Pinot Noir or any Burgundy style red works. Never use a wine you would not drink.


:NOTE
Do not skip the browning. Sear the beef in dry batches, hot pan, room temperature meat. Crowded pans steam the cubes grey and the stew loses its backbone before it starts.
