What Is Beef Burgundy?
Beef Burgundy—also known as Boeuf Bourguignon—originated in France’s Burgundy region, famous for its robust red wines. Traditionally, beef is braised slowly in red wine with aromatics like garlic, onions, and thyme until it becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender. Serving it over noodles adds a comforting twist that soaks up every drop of the flavorful sauce.

How to Make Beef Burgundy Over Noodles
1. Brown the Beef
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then brown it on all sides to develop rich flavor. Remove and set aside.
2. Build the Sauce
In the same pot, sauté onions and garlic until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook until lightly browned. Stir in tomato paste and cook briefly to deepen its flavor.
3. Simmer Until Tender
Return the beef to the pot. Pour in red wine and beef broth, then add thyme or bay leaf. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 1½–2 hours until the beef is tender and the sauce is thick and glossy.
4. Cook the Noodles
Prepare noodles according to package instructions. Drain and lightly butter if desired.
5. Serve
Spoon the rich beef burgundy over warm noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.
