Beef Bourguignon is dreamy and last meal worthy!

From teaisfun — Blog by

My wife Katherine made us Beef Bourguignon for dinner on New Year’s Day and it was one of the greatest dishes I have ever had. It was so good that it made me immediately think of that last meal question. Well, I would definitely choose this dish prepared by my wife as my last meal if I am so lucky to choose. She got the recipe out of “The New Basics Cookbook”. Now I think that the meat you use makes the dish. We bought a full on vacuum sealed tenderloin for Christmas Eve dinner so we had all the beautiful trimmings from that. We also used a nice bottle of Pinot Noir which seemed expensive at first, but produced the creamiest of sauces ever. It was served over egg noodles with a few slices of a fresh baguette on the side.

If you had to choose one last meal, what would it be?

That sounds delicious! What a good way to usher in the new year.

If I had to chose my last dinner, and I hope I don’t, today I would pick roasted Dungeness crab with cilantro and garlic and a baguette, garlicky salad with satsuma sections and hazelnuts, chocolate mousse, and white Burgundy. Tomorrow, maybe something else …

I’ve never tried roasting a Dungeness before, but I will give it a try on the next go around. The meal sounds really good.
