Ingredients
Instructions
- Place beef cubes, sliced onion, burgundy wine, and beef consomme in a 2 1/2-quart casserole.
- Mix flour and bread crumbs together; add to casserole. Stir all ingredients until completely blended. Cover.
- Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender, stirring once every hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the beef cubes in the burgundy wine for a few hours before cooking. You can substitute beef consomme with homemade beef broth or stock if desired. If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the flour amount slightly. Adding mushrooms or carrots can enhance the dish, similar to other hearty beef recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Beef Burgundy over the cooked egg noodles for a comforting meal. A side of crusty bread is perfect for soaking up the rich sauce. Pair with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced dinner. This dish can be complemented with a glass of burgundy wine for an elegant touch.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the casserole in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw if frozen, then warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through, about 20-30 minutes.
