This is my first winter in New York and it has been a tough adjustment from the mild winters in Texas. I find beef stew (aka beouf bourguignon if you want to get fancy) the most comforting dish, not only to eat, but to make. The aroma that will fills your house as you brown the bacon with the aromatics, then slowly braise the meat in the oven is heavenly. I didn't really follow much of a recipe and added my favorite herbs and vegetables. It almost makes me forget that it is 10 degrees outside. I decided to serve the stew over creamy cheesy polenta, which were just as good as cheese grits I get back home. I will be making this dish again soon.
