Most recipes for boeuf bourguignon, served at classy French restaurants, call for a good cut of beef, rump or filet.
We've become disappointed with the quality of stewing beef in our casseroles. Recently, I've been using Aberdeen Angus Rump to make my own version of beef and dumpling casserole. The difference the beef makes to the taste and texture of the dish is well worth the extra cost.
