SFC: Families Matter Blog – Beef Bourguignon Contest

Too busy to cook? Tired of fast-food, frozen pizza or that boxed macaroni?

What if I said you could have Beef Bourguignon instead?

It has five, 8oz. portions of prime tender meat, simmered for four hours in a full-bodied red wine sauce with carrots, mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic, shallots, basil and Dijon mustard. Paired with rice, pasta, potatoes, a simple salad, or just on its own, this classic French comfort dish is a restaurant meal on-scale with the finest Parisian dining in the comfort of your own home.

Sound yummy? You could be having this for dinner. The Beverly Hills Kitchen Beef Bourguignon is currently available on QVC for $45 throughout the month of October.

The Beverly Hills Kitchen was created Alex Hitz whose life-long passion for cooking and hosting elaborate parties for his famous friends, inspired him to start a chef-prepared food line that combines restaurant-quality cuisine with the ease and intimacy of at-home dining.

For those super busy families who love fine dining, but lack the time or skills to cook delicious, classic dinners such as beef bourguignon, The Beverly Hills Kitchen’s entrees are designed for convenience— frozen and ready in ten minutes.

This tasty temptation can be purchased online at the QVC, http://bit.ly/tUOdg

or visit The Beverly Hills Kitchen for the full press release at http://www.beverlyhillskitchen.com/
