Making the dijon stew today-house smells divine. Day of remembrance on this very sad 911 day.

Both of these recipes are some of my favorite beef stews.
I have sort of combined these recipes using the marinating technique for Augerge’s recipe and then doing the cognac and dijon recipe. I add mushrooms and orange to that recipe.

The Auberge recipe is spectacular....adding cognac and a bit of orange .......so French.
