Marion’s Beef Bourguignon Recipe
This recipe was a favorite of a dear friend and past co-worker, Marion Sayers-Shulman. We worked together as recruiters in Silicon Valley for many years. Marion was a mentor and such a woman to admire. She was the number one recruiter in the nation several times and was a wonderful wife, mother, friend and more. She led her life with style and grace, and she will be missed. During her Zoom Celebration of Life, several of her friends and family mentioned her delicious Beef Bourguignon. I thought it was a perfect recipe to share with our 2020 Millerick Road Meritage. A great way to impress guests with good wine and food.
Thank you to her family for sharing the recipe with me, so we could share with you.
Cheers! ~Becky
