We had Heather and Nick over last night and Dale made Julia Child's beef bourginoine recipe. We both made it for Christmas Eve a few years ago. Yesterday Dale included one of Julia's steps that we didn't do last time. He strained the broth through a colander into a sauce pan and then put the meat and other ingredients back in the Le Creuset pot. With the broth in the sauce pan, Dale skimmed off the fat. Then he added in back in with the meat in the pot. Less fatty and it tasted divine.
