Morphology
The phrase is compositional: 'beef' (meat) modified by 'bourguignonne' (prepared in the Burgundian manner with red wine and mushrooms), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to beef cooked in that Burgundian style. This follows a common noun+adjective culinary naming pattern, making the meaning directly derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Beef Bourguignonne comes from Burgundy, an area of France famous for red wine. The word Bourguignonne means 'from Burgundy', so the name shows the beef is cooked in Burgundy red wine — that's why it means beef stewed in red wine today.
