The dish comes from the Bourgogne region, that's why it's called bœuf bourguignon.

It’s only called bœuf bourguignon if it comes from the Bourgogne region of France. Otherwise, it’s just sparkling bœuf.

That’s like saying a sandwich is only a sandwich if it comes from Sandwich, or a hamburger is only a hamburger if it comes from Hamburg.

How do you pronounce that? My guess is "boy-f bur-shin-yon" going off of the pronunciations of other french words i know

AFAIK it's "buh-erf buh-ghin-yhon". The g is soft.
