Description
A delightful twist on the classic French dish, this Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon features tender beef in a rich red wine sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into cubes
- 1 bottle (750ml) red wine (like Burgundy or Pinot Noir)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Brown the beef cubes on all sides, then transfer to the slow cooker.
- Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Include the sliced carrots and mushrooms, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Transfer the sautéed vegetable mixture to the slow cooker. Pour in the red wine and beef broth, then stir in the tomato paste, dried thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the beef is tender. Before serving, remove the bay leaves and garnish with fresh parsley.
