Hearty Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon

Thanks for joining me today along with 10 other bloggers as we share some of our favourite slow cooker recipes! Fall is my favourite season and I love it when the air starts to get cooler and we go from barbecues and salads to more hearty indoor comfort meals. There is nothing more hearty than a delicious beef bourguinon made slow and easy in your slow cooker. This tasty slow cooker beef bourginon recipe has a little work on the front end but once that’s done you can enjoy the aroma of it cooking away while you enjoy your day!

Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 5 slices of bacon chopped
• 3 lbs stewing beef
• 1 cup good red wine
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 lb baby potatoes
• 5 medium carrots chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic minced
• 10 0z mushrooms sliced
• 8 oz pearl onions
• 2 tbsp fresh thyme minced
• fresh parsley finely chopped for garnish
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Add chopped bacon to a pan over medium heat and brown for 3-4 minutes. Remove bacon and place in slow cooker.
2. Salt and pepper stewing beef and place in the pan to sear in the bacon fat in small batches. Add beef to slow cooker.
3. Pour the cup of red wine into the pan and deglaze all the bits from the bottom.
4. Whisk in beef broth, soy sauce and tomato paste. Once those ingredients are incorporated, whisk in the flour and let simmer for a couple of minutes. Add to slow cooker.
5. Add the potatoes, chopped carrots, pearl onions, sliced mushrooms, minced garlic and thyme.
6. Stir all the ingredients together and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until beef is tender.
7. Once it’s done, finely chop some fresh flat leaf parsley on top and you’re ready to serve.

This delicious meal can be served with a crusty loaf of bread and creamy mashed potatoes. It’s definitely worth the added time it takes to sear the meat once you taste that rich dark gravy. It makes a great week night meal or a special Sunday supper with the family. I hope you try it, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
