Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon Recipe
- Prep time: 15 Minutes
- Cook time: 8 Hours & 15 Minutes
- Total time: 8 Hours & 30 Minutes
- Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 1 kg (2.2 lb) chuck beef, cubed
- 6 rashers bacon, diced
- 5 shallots, peeled & halved
- 2 tsp garlic, crushed
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 300 g (10.6 oz) mushrooms, quartered
- 1 tsp thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, diced
- 2 cups red wine
- 2 cups beef stock
Instructions
- Firstly, fry the bacon in a frypan over medium heat until it is crispy. Once it is crispy, put it to the side.
- Next, sear the beef over high heat.
- Once the beef is browned, remove from the pan and add the red wine. Scrape the bottom of the pan as the wine simmers, this is called deglazing. After 2-3 minutes, transfer the red wine to a slow cooker.
- Add the beef to the slow cooker and add the rest of the ingredients, mix together.
- Cook on low for 8-12 hours.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve & Enjoy.
Recipe Tips
- You do not have to seal the beef in the frypan, but I highly recommend doing it if you have the time.
- By deglazing the pan with the red wine, you help get even more flavor into the dish while reducing the acidity of the wine.
