Description
Beef Bourguignon is a classic French dish made with tender beef, red wine, and aromatic vegetables, slow-cooked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups red wine (preferably Burgundy or Pinot Noir)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 8 ounces mushrooms, quartered
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Toss the beef cubes in the flour mixture until well coated.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add the floured beef cubes in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
- Add the diced onion and sliced carrots to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- In a slow cooker, combine the browned beef, bacon, sautéed vegetables, red wine, beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until the beef is tender. In the last hour of cooking, add the quartered mushrooms.
- Once cooked, remove the bay leaves and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use homemade beef broth instead of store-bought.
- Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for a heartier meal.
