Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon

A comforting dish of tender beef, hearty vegetables, and a rich wine sauce, perfect for busy days and family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 slices diced beef
  • 3 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup red cooking wine
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 3 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 5 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 pound baby potatoes (tri-color variety)
  • 8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef for 5-7 minutes or until crisp. Remove and transfer to the slow cooker.
  2. Season the beef chuck pieces with salt and pepper. Brown them in the skillet on each side for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  3. Pour the red cooking wine into the skillet, scraping the bottom to release browned bits. Simmer and reduce slightly.
  4. Gradually add chicken broth, tomato sauce, and soy sauce; whisk in flour to thicken. Pour this mixture over the meat and beef in the slow cooker.
  5. Add the minced garlic, thyme, sliced carrots, baby potatoes, and mushrooms to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or on HIGH for 6 hours until the beef is tender.
  7. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the stew before serving.

Notes

Pairs well with mashed potatoes or crusty bread. For storage, cool and store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
