Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon
Description
Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon is a slow-simmered stew featuring beef chuck that has been browned alongside crispy diced bacon. A sauce made from reduced red cooking wine, chicken broth, tomato sauce, and soy sauce envelops the meat and vegetables, including carrots, baby potatoes, and fresh mushrooms. Garlic and thyme add aromatic depth to the dish. Slow cooking tenderizes the beef and melds the flavors, creating a comforting stew with a rich, savory profile and varied textures from the soft vegetables and tender meat.
The finished dish can be served with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the sauce. The fresh parsley garnish adds a hint of brightness that lifts the rich stew.
The recipe notes indicate it is an updated version from 2019, though it retains classic elements. Cooking times vary for low or high heat settings in the slow cooker, allowing for flexibility. Using tri-color baby potatoes adds visual appeal.
