Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups red wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck roast into 1.5-inch cubes, trimming off excess fat. Season the beef with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until all sides are browned. Transfer the seared beef to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables start to soften. Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for an additional minute.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in 1 cup of red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, and simmer for 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into the crock pot.
Add the remaining red wine, beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs to the crock pot. Stir to combine ingredients evenly.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and the flavors are well-developed.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until the mixture turns golden, about 1-2 minutes. Ladle 1/2 cup of the hot cooking liquid from the crock pot into the roux, whisking constantly, then stir the thickened mixture back into the crock pot.
Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs from the crock pot. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the beef bourguignon hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Pair with mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or egg noodles for a complete meal.
