Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
- 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups dry red wine (such as Burgundy or Pinot Noir)
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, carrots, and mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer and let the wine reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Pour the sauce and vegetables over the beef in the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the flavors are well combined.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the Beef Burgundy over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or with crusty bread. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
