This slow cooker beef Bourguignon recipe is also a great freezer meal. This will last up to 3 months when frozen. You can even throw this together in advance and simply keep it in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.

INGREDIENTS :

• 3 lbs boneless beef chuck, cut to 1-inch cubes
• 1 lb baby potatoes (I used tricolor)
• 5 slices of bacon, finely chopped
• 1/2 c. tomato sauce
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1/4 c. soy sauce
• 8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp thyme, finely chopped
• 5 medium carrots, sliced
• 1 c. red cooking wine
• 2 c. chicken broth
• fresh chopped parsley for garnish
• 1/4 c. flour

DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Then, transfer the bacon to your slow cooker.

Step 2: Season the beef with salt and pepper. Place in the same skillet and sear for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker with bacon.

Step 3: To the now-empty skillet, pour in the wine and scrape down the brown bits. Let the wine simmer until reduced, then gradually add the chicken broth, tomato sauce, and soy sauce. Next, slowly stir in the flour. Pour this over the beef and bacon.

Step 4: To the slow cooker, add the garlic, thyme, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms. Stir and put the lid on. Set to cook for 8 to 10 hours on high until the beef is tender.

Step 5: Serve the beef bourguignon immediately garnished with some fresh parsley. Pair this up with mashed potatoes if desired. Enjoy!
