This is my adaptation of Rita's "Recipe#54850" #54850 for making it in the crock pot for A French Love Affair challenge in ZWT 8/France. I have made no changes to the ingredients, only the preparation so that it is suited for the crock pot. I reduced the wine by half to adapt this recipe to the crock pot. It is a delicious recipe!

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 lbs cubed stew meat
4 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb button mushroom, cleaned and left whole
1 lb white pearl onion, peeled
4 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup red wine
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt and ground black pepper.
Coat the beef cubes with this mixture.
Melt the butter in cast iron pot over medium high heat. (Or if not worried about fat fry 3 bacon slices till browned remove and use the fat in place or with the butter).

Saute for 5 to 10 minutes, or until onion is tender.

Tips:

Use high-quality beef for the best flavor. Look for chuck roast, beef brisket, or short ribs.
Brown the beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop flavor and color.
Use a good quality red wine for the sauce. A full-bodied wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will give the sauce a rich flavor.
Add a variety of vegetables to the slow cooker, such as carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
Season the dish with salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
Cook the beef bourguignon on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. The longer you cook it, the more tender the beef will be.
Serve the beef bourguignon over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. You can also garnish it with fresh parsley or chives.
