Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon
This classic French beef bourguignon is a wonderful winter warmer. It's
worth taking the extra time to prepare and brown the ingredients be-
fore adding them to the slow cooker, but once it's bubbling away, you
can forget about it until dinner time.
Ingredients
• 200g speck, diced • 1.2kg chuck steak • 250g eschalots, peeled
• 1 tbsp olive oil • 1 medium brown onion, diced
• 3 medium carrots, diced • 2 stalks celery, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed • 2 cups (500ml) red wine
• 2 cups (500ml) beef stock • 1 bay leaf • 4 sprigs thyme
• 1 strip orange peel • 300g button mushrooms, quartered
Method
1.Brown speck in a large non-stick frypan over medium heat for 3
minutes or until the fat starts to render (melt). With a slotted spoon,
remove and place in the slow cooker. Cut steak into 5cm pieces. Season
well. In batches, brown well on all sides in the remaining speck fat. Re-
move to slow cooker. Place peeled whole eschalots in frypan and cook
for 2 minutes or until golden on all sides. Remove to slow cooker.
2.Heat olive oil in frypan. Cook onion, carrots, celery and garlic over
gentle heat for 3 minutes or until just a little caramelised. Add to slow
cooker. Return frypan to high heat. Pour in wine and allow to bub-
ble up. Add stock, bring to the boil and pour over ingredients in slow
cooker. Wrap bay leaf and thyme in the orange peel and tuck it into the
slow cooker. Cook on a low setting for 6-8 hours, adding the mush-
rooms for the final hour.
3.Serve with mashed potato and steamed green vegetables.
