]]
[[Beef]] bourguignon is a well-known, traditional French beef stew recipe. It is essentially a stew prepared with beef [[Braised|braised]] in a full bodied [[Red wine|red wine]] and [[Beef stock|beef stock]], generally flavoured with [[Garlic|garlic]], [[Onions|onions]], [[Carrots|carrots]], and a [[Bouquet garni|bouquet garni]], and garnished with pearl [[Onions|onions]] and [[Mushrooms|mushrooms]].

This version is especially for a slow cooker and can be prepared with no pre-cooking and will cook in 8 hours (or more) so can be left cooking all day, while you are out at work.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 450 g [[Stewing]] [[Steak|steak]], trimmed of excess [[Fat|fat]] and cut into bite-sized cubes
| 3 large [[Carrots|carrots]], sliced in half length-wise.
| 1 bottle of robust [[Red wine|red wine]] such as Bulls blood.
| 225 ml beef stock made with 1 [[oxo cube]]
| [[Bouquet garni]] (I used a variation on version 4)
| half a lime (unsqueezed)
| 8 [[banana shallots]], peeled and cut in half
| 150g of [[button mushrooms]], sliced
| 3 [[carrots]], scrubbed and sliced
| 2 sticks of [[celery]] cut into moons
| 110 g (4 oz) [[home smoked bacon]] or good quality smoked [[bacon]]
| 1 tablespoon of [[plain flour]]
| Pinch of salt
| Good pinch of freshly ground [[black pepper]]
| 6 small tomatoes cut in half
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Season the flour with [[salt]] and [[pepper]]
| Roll the meat cubes in the flour to coat well - this will help to thicken the stew.
| Add the remaining ingredients to the [[slow cooker]]
| Stir well
| Cook on low for 8 hours or more. As an experiment, I left the stew as photographed for 10 hours (on low).

}}
===Serving suggestion===

Often served with [[noodles]], was also good with [[squash mash]] and garden peas. Also good with [[mashed potatoes]].

===Variations===
If you have time beforehand, you can [[brown]] the whole [[shallots]] and the cubes of [[beef]] in a separate pan, before slow cooking. It adds a little colour and some extra flavour. However, when testing this recipe, everything was tipped into the slow cooker, no pre-frying and the results were perfectly acceptable.
