A luxurious French dish needs no effort at all with a trusty slow-cooker. Just pop all the ingredients in, and prepare to be greeted with a simmering, tender beef bourguignon, perfect with a side of mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
A luxurious French dish needs no effort at all with a trusty slow-cooker. Just pop all the ingredients in, and prepare to be greeted with a simmering, tender beef bourguignon, perfect with a side of mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
Place shallots, mushrooms, bacon, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, wine, stock, paste and beef in a 4.5 litre (18 cup) slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low, about 8 hrs. Season to taste.
Discard thyme and bay leaves. Stir in half the parsley; season to taste. Serve topped with remaining parsley and accompany with crusty bread, if you like.
TIP Not suitable to freeze. If the shallots are large, cut in half. Serve with mashed potato or steamed baby new potatoes.
