Beef Bourguignon slow cooker recipe
Beef bourguignon tastes fantastic when it's made in a slow cooker, because of all the extra time allowed for the dish to sit in its own juices allowing the flavour to deepen and beef to tenderise. This French beef stew combines beef cubes, mushrooms, shallots or onions, carrots, red wine, fresh herbs and a beef bourguignon sachet mix for a delicious result. Simply put all the ingredients in a slow cooker for a few hours and voila!
