Beef Bourguignon is just a fancy name for buttery beef stew soaked in sweet tangy wine. The original recipe takes more time then this New Yorker has. So I developed a slow cooker version that cooks while I am at work. Just because life is busy doesn’t mean you cant have a fabulous dinner to celebrate you!
As a kid, I did not watch the typical TV shows. No cartoons for me. I watched Yen Can Cook, Ming Tsi, and Food Network. But my favorite show was Julia Childs shows. I thought she was the coolest and wanted to be just like her! Beef Bourguignon is her famous recipe so this is dedicated her. Her show was like a metaphor for life. Have fun, don’t worry if you mess up, and eat lots of butter! I hope this recipe makes you celebrate the joys in your life and gives you a warm comforting dinner when you come home from a hard worked day!
Cooking Hack That Makes This Recipe Weeknight Worthy:
- Sear the beef in the oven. Searing the beef first holds in the juicy flavor. But no need to make a big mess with oil splattering all over the kitchen. Lay the beef out on a sheet tray and place in at 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. This will give you the perfect sear with no mess and less time. Happy coking hack!
- Put all the ingredients in the slow cooker the night before and place in the fridge overnight! This serves two fun purposes. First, when you wake up plug it in and go to work easy. Secondly, letting it sit overnight gives the beef time to marinade and the seasoning to go all the way through the beef. This will make it super tasty.

I’m sorry you don’t have any Irish in your blood lines other wise you know you can’t make any kind of stew without Potatoes.
I saw this recipe on IG and after having tried another of Jay’s recipes decided to give this a try. My boyfriend won’t eat mushrooms so I emitted those, but other than that followed the exact recipe. The video guided me and also when I had a broth question I got an instant response. Anyways, this turned out delicious! Take the advice of marinating it overnight- I’ve never had a stew meat turn out so tender and juicy in my life. Will def try more of chop happys recipes!
Can I add potatoes to this recipe?
