Week 3~ Preview for tonight's dinner :Beef Bourguignon

So, today I chose a modernized recipe for Julia Child's famous "Beef Bourguignon". I found it in my Slow Cooker Bible cookbook and it smells AMAZING!!

Some preparation pics for you! Doesn't this beef look delicious?!?

It took me approx 30 minutes to prepare, but I think it will be well worth it by dinner time!!

Here's the recipe:
6 strips bacon
3 pounds beef rump roast, cut into one inch cubes
1 large carrot, sliced ( I used approx 10 baby carrots)
1 medium onion, sliced
3 TBS flour
10 ounces condensed beef broth
2 cups of red wine ( LOVE IT !! )
10 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 pound small white onions (I used frozen pearl onions)
1 TBS tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 whole bay leaf

1. Cook bacon in skillet until crisp; remove and set aside.
2. Brown beef cubes in same skillet, place in crockpot.
3. Brown onion and carrots in skillet. Transfer to crockpot and season with salt and pepper.
4. Stir in flour, add beef broth and stir in bacon.
5. Add wine, mushrooms, pearl onions, tomato paste, garlic, thyme and bay leaf.

Cover and cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours.

It was DELICIOUS!! :)
