How to Make Beef Bourguignon Crock Pot

1. Cook 1/2 pound bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove, drain on paper towels, and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
2. In the same skillet, add 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes, and brown on all sides in the reserved bacon grease.
3. Transfer the browned beef to your crock-pot.
4. Add 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped, and 1 large yellow onion, chopped, to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
5. Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until well combined.
6. Gradually whisk in 3 cups beef broth, ensuring no lumps form.
7. Pour the broth mixture into the crock-pot with the beef.
8. Add the cooked bacon, 1 cup dry red wine (Burgundy is traditional), 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 4 cloves garlic, minced, 1 bay leaf, 1 cup pearl onions, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms.
9. Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours or on high for 5-6 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
10. Before serving, remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
