Beef Bourguignon Recipe Video
I am doing this dish of Beef Bourguignon as a special request from a viewer in England named Paul. He contacted me and asked if I would make something in a slow cooker. He is only now getting into cooking and didn't want to look at a cookbook or look for a recipe to read online he is more of the visual type so this week I am making Beef Bourguignon or Beef Burgundy, using two inch chunks of beef bottom round, carrots, pearl onions, mushrooms, and baby golden potatoes coated with a deeply flavored, silky sauce that is fortified with some French cognac!

GETTING READY
1. Cut your Andouille sausage into 1/2 inch thick slices.
2. In a large mixing bowl take flour and coat the meat.
3. To make bouquet garni, in cheesecloth put the rosemary, thyme, and crushed bay leaves and tie with a string.
MAKING
4. In a saute pan or skillet put some cooking oil and brown the sausage up. Once done remove from the pan and set aside.
5. Next brown the flour coated meat, adding in a pinch of salt and pepper. After browned, set it aside.
6. In the same saute pan or skillet, take the sliced carrots, celery and pearl onions and brown them. Add a pinch of salt and pepper while cooking. Once done set aside.
7. In another pan pour some oil and add some butter and saute the mushrooms. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper while sauteing.
8. In a 5 quart crock pot, put in the charred brown onion half, browned beef, Andouille sausage, garlic, mushrooms and veggies.
9. Then pour in the red wine follwed by the beef stock leaving half an inch to the surface.
10. Drop the bouquet garni and let it cook on low heat for a total of 7-8 hours.
11. About 4 hours into cooking add the tomato paste and mix in.
12. After it has been cooking for 5 hours, add in a shot of French cognac to fortify the red wine.
13. After the beef bourguignon has cooked for another hour, add your potatoes and mix. This will take about an hour or two.

TIPS
Make sure your beef is thoroughly dry of all excess moisture. If the meat is wet it will not brown correctly!
