Sometimes you got to try some dishes that seems a bit more posh than what you usually cook, so a while ago I decided to give a Beef Bourguignon a try.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil

600g casserole steak, cut into large chunks

1 large onion, peeled and chopped

6 rashes streaky bacon, roughly chopped

2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped

325g carrots, peeled and chopped

300ml red wine

250ml beef stock

2 sprigs thyme

mashed potatoes, to serve

Heat some oil in a large frying pan.

Season the meat and cook in the pan for 6-8 minutes, until browned all over. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and put into a slow cooker.

Add a little more oil to the pan and add the onion and bacon and sauté for 4 minutes before adding the garlic and carrots, then cook for a further 3-4 minutes.

Pour in the red wine and stir to help de-glaze the pan, then add the stock and stir.

Next pour the liquid and vegetables over the beef in the slow cooker.

Add the sprigs of thyme to the slow cooker, and then cook for 8 hours on a low heat, or until the beef is very tender.

Serve with mash potatoes, and any other veg you would like.

This dish is definitely perfect as we start heading into the colder and darker evenings, especially with it being a slow cooker recipe. There's nothing better than coming home after work on a cold evening to a meal ready to tuck into, with the aroma's filling the kitchen.

I loved this dish, it was full of flavour and was really tasty, I served mine with sweet potato mash that worked perfectly. I definitely need to purchase a new slow cooker, ready to start enjoying this again in the upcoming months.

If you're interested in the original recipe then you can head over to Tesco's Beef Bourguignon recipe page.

See you soon!
