Beef Bourguignon

A la Julia Child.... except in the crock pot!

This was DELICIOUS! The beef truly so tender, it melted in our mouths! Five stars for taste, 4 stars for prep work (cutting veggies, cooking bacon, etc.)

3 T flour
Salt & Pepper
3lb beef chuck, cubed (ask your butcher to do this and trim the fat!)
3 large carrots
1medium onion, sliced
6 strips cooked bacon, cut into 1inpieces
10oz beef broth
2 C red wine
1 T tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 sprigs thyme, steamed
1 bay leaf
1lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 large potatoes, chunked

Coat beef in flour seasoned w/ salt & pepper. Sear beef in skillet. Place meat and remaining ingredients in crock pot. Cover & cook on low 8-10hours until meat is tender.
