Beef Bourguignon
Even though this fancy-sounding stew (pronounced boor-gen-YUN or boor-ge-NYON) takes a while to prepare, it’s well worth the time. Packed with beef and vegetables, it’s a complete meal in a bowl.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, stir together the flour and pepper. Add the beef, turning to coat and shaking off the excess.
Step 2
Lightly spray a Dutch oven with cooking spray. Heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the beef for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 3
Stir in the onion and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes, or until soft, stirring frequently.
Step 4
Stir in the mushrooms. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they absorb the liquid in the pot.
Step 5
Stir in the tomatoes, water, wine, and herb seasoning blend. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 2 hours, stirring occasionally and adding water if needed to keep the bottom of the pot covered.
Step 6
Stir in the potatoes and carrots. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.
Slow-Cooker Method
Step 7
Omit the cooking spray and oil. Put the coated beef cubes in a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients and cook, covered, on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 8 to 9 hours, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.
Cook’s Tip
Step 8
If you prefer, replace the herb seasoning blend with a combination of 1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley; 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled; 1/4 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled; 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled; 1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed; and 1/8 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled.
