Slow Cooker Mushroom and Beef Burgundy {with mashed potatoes}

Mar 23, 2015 · 13 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

In this slow cooker mushroom and beef burgundy dish beef is braised to tender perfection in a red wine and beef broth sauce which is gently flavored with onions, garlic and mushrooms and is served  over creamy mashed potatoes.

Beef burgundy (or beef bourguingnon as some may know it) is a dish that originated in the French Bourgogne region, and can be easily made in your home. The version I’m sharing with you is a warming slow cooker meal that I like to serve with a glass of bold red wine (aka burgundy wine).

Warming dishes that can be made ahead of time and then enjoyed throughout the week (or later if freezing it – which I’ll talk about below) are what I find myself being drawn to. What I’ve started doing is making a meal in my slow cooker/crock pot on the weekends, and then using it during the week or portioning it out and freezing it. My favorite tacos recipe, that one, for example, is perfect for making on the weekend and then using throughout the week. I simply make the salsa chicken and shred it, and then use it for meals such as tacos, as a topping for my enchilada flatbread (that recipe comes together super fast) or as a salad topping or on quesadillas. Make it one, enjoy it many times. Those are the kind of meals I’m all about these days.

With this mushroom and beef burgundy I find myself doing the same thing. I’ll make it on the weekend (I even double the recipe sometimes) and then have it in the fridge to enjoy during the week. I use this slow cooker, it’s super big, so it’s very accommodating if I ever want to double a recipe.

Mushroom and beef with wine is just such a great flavor combination. It reminds me of the mushroom and wine sirloin steak sandwiches recipe I just posted about…maybe I can get my husband to make this dish as well? I know he definitely enjoys this dish. It’s also one of those dishes that is perfect to make if you’re having company. It’s just so flavorful and everyone is going to think you spent hours upon hours in the kitchen, when really all you did was prep the meat, put the ingredients in the slow cooker, and then made the mashed potatoes. With the mashed potatoes what I like to do is make a parsnip and potato mash. The parsnips add a nice earthy and creamy flavor to the potatoes, it works perfectly as a bed to serve the mushroom and beef on.

And lets say that you don’t want to enjoy this meal later on, as in, a few weeks from now, well, this dish is one that works very well as a freezer meal. To freeze it simply make it, then let it cool, then put the mushrooms and beef in a freezer zip lock bag or tupperwear container and put the parsnip and potato mash in a separate container, label it (don’t forget to label it!) and then put it in the freezer. When you’re ready to serve it simply let it thaw in the refrigerator and then warm it in the microwave or via stove top. The parsnip and potato mash may seem a little liquidy when thawed, but I’ve found that in the process of heating it the liquid gets absorbed and it is just the right texture when warm (microwaving it works great!)

Prep Time: 30 minutes minutes

Inactive Time: 6 hours hours 36 minutes minutes
Total Time: 7 hours hours 10 minutes minutes
Servings: 4 -6

Ingredients

  • For the Mushroom & Beef Burgundy
  • 1 lb beef chuck cubed into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 Tbs flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 Tbs butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 2 packages 8oz. each sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ cups red wine
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • For the Parsnip & Potato Mash
  • 5 medium potatoes
  • 2 parsnips
  • 1 Tbs butter
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic salt

Instructions

  • Place flour, salt and pepper on a plate. Roll beef cubes in the flour.
  • Heat butter in a frying pan over high heat and add the chopped onion. Cook until the onions start to become translucent (about 5 minutes) then add the garlic cloves and mushroom slices and 1 tsp salt and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally and then transfer the contents into a slow cooker/crock pot.
  • Now in the same pan add the oil and add the beef cubes in. Cook the meat for 5 minutes until it starts to brown (the best way to do this is to just let it sit without stirring but once to allow for the meat to form a brown crust). Then add the meat to a crock pot. Pour the wine in the pan and deglaze until it reduces in size (about 5 minutes) then and pour in the crock pot and add beef broth and cook on high for 2 hours (or low for 4 hours) until the meat falls apart when a fork is poked into it. I like it best when it has time to really cook low and slow, so I go with the 4 hours on low
  • To make the parsnip potato mash, peel potato and parsnips and boil for 30 minutes, then strain them, and return to the pot. Add in the butter, milk, salt and garlic salt, mash until creamy.

    I was thinking a green veggie added to the mix would complete the meal – will add halved brussels sprouts with an hour or so to cook in the crock 🙂

      Oh that’s a good idea (I would have added some green beans – but just because I’ve never done brussels sprouts in the crock pot). Hope you liked this meal!

Here are my November 5 star books: Mrs Nash’s A Here are my November 5 star books:
Mrs Nash’s Ashes by @sarahadlerwrites  I did not want this lovely book to end! The characters had such great chemistry and it was overall such a good romance.”A starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) an elderly woman take the road trip of a lifetime that just might upend everything they believe about true love.”
Will They Or Won’t They by @avawilderwrites Such a cute story and I loved the ending, was not expecting it to end the way it did with the little twist. “Onscreen, they’re in love. Offscreen, they can’t stand each other. From the author of How to Fake It in Hollywood comes “a sexy lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romance that smolders then bursts into flames”
Flying Solo @lindaholmes97  @justjuliawhelan narrates - she’s my fave narrator. This was such a fun audiobook, there were parts that had me loling and it was a unique love story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. “A woman returns to her small Maine hometown, uncovering family secrets that take her on a journey of self-discovery and new love, in this warm and charming novel from the NYT bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over.”
The Lost Bookshop @evie.gaughan This was such a lovely cozy read with a touch of whimsey, I really loved the story. “The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Apothecary in this evocative and charming novel full of mystery and secrets. ‘The thing about books,’ she said ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’ On a quiet street in Dublin, a lost bookshop is waiting to be found…”
