I was in the French wine country this past fall and had theworst Beef Bourguignon ever!
Since then, I've been wanting a GOOD Beef Bourguignon and friends… This is it! Slow Cooker Boneless Beef Short Ribs Bourguignon!
Not gonna lie. This isn't the traditional way to make Beef Bourguignon. After having what I had in France, I'm all about doing it my own way and this is the EASIEST way to make a French-inspired winter comfort dish your family and friends will love!
How to make Slow Cooker Boneless Beef Short Ribs Bourguignon:
- Start with boneless beef short ribs. I know… it's an oxymoron. Boneless ribs? Actually, "boneless" beef short ribs are cut from the chuck and consist of rib meat already separated from the bone.
- Next, cook a little bacon.
- Then, brown 2 to 3 pounds of boneless beef short ribs in a skillet or saute pan with some of the drippings with olive oil.
- Place them in a slow cooker with copious amounts of red wine, some beef broth, tomato paste, carrots, garlic and herbs.
- Be sure to use GOOD WINE! Not your best, but something you would actually drink. Weak, mass-produced wine won't give you that same hearty depth of flavor. Keep in mind that a bad wine doesn't get any better when it's cooked or placed into a dish.
- Let it all simmer away until the boneless beef short ribs are ridiculously tender.
- Create a slurry with flour and some of the hot liquid to thicken the gravy.
- Saute the mushrooms in a little butter then add them to the slow cooker.
- Let the meat rest a little bit before serving.
- Friends! May I just let the next few photos speak for themselves?
