This Beef Burgundy recipe is a no-fuss entrée. It’s a beef stew slowly braised in red wine with carrots, onions, and garlic and garnished with mushrooms. Add a salad and bread and you’ve got a great family meal! 

Also called, Boeuf Bourguignon, this dinner is traditionally made with red Burgundy, a wine made from Pinot Noir grapes. However, it’s fine to use other red wines such as a Pinot Noir or a hearty Cabernet Sauvignon. The general rule for cooking a dinner dish with wine is: Don’t cook with a wine that you wouldn’t drink! In fact, you’ll have leftovers which may be your drinking wine.

Ingredients
2 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup olive oil
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 cups hot water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1-1/2 cups Burgundy
1/2 pound small white onions
4 carrots, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
Egg noodles or rice (optional)
Instructions
  1. Coat beef with flour. 
  2. In a large pot, heat olive oil. Add meat and brown quickly over high heat. 
  3. Transfer meat to a slow cooker. 
  4. Dissolve bouillon cubes in the hot water. 
  5. Add garlic, tomato paste, Burgundy, onions, carrots, herbs, and sugar to the slow cooker. Stir gently. 
  6. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours. 
  7. Just before serving, melt butter in a pan and cook mushrooms until golden. Add them to the beef. 
  8. Serve over egg noodles or rice, if desired. Beef Burgundy can be made the day before serving and reheated.

Where did the idea of adding sugar come from? I would never consider ruining a perfectly good savory dish by adding sugar. We don't need to pour on more calories any way.

Sugar is used in tomato based recipes to cut the acidity. Professional cooks do this all the time. Just a pinch is all you need and you won't even taste the sugar.

so true Smokey,esp when cookinem.Fresh from the garden w/a touch of s/p always the best ! yumm...cant wait till Harvest !!
