Carbonade de Boeuf
Slow Cooker Recipe

3 pounds lean beef, chuck is the best and cut into cubes about 2 by 3 or so
Olive oil
6 cups sliced onions
3 cloves garlic pressed
1 cup excellent beef stock
1 cup beer of good quality
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

herb bouquet tied in cheesecloth
parsely 4 sprigs
1/2 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Optional
The addition of carrots and potatoes is not classic to this French dish, but it does save time and the cleaning of more utensils.

6 carrots peeled and chopped in 1/2 inch pieces
5 potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • Dry beef cubes with paper towels and brown in oil. (If you have a slow cooker that can be used on the stove this makes the preparation even easier.)
  • Take your time and get every piece nicely colored and do not add too many pieces at a time which will lower the temperature of the oil.
  • When the meat is brown, remove and add the onions and let them get nicely browned. This will take a while and make sure not to burn them.
  • Remove.
  • Place carrots and potatoes in bottom of slow cooker.
  • Add the meat and onions and all the remaining ingredients including herb bouquet.
  • You can do all this the night before. Do not refrigerate. Cook on low 8 or 9 hours.
  • One hour before serving, remove bouquet garni and pour off cooking juices from the cooker into a saucepan. Skim off any fat.
  • Rapidly reduce the cooking juices to about one third. Check and correct seasonings and pour back over Carbonnades.
  • Let cook one more hour or until you need to serve.

    You cannot overcook food in a slow cooker, usually.
    Enjoy with our 2006 Pinot Noir.
