Shortcut Boeuf (Beef) Bourguignon is a French stew that is traditionally made with cubed beef chuck, bacon, red wine, and vegetables like carrots and potatoes. It is a recipe that requires slow cooking over several hours, but this shortcut version cuts down on the cooking time while still delivering the familiar, comforting flavors of the classic dish. The beef stew meat is simmered in a red wine and beef broth sauce, with the addition of bacon, onions, and mushrooms. It is perfect served over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

4.Add the beef stew meat to the pot and sprinkle with flour and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until browned.
5.Add the red wine, beef broth, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine all ingredients.
6.Cover and place the pot in the oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
