Why We Love It

• A specialty of France's Burgundian countryside, rustic beef bourguignonne is a beloved dinner party dish that's equally appropriate for a family supper, especially when you make it with our timesaving sauce. It's simple to prepare with our all-natural stew base, made with red wine, beef stock, cremini mushrooms and herbs for authentic French flavors.

• 2 cups (200g) thawed frozen pearl onions

Season beef chuck roast cubes with salt and pepper. In large fry pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm oil. Add 1 diced bacon and cook until browned, 5–8 minutes. Drain. Pour off all but 1 Tbs. fat from pan.

Working in batches, brown beef on all sides.

Slow-cooker method: Transfer beef and bacon to insert and add braising sauce. Cover and cook on high until meat is fork-tender (approx. 5 hours), adding thawed frozen pearl onions and peeled baby carrots in last hour of cooking.

Stovetop method: Return all beef and bacon to pan and add braising sauce. Bring to simmer, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until meat is fork-tender (approx. 3 hours), adding vegetables in last hour. Skim fat off sauce and serve.
