So, I've been on a rampage to use up food before I go visit my parents for the weekend. This is especially difficult since we have about a 2 week back-up on our crop share produce. In order to use up some mushrooms & onions, I thought of a Beef with mushrooms & onions in a red wine base. Here goes:
Faux Beef Burgundy
- ~1.5 lb. Stew Beef
- 1 medium to large red onion
- 1 pkg white mushrooms
- 1/2-1 large sweet potato, peeled & cubed
- 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/2 Bottle Cocobon Red Wine
- 3 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
- 1-1.5 Tbsp Herb de Province, dried
- 1 tsp. Oregano, dried
- 1.5 tsp. French Thyme, dried
- dash or two Paprika
In a 4 qt. slow cooker, make a nest (don't know if this is entirely necessary) of sliced onion and nestle cubed beef in it. Place cubed Sweet potato and mushrooms on top. Add spices and pour vinegar and wine all over. Pour yourself a glass of wine too? Cover crockpot & either cook on low for ~7 hours or cook on high for an hour and a half, then switch to low for 2.5 hours. Mine wasn't "pretty" because I took no care or artistry in how I cut the bits, but the taste was to die for! Serves 4.
