Method
 

Instructions
  1. Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the beef in batches for about 5 minutes, until it's beautifully browned on all sides.
  2. In the same skillet, add the finely chopped yellow onion and minced garlic. Sauté for around 3 minutes, until fragrant and golden.
  3. In the slow cooker, layer the seared beef, sautéed onions, carrots, quartered mushrooms, chopped spring onions, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, red wine, and beef broth. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the beef is fall-apart tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Once cooked, remove the bay leaves and serve the beef bourguignon hot, ideally over creamy mashed potatoes or alongside crusty bread.
  6. Optional: Garnish with fresh thyme before serving.
