How to Make Slow-Cooker Beef Bourguignon (Alcohol-Free)
  1. Sauté mushrooms in a large skillet over medium-high heat until deep brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pat beef cubes dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear in hot oil until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
  3. Transfer seared beef and mushrooms to the slow cooker, then stir in beef broth, tomato paste, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaves.
  4. Nestle carrots and pearl onions around the beef and pour liquid until meat is just covered.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours (or HIGH for 4) until beef is fork-tender.
  6. Whisk flour with a few tablespoons of broth until smooth. Stir into slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 15 minutes.
  7. Stir in cold butter just before serving for a glossy finish.
