Today Show Beef Burgundy (Slow Cooker) image

Traditionally served with buttered potatoes garnished with parsley, this version cooks the entire meal in the slow cooker. If you have extra time, marinate meat overnight in red wine, crushed garlic, fresh cracked pepper, fresh thyme, chopped carrots and onions, then pat dry before serving. If you want a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water or stock. You can also exclude the potatoes and serve over buttered noodles or spatzle.
