Thank you PureWow for the recipe!

Ingredients

  • 5 slices bacon (diced)

  • 3 lbs. beef chunk (cubed)

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 8 oz. pearl onions (peeled)

  • 4 carrots (peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces)

  • 1 quart cremini mushrooms (quartered)

  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)

  • 2 cups beef broth

  • 1 + ¼ cups red wine

  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter

  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme

  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley

  • Mashed potatoes (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it’s crisp for about 5 minutes. Remove it from the heat and transfer it to the bowl of a slow cooker. 

  2. Season the beef with salt and pepper and add each piece to the skillet in an even layer. Sear until it’s well-browned on each side—about 3 minutes per side. Transfer it to the slow cooker. 

  3. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the beef and bacon, then stir to combine. Add the carrots, onions, mushrooms, and garlic and stir gently to combine. Add the beef broth, wine, tomato paste, bay leaf, and butter. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender. 

  4. Stir in the thyme and serve with a parsley garnish.
