Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Vegetables

2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 2-inch cubes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups carrots, sliced
8 oz mushrooms, quartered
1 cup pearl onions, peeled

Liquid and Seasonings

2 cups red wine
2 cups beef broth
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried thyme
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Brown the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper, then brown on all sides to develop flavor and seal in juices. Transfer beef to the slow cooker.
Add vegetables: Add chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, quartered mushrooms, and peeled pearl onions into the slow cooker with the beef.
Prepare the cooking liquid: In a bowl, whisk together red wine, beef broth, tomato paste, dried thyme, bay leaves, and flour until smooth to create the flavorful cooking sauce. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Slow cook the stew: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened, allowing all the flavors to meld beautifully.
Finish and serve: Remove bay leaves before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot for a delicious meal.

Notes

For best flavor, brown the beef well before slow cooking.
Use a dry red wine such as Pinot Noir or Burgundy for authentic taste.
Pearl onions can be substituted with regular onions if unavailable.
To thicken the sauce further, you may remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
This dish tastes even better the next day after flavors have melded overnight.
