Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 large Carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 cups Red wine (such as Burgundy or Pinot Noir)
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 Bay leaves
• 4 Fresh thyme sprigs
• 8 ounces Button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Pearl onions (frozen or fresh, peeled)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, toss the beef cubes with flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper to coat evenly.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In batches, sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides. Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the carrots, chopped onion, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet with the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, then transfer the mixture to the crock pot.

Step 5

Pour the beef broth into the crock pot and add the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are flavorful.

Step 7

During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the sliced mushrooms and pearl onions to the crock pot. Stir to combine and allow them to cook through.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot, paired with crusty bread or over buttered noodles.
