    Ingredients:
    – 1.5 lbs (700g) beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
    – 2 cups red wine (Burgundy or similar)
    – 1 cup beef broth
    – 2 carrots, sliced
    – 1 onion, chopped
    – 3 garlic cloves, minced
    – 2 tbsp tomato paste
    – 1 tbsp flour (optional for thickening)
    – 1 tbsp olive oil
    – 1 bay leaf
    – 1 tsp thyme
    – 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
    – Salt and pepper to taste

    ### Instructions:
    1. **Brown the beef (optional)**: Heat olive oil in a pan and brown the beef cubes for a few minutes. This step adds flavor but can be skipped for a quicker version.
    2. **Combine in the slow cooker**: Add the beef, carrots, onion, garlic, tomato paste, wine, beef broth, bay leaf, and thyme into the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
    3. **Cook**: Set the slow cooker to **low** and cook for **7-8 hours** (or on high for 4-5 hours).
    4. **Add mushrooms**: About 30 minutes before serving, add the sliced mushrooms.
    5. **Thicken the sauce (optional)**: If you want a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of flour with a little water to form a paste, then stir it into the stew.
    6. **Season and serve**: Taste and season with salt and pepper before serving. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.

    Enjoy!
