Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices bacon thick-cut, chopped
  • 3.5 lbs boneless beef chuck
  • 1.5 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 3 large carrots chopped
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 8 oz white pearl onions peeled
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups dry red wine
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions
 

  • Start by crisping up the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s nice and golden, use a slotted spoon to scoop it into a bowl and set it aside for later.
  • While the bacon’s sizzling away, cut your chuck roast into hearty 2-inch chunks.
  • In that same skillet, sear the beef in batches for 3–5 minutes per side until beautifully browned. Transfer the seared pieces straight into your crockpot.
  • Add the baby potatoes, carrots, onions, pearl onions, garlic, and mushrooms to the crockpot.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the red wine, beef broth, cornstarch, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour that mixture over the beef and veggies, then tuck in sprigs of thyme, rosemary, and a bay leaf.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, until the beef is fall-apart tender and your kitchen smells like pure comfort.
