way to cook:
1. Sear the Beef: In a pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Brown the beef on all sides, then transfer to the slow cooker.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, cook onions, garlic, and mushrooms until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste, then deglaze with red wine, scraping up any bits.
3. Slow Cook: Pour the wine mixture into the slow cooker. Add carrots, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
4. Cook Low & Slow: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until the beef is tender.
5. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): Mix 2 tbsp flour with ¼ cup water and stir it in 30 minutes before serving.
6. Serve & Enjoy: Remove bay leaves and serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
A rich, hearty, and elegant slow cooker dish perfect for cozy nights!
