In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon to a separate plate, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
Toss chuck roast pieces with flour until lightly coated.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the coated beef to the skillet. Brown the beef for about 5 minutes, working in batches if needed. Remove the browned beef and place it on the plate with the bacon.
Chop the cooked bacon into smaller pieces.
Add the browned beef, chopped bacon, peeled and chopped carrots, diced white onion, sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, dried thyme, and bay leaves to a 6-quart crock pot.
In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk together red cooking wine, beef broth, and tomato paste until smooth. Pour the mixture into the crock pot over the meat and vegetables.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender.
Remove and discard the bay leaves.
Top with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.

I used diced chuck roast for this recipe, but you can use stew meat or diced arm roast instead if you prefer.
