Ingredients

4 pounds Stew beef cut into cubes

1 onion chopped

4 cups red cooking wine

8 ounces mushrooms quartered

4 cloves garlic diced

1 pound bacon cut small

2 pounds red potatoes

6 carrots cut into rings

2 teaspoons thyme

4 bay leaves

salt

pepper

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

the night before:

chop the mushrooms into quarters

chop the onion

cut the carrots in to rings

add the onions, carrots, beef, diced garlic, wine, mushrooms, bay leaves, olive oil and thyme into a big bowl and let marinade at least 6 hours (i do it overnight) salt and pepper to taste.

after marinade

fry the bacon in a big pot

when the bacon is fried add the marinaded food (the beef should be a beautiful deep purple color)

coved and simmer for at least 2 hours, more isn't going to do anything just watch the carrots so they don't turn to mush

boil the potatoes separately, i sometimes quarter them and add them to the pot after they are boiled, they take up some of the marinade flavor.

serve and enjoy, you can thicken the stock with a roux, but i usually don't, the liquid goes great with the potatoes.
