Instructions

Prepare the Beef: Season the beef chunks with salt and pepper on all sides.
Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef chunks and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic, sauté until onions are translucent.
Deglaze the Skillet: Pour in the red wine and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Combine Ingredients: In a slow cooker, combine seared beef, sautéed onions and garlic, halved potatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Slow Cook: Pour the deglazed liquid over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until beef and potatoes are tender.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, stir in fresh parsley. Serve hot with additional parsley for garnish if desired.

Notes

Searing the beef before slow cooking enhances the flavor.
For extra richness, add a splash of balsamic vinegar before serving.
Adjust seasoning to taste before serving, especially salt and pepper.
If you prefer thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and stir in towards the end to thicken.
