  6. Stir in the flour and tomato paste, cooking for 2 minutes.
  7. Pour in the red wine and beef broth, stirring well to combine.
  8. Return the beef and bacon to the pot. Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaves.
  9. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours.
  10. Prepare the pearl onions in a skillet until golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes, then set aside.
  11. Sauté the quartered mushrooms until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
  12. Combine the caramelized pearl onions and sautéed mushrooms to the pot, simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes.
  13. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Adjust seasoning and garnish with fresh parsley.
