     Brown beef in bacon grease or oil and place in bowl

 Brown carrot and onion. Season with salt and pepper; stir in flour. Add broth, mix well. 
Add thyme, tomato paste, chopped garlic, bay leaf, and onions; cook 'til onions are slightly softened.
 Place in CrockPot with beef and cook on low setting for 8-10 hours.
 About 1/2 hour before serving time, add  mushrooms you've sauteed in 2 ts butter to CrockPot along with burgundy
 if you like a thicker gravy ~ whisk in some gravy flour.
 Change setting to high and cook for that extra half hour.
