Arrange the beef, onions, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, garlic, and bay leaves in a large baking pan.

Make the sauce: whisk together water, wine, soy sauce, date syrup/maple, salt, pepper, coriander seeds, paprika, and thyme.

Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables. Give it a small stir. Cover with aluminum foil.

Bake for 30 minutes at 400F (200C), then reduce the heat to 350F (180C) and bake for 3-4 hours, until the beef and veggies are very tender. Every 1 hour, open the lid and give it a stir. At the last 30 minutes, open the lid and bake.
