Add more oil to the pan and sauté the mushrooms over medium heat until they are brown and soft, about 4-5 minutes.

Remove the mushrooms and set aside.

Add the onion to the pan and cook until softened.

Add garlic and cook for about 30 to 60 seconds.

Place the cooked onion and garlic, the beef with its juices, the mushrooms, red wine, beef broth, and tomato paste into the slow cooker.

Stir and lock the lid on the slow cooker.

Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours.

After cooking, stir in the yogurt and then the parsley.

Serve with pasta.
