Cut the beef chuck roast into chunks and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

In a large pot, heat unsalted butter over medium heat.

Brown the thick-cut bacon until crispy, then remove and set aside.

In the same pot, add the yellow onion, carrot, and garlic; sauté until softened.

Return the bacon and beef to the pot and add tomato paste, dry red wine, beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the beef is tender.

In the last hour, add the pearl onions and cremini mushrooms, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
