Steps:

1. Brown the Beef: Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches, browning all sides. Remove and set aside.
2. Cook the Bacon and Vegetables: In the same pot, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Add the chopped onion and sliced carrots, cooking until softened. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Combine and Simmer: Return the beef to the pot and sprinkle with flour, stirring to coat. Pour in the red wine, beef broth, and tomato paste. Add the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender.
4. Add Mushrooms: In a separate skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and sauté the mushrooms until browned. Add the mushrooms to the stew for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
5. Finish and Serve: Remove the bouquet garni and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
