Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Brown the beef in batches if needed, avoiding overcrowding so it browns properly. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.

Add the onions to the same skillet. Cook, stirring, until softened and starting to brown slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Move the onions to the slow cooker.

Return the skillet to medium-high heat and pour in 1/2 of the wine. Bring it to a simmer, scraping up the browned bits from the pan with a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat and carefully pour it into the slow cooker along with the remaining wine. Add the carrots, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
