Ingredients
- 2 pounds cube steaks round steaks, or minute steaks
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 large onion sliced
- ½ cup red wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 4 ounces mushrooms halved
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 bay leaf

Instructions
- Pound the steaks using a meat tenderizer/mallet.
- Cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from the pan, leaving the fat in the bottom of the pan.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper and brown in the bacon fat. Place in the bottom of a 6qt slow cooker.
- Add onions to the pan and cook 2-3 minutes or just until it softens. Place onions in the slow cooker. Add wine to the pan, scraping any brown bits off, and pour into the slow cooker.
- Add all remaining ingredients except bacon & cornstarch. Cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
- Remove bay leaf. Combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water. Stir into the slow cooker and cover. Cook 15 minutes or until thickened.
- Stir in bacon and serve immediately.

Notes
- If you don't have cube steaks, I'd recommend using other cuts that tenderize well in a slow cooker like chuck roast, stewing beef, or round steak.
- If you check the beef and it isn't tender, it likely needs MORE time.
