Cut the meat into cubes and fry in small portions, season with salt and pepper, set aside. Sauté the peeled shallots (whole) with bacon in 1 tablespoon of oil and stew for 10 minutes, then also set aside.
Then sauté 2-3 shallots cut into slices, the sliced carrots and the garlic in a saucepan and brown with one or two tablespoons of flour while stirring. Deglaze with the beef stock, add tomato paste and pinot noir. Bring the whole thing to a boil and let it thicken slightly. Season to taste with salt, pepper and thyme.
Now put the meat, the sautéed shallots, a few stalks of parsley, bay leaves and the red wine sauce in a large saucepan, season again to taste (it still tastes a lot like red wine, but is normal). Cover and simmer on the lowest rack in the oven at 180 ° C for about 1 ½ hours.
To serve, chop the remaining parsley and sprinkle over it.
Serve with spaetzle. Drink Pinot Noir red wine with it!
