In a small saucepan bring wine and bay leaves to the boil. Then simmer until reduced by half.
Dredge beef chunks in flour, shaking of any excess. Heat oil in a large heavy based pan and brown beef on all sides, in batches if necessary. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan saute the chopped onion and garlic until translucent, add bacon pieces and coook until crispy.
Return browned beef to the pan with the remaining ingredients, including the reduced red wine, stir well to combine, bring to the boil. Transfer the lot to your slow cooker and cook for 9 hours or until meat falls apart. (Alternatively, it can go in an oven in a casserole dish with a tight fitting lid for several hours). If mixture is too dry, add extra stock or water. Remove lid for the last half hour, if you like, to reduce and thicken.
Serve on smashed potatoes.
