A classic!  We love this beef burgundy recipe all year 'round, but it's a must-have on Christmas Eve!

1/4 teaspoon thyme

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 clove garlic -- minced

1 cube beef bouillon -- crushed

1 cup Burgundy wine

In large skillet cook bacon several minutes. Remove bacon and set aside. Coat beef with flour and brown on all sides in bacon mixture. Combine steak, bacon drippings, cooked bacon, seasonings, bouillon and Burgundy in crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or until meat is tender. Turn control to high. Add cornstarch (dissolved in 2 tablespoons water); cook on high 15 minutes.
