2. Add the wine to the frying pan to deglaze, then add mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic and thyme and cook until mixture is simmering.
3. Place the beef cheeks in the slow cooker, pour the mushroom mixture over the meat and cook on the lowest setting for 6-8 hours.
4. Before serving sprinkle with parsley. Pairs well with mashed potatoes or cooked polenta.
