We also add some beef broth.
Beef cubes in the 3/4" range work pretty well.
Add about a cup of beef broth.
Substitute ketchup for the tomato paste - who has just a tablespoon of tomato paste on hand?
We found that "Fre Premium Red" de-alcoholized wine works really well in this dish, without the alcohol smell of a real burgundy or the added salt of a cooking wine. Fre also makes a merlot that would probably taste fine.
Finally, note that most crock pots cook rather faster than the settings claim. On the next-to-lowest setting on ours ("Eight Hours") the dish was fully cooked after around four hours. I think it would have been Broth Bourguignon after eight hours.
