Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the pot and sauté until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 8 minutes.
Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let it simmer for 3 minutes.
Stir in the vegetable broth, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 25 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine flour and water to form a slurry.
Add the slurry to the stew to thicken it. Stir well and let cook for another 5 minutes.
