Directions: |
Directions:1. First, cut the beef cubes about 1-inch thick. Trim away any large chunks of fat.
2. Wash and dice the carrots, onions, celery, bell pepper, and potatoes. Set aside.
3. Peel and minced the garlic cloves and dice the onion.
4. Heat up the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and gently stir so it browns on all sides.
5. Add the diced onions and minced garlic. Stir everything together and let the pan simmer for 1-2 minutes as the onions begin to soften.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Then, with a spoon, scoop out the meat and onions, placing them into the bottom of your Crockpot. Leave all the little bits for deglazing.
7. Return the pan to the heat. Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the red wine and using a wooden spoon to gently scrape the brown bits off the bottom. Turn off heat.
8. Add the seasonings, and tomato past to the meat in the crock pot. Pour the red wine into the Crock Pot over the meat. Add broth, pickle juice and chopped vegetables to the crock pot. Stir all ingredients to combine.
9. Place the lid on your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the meat is tender and the veggies are cooked through. Remove bay leaf before serving. |
