Ingredients

  • 1 boneless beef chuck steak (3/4 inch thick and 3/4 pound)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine or additional beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, brown beef in oil on both sides. Transfer to a 1-1/2-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the broth, tomato sauce, wine, onion, garlic, parsley, rosemary, salt and pepper; pour over beef. Cover and cook on low until meat is tender, about 8 hours.
  2. Remove beef and keep warm. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir in cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Serve with beef.
Test Kitchen tip: Mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli with lemon butter make this a hearty meal for two. Also, leftovers are so tender and tasty, you just might want to double this recipe to serve over noodles or in sandwiches the next day.
