Tender beef slow-cooked in a savory tomato broth with onions and mushrooms - a mouthwatering twist on classic veal cacciatore.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast
  • 3 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 onions, cut into wedges and sliced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup quartered fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cup dry red wine (such as Cabernet or Merlot)
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seed
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm up the olive oil. Add the roast and garlic, then season the roast with salt and pepper. Sear the roast until it's browned on all sides, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Place the roasted meat and garlic in a slow cooker, then combine with onions, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, water, green bell pepper, mushrooms, red wine, sugar, fennel seed, Italian seasoning, and thyme.
