2 cups wine
2 cups beef broth
4 cloves garlic, chopped
3 medium tomatoes, diced
1/3 cup flour
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
cooked rice
  1. Dredge (coat) the roast in flour.  Shake off extra and set aside.
  2. Brown meat in a hot skillet over medium-high heat - about 3 minutes each side.  Remove from pan and put in slow-cooker.
  3. Add chopped onions, carrots, garlic, and celery to the hot skillet and saute' until softened.  Add wine and bring to a boil for 2 -3 minutes.  Pour into your crock pot.
