Notes
- You can cook on low or on high, or use a combination of both. You will know the stew is done when the meat is fork tender.
- Feel free to add extra vegetables like onions, shallots, and diced tomatoes to the stew
- Serve with fresh cracked black pepper, fresh herbs, and grated parmesan cheese
- If you cannot or do not want to use red wine, use 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar and an extra 1/2 cup of beef broth when combining the liquid ingredients.
