Instructions

  1. Heat oil on high heat in a large dutch oven and season chuck roast pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the beef on all sides until well browned, about 10 minutes then remove from the pot and place the beef into your slow cooker.
  3. Add in the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, dried thyme, fennel seeds, crushed red pepper flakes and stir.
  4. Whisk together the wine, beef broth, tomato paste and balsamic vinegar then pour it gently into the slow cooker.
  5. Add diced tomatoes, parsley and bay leaves, stir to combine and set crock pot to low heat for 8 hours or high heat for 4 hours.
  6. Gently break up two forks and stir well to coat with sauce.
  7. Add pasta to your slow cooker and stir to coat (the pasta will soak up any sauce you think it too runny in just a few minutes).
