Method

Step 1 of 3

Step 2 of 3

Add remaining oil to pan and heat, then add onion, carrot, celery and garlic to frying pan. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until softened slightly. Add paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until well combined. Add wine and simmer for 3 minutes or until wine is reduced by half. Transfer mixture to slow cooker. Add canned tomato, stock, thyme and bay leaf, then stir to combine. Cover with lid, then cook on high for 4 hours (or low 8 hours) or until beef is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
