Time 7h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, sliced
Kosher salt
1 sprig rosemary
1 3-inch piece parmesan rind, plus shredded parmesan for topping
1 pound beef chuck roast
Freshly ground pepper

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Whisk the tomatoes, wine, tomato paste, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the rosemary and parmesan rind. Season the beef all over with salt and pepper and add to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until the meat is very tender, 7 hours. Shred the meat in the slow cooker with two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat. Discard the rosemary sprig and parmesan rind.

Divide among bowls and drizzle with the olive oil; top with shredded parmesan and the remaining parsley.
