Braised Beef in Red Wine Sauce image

Rather like a daube - but this is an Italian-style pot roast. It takes rather a long while to cook, but it can be made ahead and reheated. It is great served with pan-fried polenta to dip into the tasty sauce and sautéed spinach alongside.

I love how easy this recipe is to make. I just browned the beef and then threw everything in the slow cooker. Dinner was ready when I got home from work!
