Beef Roast in Red Wine

Name: Beef Roast in Red Wine
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 8 h
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 1 small onion, very thinly sliced; 3 1/2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 4 large cloves garlic, very thinly sliced; 2 cups dry red wine; 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained; 1 cup beef broth; 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce; 1 tablespoon dried rosemary; 1 tablespoon dried oregano; 1 tablespoon dried basil; 2 teaspoons dried thyme; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 3 tablespoons tomato paste (optional)

"A slow cooker recipe that turns the most economical roast of beef into a tender, succulent, delicious meal. The wine really enhances the flavor of the meat, and non-alcoholic wine can also be used to great success for those who prefer it. Coming home to the aroma of this slow-cooked beef will put you in mind of stepping into a nice Italian restaurant. Very comforting and inviting. Serve over rice or egg noodles."
