Brent used a recipe from Martha Stewart and then did what he always does…makes it his own.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds London Broil, trimmed and cut into large chunks
  • 68 medium shallots, sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup red wine, something like cabernet sauvignon
  • 28 ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed
  • one large bulb fennel, cut into wedges
  • one sprig rosemary
  • one teaspoon orange zest, plus orange wedges for serving
  • one cup castelvetrano olives for serving
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil
  • mashed potatoes for serving

Instructions

  1. Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon olive oil and half of beef, in a single layer; cook, turning a few times until browned on all sides. Working in batches and then transfer to a 5-to-6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Add the sliced shallots and wine to the skillet and cook, scraping up browned bits, until the wine has evaporated. This takes only a couple of minutes. Transfer to slow-cooker.
  3. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices, the fennel, rosemary, and orange zest. Cover and cook on high until meat is fork-tender, about 6-7 hours.
  4. Serve with mashed potatoes and bread.
