dinner

This started out life as trying to be slow cooker beef stew, but sort of ended up more of a free form pot roast. I had never tried it before, I thought it was very good. There was a lot of really yummy , thick gravy still in the crock pot.

You brown your meat - this was two beef shanks and some regular stew beef - add it to the slow cooker with all your veggies, potatoes, carrots, garlic, onion, celery - what ever you like. Then in the same browning pan, toast some tomato paste - a good amount, half a little can. Then add some flour, then wine and beef stock. I added some rosemary and a big slice of orange peel, but its very forgiving - make it your own.

If anyone wants some exacts, just let me know.
