Easy crock pot beef stew and a Broken Earth Cab

Crock Pot Beef Stew

Pan sear 1 lb Wegmans organic grass fed stew meat with olive oil and Wegman's pan searing flour

Combine the cooked meat with the following ingredients in your crock pot:

1 1/2 cups low sodium beef stock
3oz low sodium tomato paste
1 pkg of petite baby bella mushrooms - sliced thin
baby Yukon gold potatoes - quarter and quarter again ( I just used a small bag)
1/8 tsp all-spice
1/4 tsp each - dried oregano, basil, thyme
half  of an onion, sliced
2 tbsp butter
1 bay leaf
black peppercorns

Cook on low for 8 hours
Add in frozen green beans during the last hour

 in the crockpot
 
 in a bowl with rustic bread

 
I paired the stew with the 2010 Broken Earth Cabernet from Paso Robles, California.
Vanilla, spice and dark cherry along with cocoa


 
 
I don't really have much to say about this wine. It was good. Very good. Sometimes you don't need to analyze the wine. Sometimes you just need to drink it, enjoy it and eat chocolate cake.
