- Turn the slow cooker to 'low'. In a fry pan brown the beef joint all over in a little oil until there is some good brown colour. Remove and put in the slow cooker.
- In the same fry pan cook the onion and garlic until translucent. You may need to add a little more oil. Transfer to the slow cooker.
- Add to the slow cooker the salt, pepper, passata, herbs and red wine. Carefully stir well. Place on the lid and cook until tender and sauce reduced, 6 to 7 hours.
- Remove the beef and slice into thickish cuts (depending on the joint used and time cooked this will either cut in whole slices or slightly fall apart) - either way this is delicious. Plate up and spoon sauce over.
Tip
If you don't want to use a slow cooker - cook in a moderately low oven for 3 to 4 hours in a cast iron casserole dish with the lid on. Check and stir occasionally.
