Serves 6

Ingredients

Qty Unit Ingredient
1 lb Roast - round, cut into 1 inch chunks
3 Leeks, trimmed to white and light green parts, cleaned, halved, lengthwise and sliced
2 Tsp Italian seasoning
2/3 Tb Salt
6 Garlic cloves, minced
1 Can Tomatoes - 28 oz diced with juice
1 C Red wine - dry
1 Tsp Olive Oil
1 lb Portobello mushroom caps, cleaned and sliced
1/2 C Olives - mixed marinated, pitted
3 Tb Basil - fresh chopped
1 Tsp Orange zest, chopped


Instructions

In a 6 quart crockpot, add beef, leeks, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and all but 1 teaspoon garlic. Add tomatoes and wine; mix well. Cover, cooking for 8 to 10 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high. About 20 minutes before the cooking time is up, add oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add mushrooms, reserved garlic, and reserved salt. Cook, stirring occasionally until mushrooms brown and any liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir mushroom mixture and olives into the crockpot, cooking until mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Combine basil and zest in a bowl. Sprinkle over each serving.
