Holland House cooking wines are amazing!
I fell in love with my Crock-Pot all over again!

Spoiler alert: This is absolutely delicious after 6-8 hours but it is even better the day after as it reaches all the depths of flavor overnight – not to self, make enough, because it is unlikely you’ll have leftovers!

In case you do, it will keep good for up to a week in the fridge or months in the freezer!

    This looks totally amazing, just got it all together in the crockpot.
    Regarding the “sage” – it isn’t included in the list of ingredients, however, it is listed within the recipe in seasoning the beef.
    The other question…. regarding the beef broth, i assume I am supposed to add the 2nd cup of beef broth to the crockpot once I get everything in it??
    I hope so, that is what I did.
