2 c. beef broth
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Directions:
Directions:
Season the meat with salt and pepper and place in the crockpot. Add dry white wine and bay leaves. Add beef broth and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Or low for 6-8 hours.

This next part only takes about 15 minutes:
Remove the cooked meat from crockpot. It should shred easily at this point.
Add the garlic to the cooling meat. Squeeze the lime onto the meat. In a large skillet, sauté the sliced onion, sliced bell pepper and parsley in the olive oil until the onion gets a little limp, but not completely translucent. Add the meat, and the cumin, stir-frying until the meat is hot again and slightly crispy on the edges. Add a bit more salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lime wedges.
