"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
2 lbs flank steak
1 onion, sliced into thin strips
1 bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
5 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and mashed with the side of a knife
1 c. red wine
2 tsp salt
2 tsp. ground pepper
1 small can tomato paste (I think it was 6 or 8 oz)
1 small can tomato sauce (I think it was 8 or 10oz)
1 tsp. oregano
Directions:
Directions:
In a crockpot, place flank steak, onions, peppers, garlic, red wine, salt and pepper in that order. Do not stir because it will be easier to remove your peppers and onions later if you don't. Add enough water to just cover the meat, then cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat falls apart easily with a fork.

Remove meat from crockpot and shred. With a slotted spoon, place peppers, onions and garlic in a skillet heated with olive oil. Saute veggies for 2 minutes, then add tomato sauce, paste and oregano. Stir until combined, then add beef broth. Combine, then add shredded meat. Stir, then simmer on low until warm or until ready to serve.

Serve on a tortilla or on rice.
