crock pot changed my life, man. just saying:
1.5 pounds beef chuck roast
2 onions
2 carrots
1 celery rib
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
spoonful of tomato paste
1/2 cup water
splash of white wine
oregano
salt
pepper
chop the shit out of the onions (tiny pieces) and saute them for a while, until they're getting soft. chop the shit out of the carrots and celery (tiny pieces) and add them to the onions. stir 'em around, cook 'em for a few minutes. add oregano, salt, pepper, canned tomatoes, and white wine. cook for like 30 seconds, then throw into the crock pot. cut the chuck roast into four pieces and bury them in the onion mixture. set crock pot to high, then leave it alone for 6-8 hours. when it's done, shred the beef with a pair of forks and it is DELICIOUS. i eat it with pasta but if you're low-carbing you could just add some parmesan cheese (or not) and go to town.
if you do the pre-crock-pot steps in a pasta pot, then you can add the beef and just stick it in the oven on 400 for like 3-4 hours. uncovered. it's done when you can pull the beef apart with forks.
