Whenever I make this recipe, it reminds me of my mother’s cooking. She always added bay leaves to her roasts, which made the house smell heavenly. I adapted her recipe for minute steaks, but it works great on a French roast too! I hope you enjoy this warm and satisfying dish as much as I did as a kid. Now my kids won’t let me make it any other way!

Slow cooker? Can this dish be prepared in a slow cooker?
Chavi doesn’t see why it would be a problem. I would say try five hours and see if the potatoes are soft and make sure the meat isn’t dry.
it seems that there is very little liquid in the recipe.
is the meat and vegetables supposed to be covered in liquid (the water and wine)?
There is not supposed to be a lot of water because you don’t want to boil the steak. If you feel that it all evaporates and you need more you can gradually add more water to the bottom.
