Beef Daube Provencal


Now if you do not call this recipe perfect fall comfort food then I don't know what your description of comfort food is. I prepared this with my crock pot. I will use any excuse to use my crock pot really. My house started to smell great and I couldn't want to eat dinner, even when it was 4 hours away. The wine gave the beef such a full rich flavor, and paired beautifully with the fresh herbs.

I may not be able to pronounce the name of this recipe, but I will gladly eat it everyday. :)
