  • Alternate Preparation: To make this recipe in a slow cooker, omit the oil, increase the broth to 1 1/4 cups and the flour to 1/4 cup.  Season the beef with the salt and black pepper. Stir 1 cup broth, vinegar and brown sugar in a small bowl.  Place the beef, shallots, garlic, mushrooms, tomatoes and carrots into a 4 1/2-quart slow cooker.  Add the broth mixture and stir to coat.  Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours or on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.  Stir the remaining broth and flour in a small bowl until smooth.  Stir the flour mixture into the cooker.  Cover and cook on HIGH for 10 minutes or until the mixture boils and thickens.  Top with the lemon zest mixture as directed above.
