1. Make sure you dry the meat with a paper towel. Season with Salt and Pepper.
2. Heat up a large pot to medium high, add olive oil, once starts to smoke a little place the beef and let it cook without moving for 3 minutes to create a nice crust and seal the juices. While that is happening, place the rest of the ingredients (Except the wine) in a blender or food processor. Move the beef to make sure you sealed the beef all around. Once the beef has been browned, add the mixture to the pot and the entire bottle of wine. At this point re-season to make sure you have enough salt to your own taste.
3. Bring to a boil. Once it boils, take of the stove and place (covered) in a 350 oven for 2 hours.
4. Serve with your favorite starch.
