Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 1/2 lbs lean boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with peppers and onions, undrained
1 (8 ounce) can green beans or 6 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and broken into pieces
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice (or cumin)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1

Brown half the beef in 2 teaspoons olive oil, and repeat with remaining beef and more oil.
2

Throw beef and the remaining ingredients into crock pot on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. My sister didn't have allspice when she made it, so she used cumin, which is fab!
