Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

  5. In a medium bowl, mix beef broth, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and oregano. Pour this mixture over the steak.
Cooking
  1. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for about 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easy to shred.
  2. Once cooked, remove the steak from the cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serving
  1. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or a green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.

Notes

For best results, marinate the steak overnight with spices. Check the meat after 6 hours for tenderness. Pair the dish with hearty red wine or insulated iced tea.
