Directions

Saute the onion, bell peppers, and garlic in oil in a large heavy pot over medium-low heat until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the meat, increase heat to medium-high; brown each side about 4 minutes.
Reduce heat. Add the tomato sauce, wine, bay leaves, and spices. Cover and simmer gently for 1 hour. Remove from heat.
Shred the beef with two forks. Return the meat to the sauce. Simmer, uncovered, 20 to 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Serve over rice and garnish with pimentos if desired.
