Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker and pour in beef stock and red wine to cover halfway.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours until fork-tender.
Remove beef, cover with foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Pour liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Mix cornflour with water to make a slurry, add to liquid to thicken.
