Directions

- In the slow cooker, combine the carrot, onion, celery and pickle. Place the meat on top of vegetables. In a small bowl combine the 1/2 cup red wine, the mustard, pepper, cloves and bay leaves. Pour over meat and vegetables in cooker.
- Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meat and vegetables from the cooker and place on a serving platter; cover with foil to keep warm.
- For gravy: Transfer cooking liquid to a 2-quart saucepan. Skim fat from cooking liquid and discard bay leaves. In a small bowl, stir together flour and the 2 tablespoons wine. Stir into the mixture in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Serve meat, vegetables and gravy with noodles. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.
