Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oil in a 12 inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onions and bell peppers and cook, covered, until softened and spotty brown, 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Push vegetables to sides of skillet. Add tomato paste, garlic, cumin, oregano and 1/2 tsp salt to center and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir vegetables into tomato paste mixture. Add wine and cook until nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Transfer vegetable mixture, soy sauce, and bay leaves to slow cooker. Season steak with salt and pepper and nestle into vegetable mixture. Cover and cook until meat is very tender, 6-7 hours on low or 5-6 hours on high.
3. Transfer steak to cutting board. Discard bay leaves. Using 2 forks, shred steak into bite-size pieces, then return it to the slow cooker. Stir in olives and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
