Slow cooking meat in sauce that is prepared on the stovetop is an easy way to ensure that the finished dish will be infused with lots of flavor and has just the right consistency. You'll be able to do the prep in the morning, then let it cook away while you're out and about or at work, and it'll be ready for you when you get home. Here, the steak, yellow potatoes, and onions are slow-cooked with red wine, chicken broth, orange juice, paprika, and cumin in a combination that you'll find difficult to resist. After it's finished, heat up some pimiento-stuffed olives in the sauce for the final touch.
