Balsamic Beans with Beef

1 pound stew beef
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon minced garlic (about 6 small cloves)**
3 cans (15 oz.) canellini beans, rinsed and drained*
1 can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning

1. Heat olive oil over medium high heat and brown meat. Transfer browned meat to the crock pot. 2. Add remaining ingredients and stir (remember to drain and rinse beans, but don’t drain tomatoes!). Cook on high 4 hours or on low 8 hours. Yields 4-6 servings.
