Place meat, seasonings, onion, garlic wine, tomatoes, marinara and half the stock in a slow cooker. Mix in a small measuring glass the flour and the rest of the stock. Stir to make a slurry and pour over the beef. Add bay leaves, oregano and dried parsley. Cook over high heat for 6 hours or until beef chunks are just beginning to break apart but still in chunks.
