Add the carrot, celery, onion and saute until the onion is golden for about 5 minutes.
Take the vegetables to the slow cooker.
Return the pot to medium-high heat, add the remaining olive oil and the beef cubes.
Cook with stirring until the beef has browned.
In the meantime, crush the canned tomatoes with a fork or pulse in a food processor until smooth.
