As you all may recall, I had a total roast beef melt down on Monday when I burned the roast. An act of cooking, which is totally unlike me! I shocked myself with the badness of that meal! Hubby suggested that I just chop up the meat and slowly feed it to the dogs over the course of the week, but I just couldn’t do that. I thought and I thought and here is what I did:
- First I chopped up a large onion, and three cloves of garlic.
- Then I chopped up some celery, and mushrooms.
- I grabbed a bag of baby carrots.
- Peeled and diced 2 medium potatoes.
- After I sauteed all this for a bit, I added 3 cans of low sodium beef broth.
- 1/2 cup of burgundy wine.
- 1/4 cup ketchup.
- 1 tsp Sea Salt & 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp Basil
- I carefully cut up the meat into bite sized cubes.
- When the broth was just simmering on the stove, I tossed in the beef, and covered my dutch oven pot.
- I placed it into a preheated 250 degree (f) oven.
- Then I walked away and let it slowly cook for 5 hours. I thickened the gravy with a little Wondra Flour. Done!
I can only tell you that I was not at all sure how this would come out. Thankfully, it came out very, very well!
For 5 hours ??? was there anything left, lol ?
Looks yummy anyway.
LOL, Gattina read my thoughts! this is what Mr Mar plans to do with the meat he grilled yesterday…it wasn’t was he was expecting.
I was like Gattina. 5 hours??!! That must have been some tender stew. Sounds very delicious!
Making lemonade out of lemons! I bet it really WAS delish! :-)s
Looks yummy! Love YOU, Mel
I’m making veg soup tonite and my recipe is very similar to what you did with your leftovers. Sounds great to me…glad you were able to salvage the roast!
well done, my friend!
