Doggorloader Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 3" plus today and going down to 14 degrees tonite. The dinner tonite is going to be "Comforting Shredded Beef" 2 Tbs Butter 3 Tbs Olive Oil 1 Bottom Round Roast (4 lbs) Salt and Fresh ground Pepper 1/2 cup Cognac 2 cups Beef Broth 3 cups Chianti or other full bodied Red Wine Heat the butter and oil in a dutch oven over medium high. Salt and pepper the roast real well and then brown the beef 2 minutes on each side including the ends. Pour the Cognac, broth, and wine into the pan and cover and simmer for 3 hours. Remove the meat and let it cool so you shred it down into whatever size pieces you like. It should fall apart quite easily if it's done. Return it to the liquid in the pan and reheat. Serve it on toast points, as is, or it makes a great cheese steak sandwich. I got some wonderful fresh horseradish root yesterday at the store and ground up with some vinegar.................. mmmmmm Like the song says: let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Skywalker Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 And here I thought that Cognac and Chianti were there to keep you happy while the meat roasted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 And here I thought that Cognac and Chianti were there to keep you happy while the meat roasted...

blackdragon Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Dude, Put a mirapox in with the beef. It will add a lot of flavor! Also a little garlic ( Fresh Of Course! ) Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggorloader Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 Dude, Put a mirapox in with the beef. It will add a lot of flavor! Also a little garlic ( Fresh Of Course! ) Ivan Ivan: Your missing the point. It's not pot roast it's CSB. I've given this recipe to many people and they've said the same. "Put garlic in it", "that's all there is to it?" and whatever. Try it the way it is before you go messing it up. Sometimes you don't have to overpower something to make it good. It's very pleasing the way it is and that's where it's supposed to be. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
