Baby red potatoes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Because Aysel occasionally pops in here, I thought I’d offer this recipe, which is worth every brief minute of the time it takes to prep it, and the time it takes to cook it to perfection. I love using the Crockpot because it’s fill it, cover it, set it and go do other things. If you have one with a timer (and they do exist), that’s even better. We’ve started having chilly nights already, which is why I looked for this recipe.<\/p>\n

This one uses the slow cooker or Crockpot, and I have used this recipe before. I used baby red potatoes, which are pretty sturdy and suitable for this. Yukon Golds have a good, buttery flavor to them, and russets are – well, as universal a veggie as you can get. It’s all good. I’d add a side dish of cut veggies, cornbread, and for afters, pumpkin pie with real whipped cream.<\/p>\n

2\u00a0tablespoons\u00a0canola oil<\/p>\n

2\u00a0teaspoons\u00a0Kosher salt<\/p>\n

1\u00a0teaspoon\u00a0coarse ground black pepper<\/p>\n

1\u00a0teaspoon\u00a0dried thyme<\/p>\n

1\u00a0pound\u00a0carrots\u00a0peeled and cut into 2″ chunks<\/p>\n

2\u00a0pounds\u00a0Yukon Gold potatoes\u00a0peeled and cut into large chunks<\/p>\n

2\u00a0cloves\u00a0garlic\u00a0minced<\/p>\n

2\u00a0cups\u00a0beef broth<\/a><\/p>\n

2\u00a0tablespoons\u00a0corn starch<\/a><\/p>\n

2\u00a0tablespoons\u00a0cold water<\/p>\n

minced parsley\u00a0optional, to garnish<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Season the chuck roast with the Kosher salt, pepper and thyme (if you are sensitive to sodium, adjust to your taste or you can even leave the salt out altogether since you’re adding broth).<\/p>\n

– Heat your pan (or if you can brown in your slow cooker, do it in that insert to medium high.<\/p>\n

– Add the canola oil and when it ripples and is hot add in the roast and brown, deeply, for\u00a04-5 minutes<\/a> on each side.\u00a0 (N.B.: You can substitute olive oil for canola.)<\/p>\n

– In your slow cooker add the carrots, potatoes and garlic.<\/p>\n

– Lay the beef on top, then add the beef broth and cover, cooking on low for\u00a08-10 hours<\/a>\u00a0or on high for\u00a05-6 hours<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– In the last hour mix your cornstarch and water and add it to the slow cooker to thicken the sauce or you can take the food out when done cooking, and add the leftover liquid to a small saucepan with the cornstarch\/water mixture and cook on high for just\u00a02-3 minutes<\/a>\u00a0until the liquid is thickened into a gravy.<\/p>\n

– Pour the gravy over the meat and garnish with parsley if desired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
