Last night we tried out the Braised Beef recipe and it was a success. Mine turned out a little different look than my mom’s but I think it is mostly because I didn’t use tomato paste. We aren’t a huge fan of tomato-ey sauces so I just put a few tablespoons of tomato sauce in to give a little flavor. I also eliminated the mushrooms but added a bit more carrots and onions. I thought I got stew meat at the store but when I was opening the package I noticed it was stir-fry beef which I figured was just fine. It was in thin strips so it cooked up nicely and was very tender. I made this meal in the Crockpot and it probably only took about 4-5 hrs on high. We ate it over rice and it was delicious. I mostly spooned out the chunky parts (carrots,onions, meat, etc) onto my rice with little sauce but Sean preferred to eat it in a bowl with lots more sauce. The flavor reminded me of Beef Stew!
Summer enjoyed the rice…but thought the meat was too “picy” (spicy). No wonder there is always so much rice on the floor when she gets done eating…
