Lunch smeat.

[rootofnewt]

I have discovered that some cuts of beef are considerably cheaper for making roast beef for my lunchmeat. It's worked out well for me. Today I have a boneless bottom round roast in the crockpot with onions, dried roasted garlic, leftover mulled red wine (deglazed the pan I seared the meat in), and a bit of condensed beef stock (to help enhance the broth).

It smells delightful. We'll see how it is with the wine spices.

I've used hard pear cider, apple cider, wine, crappy GF beer, and kagome juice blends (peach carrot, beet & berry). They've all turned out reasonably well, though the juice one was kinda odd. Sometimes I have fun with fresh herbs and veggies, sometimes not. Today's is simple.

oh you have fantastic timing! i've got a bottom round roast defrosting in my fridge right now. i was going to cook it in the slow cooker tomorrow. but as i didn't have much of a recipe i was just going to wing it. now i have a little roast guide to experiment with - thanks!

Ha, funny. I'd have bought a roast today, but they were on sale and the bin was empty.

The fruit juices would probably go better with a pork roast.

One of the few things I do well is a pork loin in a crock pot with apple juice. I can dig up the recipe if you'd like.
