Braised Beef with Onion Mushroom Gravy |
Simple and delicious. A quick way to pot roast.
Eye of round was on sale at my store last week. Catch was, you had to buy a whole eye of round. But who can pass up Angus beef no less, at $1.99 per pound? I sure can’t.
Anyway, I cut off a nice hunk for a roast and froze that, then cut off some thicker steak portions. I was then left with a “mini roast,” which I froze just like that because I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do with it.
I decided to use that mini roast I’d frozen in this. I cut it into thinner steaks, so mine didn’t require that much pounding down to thin it out. All I did really was tenderize it. You don’t have to bother with this if you buy cube steaks to make this.
Also took advantage of the amount of mushrooms I had on hand thanks to another sale, and of course, my fresh herbs!!
This is a quick way to pot roast. On the table in 30 minutes as opposed to 2+ hours.
