Chuck Roast

There's so many different meals you can make with roast leftovers.

When all the kids were home still, I would make a roast every Sunday for lunch. With four kids, it was incredibly filling, easy to prep and I knew we would have leftovers for the next few days.

Ingredients:

• 2-3 pound Douch Creek Cattle Co. beef chuck roast or rump roast, trimmed of excess fat

• 3 cups beef broth

• ¼ cup worcestershire sauce

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 yellow onions, quartered and thinly sliced

• 3 cloves of garlic, minced

• 1 bay leaf

• salt/pepper

Instructions:

1. Liberally salt and pepper your roast.

2. In a large glass measuring cup, combine the beef broth and worcestershire sauce and set aside.

3. In a large cast iron skillet, dutch oven or in your Instant Pot in sauté mode, heat oil on medium-high heat, add the meat and sear on all sides until each side has a nice brown crust formed. Transfer meat into your slow cooker (if using) OR remove the meat from your Instant Pot and continue.

4. Reduce the heat to medium, and in the same pot you browned the meat in, add the sliced onions and cook for 5 minutes, adding more oil if necessary. Add the chopped garlic and cook for an additional minute or two. Pour a couple tablespoons of the beef broth mixture into the pot with the onions and using a wooden spoon, scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan (this will add lots of flavor).

5. Transfer the onion mixture and all accumulated juices into the slow cooker (with the meat) and add in the remaining broth and the bay leaf. Cook in your oven or slow cooker on high (350 F) for 3-4 hours or low (275 F) for 5-6 hours, until the meat is very tender. Remove the meat to a cutting board and thinly slice it (against the grain) or shred it, set aside.

6. Serve with mashed potatoes, veggies, or use it for sandwich meat - french dips, roast beef sandwiches, add some bbq for a pulled beef sandwich. The options are endless.
