Okay, looking for an idea or two.
Went to Sam's Club (the nearest Shopko is 120 miles away ) and bought a couple of chuck roasts. I cut one of them up in 1-inch chunks. And it's parked in the refrigerator.
What would YOU do with 3 lbs. of cubed chuck roast?
I'd make
Beef and Mushrooms3 lb cubed chuck roast
1 lb white mushrooms, washed and sliced
1 yellow onion, diced
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 bottle red wine
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
1. Heat oil in a cast iron Dutch oven over medium heat, until a drop of water sizzles.
2. In a Pyrex (glass) mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and Hidden Valley mix. Toss the chunks of meat in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
3. Brown the beef in the Dutch oven. Remove the beef chunks.
4. Add 1 cup of wine to the Dutch oven. Drink the rest of the bottle of wine.
5. Bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the Dutch oven to remove the flour.
6. Add beef chunks, onion, garlic, and mushrooms.
7. Cover and bake for one hour.
8. Serve with crusty bread, cheese, and more wine.
