Beef Something

This is a little something I concocted one evening.

It was almost lost to the world.

I made it up but neglected to write down even notes

as to what I had done so as to even *think* about

making it again. 

That was about a month ago and then the other night

something was tickling the back of my mind, 

wasn't there some beef thing that

I cooked with carrots and onions

and then blended the veg and juices to make a gravy

that I then put the shredded meat back into and

served over stuffing

but later tried the leftovers over mashed potatoes

and that was better.

Didn't I make something like that?

And where did that recipe come from?

Giada?

Nope.

Rachel?

Nope. 

Paula?

Nope.

Turns out it was inspired by something I saw on

Diner, Drive Ins and Dives.

It all comes back to me.

It was a chuck roast that I browned off

in a dutch oven

then browned carrots and onions

in the drippings, 

put the meat back in with some garlic and

a couple cups of beef broth. 

I put it in a 300 degree oven for 3-4 hours.

I took the meat out and used an immersion

blender to puree the veges and liquid

to make a great gravy and then returned

the shredded meat to the pot.

I served it over a few different things

but the best was white mashed potatoes

with a sprinkling of peas over top. 

Yea!

Now it's written down. 

Maybe I can make it again. 

Without as much strife.

Oh, but I should probably name it.
