Categories: Crockpot
Ingredients
- 1-3 lb. beef chuck roast
- 1 jar whole roasted red peppers
- 1 can artichoke hearts, drained
- 1 large onion, peeled and quartered
- 28 ounces beef stock
- 1 T. parsley
- 3-4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1/2 C. wine
- 1 T. flour
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 12 oz. egg noodles, cooked according to directions
Directions
-
Place chuck roast in a large crockpot. Pour on the roasted red peppers and the drained artichoke hearts. Add onions, garlic cloves and beef broth. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
-
Remove the meat and veggies from the pot; cover with foil and set in 275°oven to keep warm.
-
Pour the cooking broth into a sauce pan and let it cool in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Carefully skim off the solidified fat from the top of the liquid and discard. Mix flour with 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and set aside.
-
Add wine to the cooking liquid then bring it to a boil over high heat. Boil the liquid for several minutes, until it reduces by at least half. Whisk in a tablespoon or so of the flour paste. Check thickness: if it’s too liquid, continue to boil for another minute or two. If it’s too thick, add some more broth or water. You want to wind up with a rich, thick liquid/gravy. Adjust seasoning.
-
Put meat and vegetables back in gravy and mix well. Serve over noodles.
