Lee, I used the $4.88/lb cut that was on sale. Darned if I remember what it was called, but it was some kind of square cut moo-cow meat. LOLCongrats on your first gumbo, Shermie! Looks great!
Joe, what cut of beef did you use and how did you cook it? Looks wonderful!

Wow, what beautiful pizzas, Barb!
How EVER did you get the dough so round??? Mine always turn out *ahem* rustically-shaped.

Here it is! My very first Gumbo. Just finished it!

I seasoned the roast with salt, fresh cracked pepper, granulated garlic & granulated onion, then pan seared it in some olive oil on all sides. I put it in the crock pot on a bed of carrots, celery & onion, then deglazed the pan with about 1/2C of Merlot. When that was reduced I mixed in 16oz of beef broth and poured it all over the meat. I cooked the meat on low for 5 hours then removed it to cool on a cutting board. It was 175F at that point. We turned the drippings into gravy with some dilluted flour & water. I cut up the roast and put it on the serving dish, topped with about 1/3 of the gravy, covered with foil and put in the oven on 175F for about 2-1/2 hrs until it was dinner time.
I forgot that DW made Broccoli-slaw as well (it was hiding in the fridge).
Day three and the last of the roast beef. Boy, was that a good roast. I decided to add Hasselback potatoes, then topped them with sour cream. After three days of beef, we're looking forward to Pasta Primavera tomorrow.
Sounds like a bottom round roast, Joe. My mom used to make them the best but in the oven (before crockpots lol). I'll have to try that cut sometime soon.
Saturday I made a Patty Melt and added mushrooms. Sunday I made a couple seafood pizzas similar to what Red Lobster used to serve.
Looks tasty, Sher. Haven't had gumbo since Lassie was a pup.
Celebrating daughter #2's 33rd. birthday today, but not eating for awhile as daughter #1 is waiting for grandson to wake up from his nap before they begin their 40 minute commute. I figured I'd post what's done, because it will be a circus when they get here, and the quality of the food will probably go downhill.
The square cut roast came out fork tender, and the red wine reduction gravy is delicious. I added some parsley & Parmesan cheese to the smashed taters...mmmmmm! The veggies will steam up pretty quick once the kids get here, and we'll be ready to tie on the feed bag. Mama made German chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for dessert, at the request of the birthday girl.
I LOVE PORK ROAST! If the leftovers aren't claimed, I'll take them.My supper looks sick compared to everyone elses but it was very good,
Pork Roast with Potatoes and Carrots and a little gravy poured over all.
