Beef Stirfry
(You'll love this one!)
Two for the price of one:
FIRST DAY:
First, start off with a 3-4# beef chuck roast.
Place it in the CrockPot
Make a sauce of:
1 can tomato paste
1 can diced green chillies, not drained
1 can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 c. Burgandy
Pour sauce over the chuck roast.
Slice a clove of garlic into the Crockpot
Cut an onion into 3 big chunks and lay on top of the roast.
Sprinkle a little sea salt onto the roast.
Cover and slow cook on low for approximately 10 hours.
Serve roast with buttered green beans (or some other non-starchy, low-sugar vegetable).
(My theory is, if you're going to have sugar, save it for something worthy, like Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate)

And make sure to save plenty of leftovers for later so you can make the following stirfry recipe. And don't throw out the sauce. You'll need it in the recipe.
SECOND (or third) DAY:
Beef Stirfry
Beef Stirfry
In a large skillet, saute celery, onion, red sweet peppers, green peppers, poblano peppers in olive oil. The amount varies according to taste, but I like lots of vegetables with the beef. Lots!
When the veggies are semi-tender, slice up the remaining beef and toss with the vegetables, stir-frying it all.
Break one dried cayenne pepper into tiny pieces over the stirfry. Toss.
Pour remaining sauce (from last night, remember?) over the stirfry and toss again to heat everything thoroughly.
Serve with or without cooked basmati rice.
If you can't get along without the rice, try using a bit of rice sprinkled on top of the stirfry, rather than placing the stirfry on a big bed of rice. You won't miss it, I promise.
This stuff is delicious!
GIVEAWAY:
Just for fun, since I have dried cayenne from my garden, I'm going to put the names of all the 'commenters' of this post into a hat and on Friday at 8PM I'm going to have The Chef pull one name from the hat. If you're the winner, I'll mail you 15 dried cayenne peppers. And if they arrive crushed (which I'll try to avoid), then just consider that it saved you the trouble of crushing them for a recipe.
This is open to everyone*. I'll announce the winner on Saturday morning, February 8.
BTW, we're using cayenne in so many recipes these days. Love the stuff!
*If, however, I have trouble with customs, then the cayenne will go to the next U.S. name pulled out of the hat.

Sounds and looks delicious! Funny, I never used to cook a roast in the crock pot and would never even consider it. I tried it awhile ago and love the way it turned out! Dare I say, I may never go back to the oven again for a roast.
I love two day recipes like this... and they both sound delicious!!
And of course, what a great giveaway.. those homegrown cayenne peppers will be better than anything we can get in a store :)
Just saying hello and that I, too, enjoy Ritter Sport, though am not a fan of dark chocolate, though I have heard of its benefits.
Dried Chiles!! I make a roast all the time but never used dried chiles on it!! Great Idea!!
Pinning!!

I love this recipe, because we love all kinds of chili peppers; it is also a few different meals made from one roast.
When my spouse gets back I'm going to try it. (My daughter and I can't make a dent in anything.) The stir fry also looks like it would be good in a tortilla.
HI Judy well this food looks delicious and sure is making me hungry! Will have to go and make dinner now!!!
Judy, this recipe sounds delicious! We love cayenne pepper. I have some in a shaker and use it more than regular pepper. Good luck to whomever wins the drawing!!
Yum, yum...I might have to forego my usual carne asada to try these out!
This looks delicious!
Do not put my name in for the giveaway but
i am pinning the recipe. it looks so good!
You can just stop by with those peppers. ;-)
