Today for dinner I made Slow-Roasted Beef with Horseradish Cream Sauce and Smashed Potatoes. On my last post I stated that I was going to be making King Arthur Soft Dinner Rolls with this meal, but time permitted me to make them today. Do not fret, I will be making them sometime soon.
As for the Slow-Roasted Beef, it turned out very well. I nice Medium-Rare bottom round roast. Most of the time when preparing a bottom round roast, it turns out very dry and tough. By roasting the beef at a very low temperature it turned out just the opposite, tender and juicy. This recipe was very simple involving just a couple main steps: Brining the meat, searing, and slow roasting. With the beef I prepared Horseradish Cream Sauce, which complimented the meat well. My husband even ate the sauce, and he is not a horseradish fan!
The Smashed Potatoes were a big hit. I had never had potatoes this way before. They had a rich and creamy flavor, with a chunky texture. The red potatoes that were used in this recipe were literally smashed with a wooden spoon and folded into butter-cream cheese mixture.
I would have preferred to include the King Arthur rolls with this meal, but the Slow-Roasted Beef and Smashed Potatoes were satisfying enough by themselves. Besides, we had room for some left-over Peach Pie for dessert!!
I won't be making any meals until Sunday, but I will be making brownies on Friday. So a preview for what's to come:
On the menu for Friday:
Fudgy Low-fat Brownies
On the menu for Sunday (we're doing Chinese)
Potsticker w/ Scallion dipping sauce
Pork Lo Mein
And for dessert:
