COMFORT FOOD

On a previous post, I comment how growing up meat was a very rare commodity and mom always tried to give us the best. One of my favorite dishes and now one of my wife's favorite as well. Give this recipe a try on a lousy weather day and enjoy!!!

CHUCK STEAK WITH ROASTED POTATOES AND CARROTS

3 to 4 pound chuck steak
1 large onion large cut
4 to 6 large raw carrots peeled and rough cut
4 peeled potatoes peeled and cut in half
1 tsp chopped garlic
beef stock

Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan and brown both sides of the chuck steak. Remove chuck steak and place in a 2"deep baking pan. Add onions, garlic and carrots to frying pan and cook until onions have a slight transparency to them. Add potatoes to the chuck steak in the pan placing them cut side down. Add the onions, carrots and garlic to the roasting pan. Deglaze the frying pan with bef stock. Add beef stock to the baking pan, covering the chuck steak. Cover pan with foil and bake in a 400 degree oven (F) f.or 1and 1/2 to 2 hours until meat is tender. Check the chuck steak for tenderness after 1 1/2 hours and if necessary add a bit more beef stock.
Continue cooking until most of the liquid is absorbed. This can be facilitated by removing the foil and allowing the cooking to continue.
SERVE and ENJOY!
