Nothing says Sunday dinner like a nice hunk of roast beef, right? Some good gravy, roasted or mashed potatoes, maybe some green beans, asparagus, carrots or rutabaga…these, however will only be bit players. It’s all about the meat. Now, doesn’t that just scream “Sunday dinner, call the kids”? Continue reading

Salisbury Steak is just a lovely way of saying that we’re looking at a thick hamburger “steak” with gravy. And I’m all over that. I hate those thick burgers, that in order to eat them you have to unhinge your jaw, like a python. I always eat those types of burgers with a knife and fork anyway, so why not add some terrific gravy? Continue reading

Last year I shared my recipe for one of The Spicy Honey’s favorite dish, Boliche, the Cuban version of pot roast, with cubes of good things stuffed in the middle of it. This isn’t that. Boliche is wonderfully tasty; it is using the eye of the round. But, I have a chuck roast. So why, The Goddess asked herself, not make pot roast, using the same ingredients, just not stuffed into the hunk of meat? Continue reading

For us, pot roast is winter. It offers such a bang-for-your-buck flavor-wise, with its warm, rich flavor, its rib-sticking meatiness and it’s just so simple to prepare.
