Spicy Wine Pot Roast

As I mentioned in another post, a lot of great chefs cook with wine and sometimes even beer (as in  this beer braised beef  recipe). The recipe here is made with red wine and it creates an incredible taste treat.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 To 4 Lb. beef pot roast


• 1 Small onion (chopped)


• 1 Pkg. brown gravy mix (3/4 oz.)


• 1 Cup water


• 1/4 Cup ketchup


• 1/4 Cup dry red wine


• 2 Tsp. Dijon mustard


• 1 Tsp. Worcestershire sauce


• Salt and pepper to taste


• 1/8 Tsp. garlic powder (DO NOT USE GARLIC SALT!)

Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper and place in crock pot. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over meat. Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours. Remove meat and slice.

If desired, thicken sauce with 2 Tbsp. of corn starch dissolved in a small amount of water, and serve over meat.
