French Dip-wich

2.5lb Beef Roast, Salt and Peppered. Allow to sit about 20 minutes.
Premix Broth: 2c Beef Broth, 1 Garlic Clove (Minced), 1T Minced Dried Onions, 1tsp Dried Rosemary, 1tsp Dried Thyme, 4T Worcestershire.
Spray Instant Pot with Butter Flavor Cooking Spray. Add Premixed Broth and place in Roast. Pressure cook on high for 45 minutes. (It’s okay if it’s not done. We are simmering it next.)
Remove Meat from Juice, RESERVING the Broth Juice. Cut up Meat. Set aside. Add a drizzle of Olive Oil to skillet. Heat skillet, add 1T Tomato Paste and fry Paste up. Add in Meat and mix around with Paste. Add in 1 Au Jus Packet and mix around. Then, add in 2c Reserved Broth Juice (Use water to reach 2c, if not enough. *See Notes). Bring to boil, then, simmer for about 5-10 minutes. Optional to Melt Provolone on top. Serve on Buns. Dip in excess Juices.

—
Freezer friendly: Allow to cool some. Freeze. Add to Crock to heat up.

I was making this as a freezer meal for later time eatings. In making the above recipe, it gave me about 3c of Broth Juice reserved from the instant pot. So, I had about 1c Reserved Broth Juice left, outside from the 2c I needed for the French Dip recipe. Instead of tossing it, I used that leftover juice and cooked some Green Beans, from the garden, and Pork Steaks. Just added all to the skillet, and cooked down juices. It was delish.

NOTES: If a more tamed flavor is desired, use desired ratio of Reserved Broth Juice, with Water. Just simmer a lil longer when you mix with Paste and Au Jus. Example: Instead of 2c Reserved Broth Juices, use 1 1/2c Reserved Broth Juice with 1/2c Water.

  – Tay’s Irish Lamb Stew – The Pot O Gold at the End of the Rainbow
Little Bo Peep has Lost her Sheep… And, now we know why…!


Lamb’s an excellent source of: Protein, Vitamin B12, Niacin, Zinc, and Selenium. A good source of Iron and Riboflavin. Lamb has over 5.5x more omega 3 than Tilapia. 40% of the fat in lean Lamb is monounsaturated fat, which improves Blood Cholesterol Levels and decreases your Risk of Heart Disease.

Large Cut of Lamb
– (Salt, Pepper, 1T Flour, 2T Oil for frying)
3T Real Bacon Pieces
3.5c Water
3c Beef Broth Cubes, crushed
1T Worcestershire
1 Pkt. McCormick’s Garlic Peppercorn Marinade/Season *SEE NOTES
1/2 6oz. can Tomato Paste
2c Fresh Mushrooms, halved
2 med./lrg. Potatoes
2c Fresh Onions
2c Fresh Carrots
1c Fresh Celery
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1tsp Dried Thyme
1/2tsp Dried Marjoram
1/4tsp Dried Rosemary
1/2tsp Dried Oregano
1/4tsp Caraway Seeds
1/4tsp Onion Powder
1/2c Frozen Peas (Optional. Added last hour)
1/2c Rice (Not Instant. Added last hour.)

LIGHTLY sprinkle Lamb, all over, with Sea Salt and Pepper. Use about 1T of All-Purpose Flour to sprinkle/rub ALL around Lamb. Heat Oil, to sizzle, in skillet. Cook each side of Lamb for about 2-3minutes. Add Lamb to Butter Flavor Cooking Sprayed crock. Add rest of ingredients, adding Frozen Peas last hour. Cook on Low 8-10 hours. Serve with Croissants. Over Mashed Potatoes. Over Noodles. Over/Under Au Gratins or Scalloped Potatoes. However you’d like.
NOTES: Optional to use McCormick’s Garlic/Peppercorn Pkt. If skipping, cut back Water TO 3c.

 – Serve with Beer and Cheddar Biscuits

Make biscuits (Boxed kind, I used Bisquick) accordingly, use Beer instead of Water/Milk. For 2c of Bisquick. Add 1/2tsp Garlic Powder. And, 1/2tsp Butter Seasoning. Mix in a handful, or so, of minced up Cheddar Cheese. Add in Beer. Bake accordingly. Or, deep fry in Oil. Brush melted Butter on and sprinkle with Garlic Powder. Serve.

For Easter or Christmas, we do the NON BEER Version: 
We added 2T of Tay’s Garlic Toast Seasoning. 1T, or so, minced Green Onions. We use half Milk and half Sour Cream instead of the Water that the Bisquick calls for.
