  1. Delicious and a new favorite for us!!! I must state that I did cook it differently (using a grill/charcoal) and since we were serving the roast beef with mashed potatoes and fresh corn on the cob, we opted to omit the chili powder(didn't want it to taste like chili or meat for Mexican dishes). I rubbed about 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the outside of the roast and then sprinkled on the sea salt, pepper and and garlic powder. We then seared the roast on the grill on all sides and then put it in a foil pan, atop of sliced onions along with the beef broth. Once the roast was cooked, I took it all inside and removed the roast, then added the wine and cooked it down for a bit. I then used flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder and water instead of the cornstarch, just a personal preference. Thanks for sharing your recipes. Made for Spring PAC 2014.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Cooking is my 2nd favorite pasttime. Golf is the first. I enjoy cooking (and eating) all types of foods. I especially like when my grandkids have a few requests even before they visit. I've been a retired mailcarrier for almost 15 years,moved south and I love it. I like almost all the recipes I've seen on Recipezaar and especially the ones from Kittencal. I've used this site for quite a while now and decided its time for a premium membership...my cookbook is too full.
