Sept. 5, 2004: After browning in butter & oil, I placed beef (round roast, as directed) in a crockpot w/ the brandy, beef stock & all the wine & let cook 8 hrs on low. Then shredded, seasoned & served on toasted sandwich rolls. It was great! UPDATE, Jan. 3, 2005: I now usually add 2-4 cloves garlic, minced, & 2 T fresh parsley, chopped, to the pot. I continue to enjoy this easy, flavorful dish (even though I use cheap brandy!).
