This turned out well. It was very easy to put together (I did it the night before) and I cooked it for about 8 hours. There was something a bit off about the flavor. I am not sure exactly what it was, and unlike Jezski, I don't think it was the wine. I used Gallo Paisano, which is cheap but is what I generally drink. No one else seemed to think it was strange or commented on it, so maybe it was just me. I did think there were too many onions (I used 3 1/2) and the sauce was very runny. I served this over rice with Recipe #24670.

This is an excellent recipe except for one thing. I think the red wine amount should be cut in half. The sauce/gravy had a very tart flavor, almost along the lines of sauerbraten. It was difficult to adjust the flavor to our taste. Then too, It might have been the wine I used. BUT, I used an eye of round roast and the meat was so tender and NOT at all dry like eye of round usually is. So I WILL use this recipe again with the minor adjustment of less red wine. Oh, and the roast was done in about 6 hours. Fluffster, thanks for sharing! ~ Janet

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05.
My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him.
I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me.
We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here.
I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more.
Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact.
I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
