Anyway, that's what was on the menu for tonight. Or almost wasn't. It was one of those poorly planned evenings in the kitchen that almost didn't turn out, but did. First, I procrastinated and didn't get dinner started until a little after 5. Then, as I was chopping the carrots and onion, I realized that this dish really needed to simmer for over an hour! Oh well, I kept plugging along and just took the chance that the beef would be tender sooner than the recipe indicated.
Turns out it was a good gamble - the beef was tender in about 1/2 less time - and everything turned out very well. I won't bore you with all the other missteps I made in the kitchen in my hurry to get everything on the table at a decent hour, but let's just say it wasn't a lesson in efficiency or grace. Ahem.
In any case, we enjoyed this dish from Cooking Light very much - it has great flavor and is one of those perfect cool weather comfort food dishes - and it will definitely be repeated in this house. Only next time I'll allow a sufficient amount of time for prepping and simmering........
No time for a good photo either.....this one's a bit fuzzy, but it will have to do..............

This is one of my favorites from CL! I made it for Christmas dinner 2 years ago. I need to make it again soon, thanks for the reminder.
