food The Best of Simple

I enjoy grilled cheese, pizza, mac-and-cheese and a number of other dishes which are not complicated ...

Here's one Danielle did the other day (probably originally seen on Facebook), which blew both of our minds ...

It all started when I came home from the grocery with a top round and this (was supposed to buy wok stuff) ...

That piece of meat called out to me ...

Danielle saw how excited I was about it, and wanted to cook it ...

When she called me in for a picture, I was a little disappointed ...

I went back to my desk, and noted the smell of beef browning, and visited once more ...

I bought a slow-cooker that browns within itself because Danielle doesn't retain meat juices when she uses a pan and that makes me stabby ...

I mean that's it ... that's my beautiful chuck roast swimming in the entire contents of a jar of pepperoncini with their stems removed ...

It was thoroughly browned, and she did one hour on high on each side before turning it down to low (goal was to eat sooner than later) ...

It really started to smell good when the juice heated up ...

So, against her wishes, I checked ...

Smell, pure awesome ...

A couple hours later ...

The beef was incredible, better than EVERY pot roast type shoulder I've ever crocked ... one's with coffee, beer, good seasons, coke, you name it ...

Plated w/ giardiniera, which made a nice alternate to the warm, awesome peperoncini, but the beef and peperoncini was magical.

Next time, two jars of peppers (one jar's liquid) and a full-size shoulder ...

This could become a once a week meal here ...

Show us your best, simplest stuff ...
Here's the plated shot, which I'd forgot to include ...

Do it.
 
Interesting.  :think:  I've never heard of cooking a roast with pepperoncini. Is that a "thing", or is it something you came up with? Does the meat come out tasting vinegary?

She is not adventurous like me ... I think she saw it on FB ...

It's mind-blowingly awesome ...

There's probably some interplay w/ the pickling or whatever, but I mean, it was simply outstanding ...

Next time, on hard rolls ...

If I could get my Family to eat spicy food I sure would try it. maybe a small Sheep Roast for myself is in order, I like using vinegar in my Marinade! 
 
It's mild on anyone's scale, and the amount of heat on the THP user's scale would best be characterized as "trace" ...
 
Would love that with a fresh baked hard roll peppers beef dip in juices destroy :) Dam post tonight keep making me hungry!! Lol, but seriously though Danielle nice job. Nice post Have to find something to chip in.
 
While insane pizzas were flooding in yesterday, I was trapped at home, chained to my desk, without produce, milk, butter, or fresh meat =(

In the cupboard I found these little Chinese sausages I read about somewhere along the way, but had never tried. I also had instant sticky rice, and lots of pepper powders and sauces ...

Salted the shallot slices, after reading about smashburger/slider techniques yesterday ...

I'm liking ghee for frying here lately, and this is going to be a deliberately simple dish as I've never had the sausages or the chili garlic sauce, and I'm profiling them a bit ...

After a bit, I piled up in the center, and added some chili garlic sauce and then started the rice in the microwave and doused the pile w/ dark soy sauce ...

I love the smell that follows ... mmmmmm.

I had to keep it moving, but I splashed it a tiny bit more, and kind of deglazed and scraped the tasties ...

I dumped the rice, and then the pan ...

Good find Grant, i'll be giving this one a go sometime again  :cheers:
 
I made this today and it was the best pot roast I have ever made!  3.5lb chuck roast and 1 big bottle of pepperoncini….. who could have thought it would be so awesome.  I seasoned the roast with Jane's Krazy Salt and let it sit in the fridge 4-5 hours, browned it all over in a big cast iron dutch oven in a little oil, dumped in the pepperoncini liquid and trimmed peppers, added enough water to bring liquid to half the height of roast and cooked at 275 for 4 hours.  My wife couldn't believe it was that simple after eating it.  Sorry for the lack of pics, but they couldn't do it justice anyway.
 
I was actually kinda surprised the peppers don't go mushy, i don't know if that has something to do with them being pickled.

Grant i had thought about grabbing a jar of sourkraut for the sammies, wish i had now.
 
This old nurse I work with was telling me to do this last year, I never did because I wasn't too sure about it. Now seeing your results I may actually give it a go. She is constantly on facebook so probably where she had learned it as well.
 
LETS GO SOS AND COUNT!!! DO IT!!!!!!
And take pictures!! Show it off!! 
 
And make poppers with the leftovers!

And get drunk and make quesadillas and nachos with the rest!! 
 
DO IT!!! It's so much fun to get those pictures out there!

I'll be eating leftovers for lunch, so I'll snap some pics.  
And in all seriousness, I wrote down the recipe/method for this last night and threw away my old roast beef recipe card.  IT'S THAT GOOD!
