Skipped lunch (as usual) so I made an early dinner.

I made Beef ( london broil) cut into cubes with marinara sauce, rough cut onionsand mushrooms…served with spaetzle

First the beef was cubed put on salt/ pepper, paprika,
and garlic powder. Then dredged in flour..fried in three
batches with a little olive oil…removed to plate and fried a
Rough chopped onion until lightly browned,..

Then added 1/2 cup white wine to deglaze the pan…and added about
one cup marinara sauce and about 1/2 cup water, salt/ pepper,
a couple pinches of Italian seasoning, a pinch thyme…simmered for
a few minutes.
Then transferred everything to the crock pot.

The mushrooms are dried mushrooms soaked in warm water for 20
minutes …then drained off and soaked in boiling water for 5 minutes…
Drained again and I saved the mushrooms and flavorful mushroom water to
add to the crock pot later…

Set timer for 1 1/2 hours on high…after 1 1/2 hrs…lowered temp to low and
cooked for another hour..then added the mushrooms and cooked for 30 more
minutes longer…also I added some of the mushroom water.
The beef was so tender that you could cut it with a fork.
Served with Spaetzle and a side salad and garlic bread. Made enough Spaetzle
that I could freeze two packages of it.👍
It was all soo delicious.
