sure ... but their preparation is totally 100% in the oven - nothing done on the stove top at all ... start to finish - it's made in the oven

a long process ... and that explained to me why theirs has such a greater depth of flavor ... so much richer than what I had come up with ... and surprisingly when I ate it I thought it was made with tenderloin because of how deliciously soft and easy to cut it was ... literally falling apart once your pierced the crustish sort of exterior carmelization of the beef ... but they used choice beef chuck. who knew?

chuck is quite flavorful and it comes out best when you braise it...I'm surprised they don't brown (maybe they sear at 450-500 first?) and then you.. - zeitgeist Jan 16, 21:13 2
- I sear the chunks ahead of cooking everything in the oven -- nm - peglegpete Jan 16, 21:24
- I'll post their recipe tomorrow - when I'm at work and can do a cut and paste -- nm - JenBro Jan 16, 21:15
