Ingredients

3-pound beef boneless tip roast

1

teaspoon salt

1

teaspoon mixed dried herb leaves

1/2

teaspoon pepper

2

cloves garlic, finely chopped

1

cup balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Spray 12-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook beef in skillet about 5 minutes until brown on all sides. Sprinkle with salt, herbs and pepper.

Place garlic in 4- to 5-quart slow cooker. Place beef on garlic. Pour vinegar over beef.

Cover and cook on low heat setting 6 to 8 hours or until beef is tender. Reserve 1/4 cup of the beef juices.

Cut half of the beef into thin slices to make 3 cups; place in refrigerator or freezer container along with reserved 1/4 cup beef juices for Philly Beef Sandwiches (page 77). Cover and refrigerate beef up to 4 days or freeze up to 4 months. To thaw frozen beef, place container in refrigerator about 8 hours.

Serve remaining half of beef now.
