This is the last meal I made before we had people come in to start remodeling our kitchen. I'm posting it waaaay late but backdating it so it shows up on the right day 🙂
I got some gorgeous beef chuck eye steaks at the farmers market, and I bought some beautiful root veggies and brussels sprouts to go with them. I patted the steaks dry and dipped them in flour, shaking off the excess. I seasoned them up with salt and pepper and lightly browned them on both sides in a roasting pan in a few tablespoons of olive oil on the stovetop. I then threw in a few chopped cloves of garlic until it was really fragrant and added some beautiful multi-colored carrots (even purple!), golden beets, brussels sprouts, shallots and sweet potatoes. I cut everything into big chunks, leaving the carrots whole since they were pretty small.
I poured in about a cup of red wine and ½ cup of water, seasoned with salt and pepper and put everything into a 350°F oven for an hour. The end result was a super tender steak with perfectly roasted vegetables and a nicely reduced red wine sauce to go on top. This was simple and delicious and I can't wait to do it again!

You took an inexpensive cut of meat and you made it so fork tender-really nice. I love the addition red wine.
I hope your kitchen remodleing has gone well.

Thanks! The remodeling is going to be happening for a few weeks still I think. I'm going nuts not being able to use my kitchen! I'm planning to post a link soon with photos that I'm updating as things change...right now it's a big mess with one row of cabinets 🙂
The beef really did work out well. The farmer that sold it to me told me not to sear it - it needs to be cooked low and slow. He said he prefers it over some more expensive cuts of beef because it has a ton of flavor if you cook it right. I was definitely happy with how it turned out!

This looks absolutely delicious. I just finished dinner and dessert and while I'm full, your post makes me wish I could start all over again!

The cheap cuts, cooked low an slow are more of a match for the expensive stuff. That looks so impressive, I love the way the veg are prepared.

Random question... and I'm hoping you can help me out! How did do your settings so that people can't click on your pictures to make them bigger? I've tried to do that on my blog for so long and I can't figure it out! Please help a fellow food-blogger out! Thanx! thymeforwine(at)gmail(dot)com
