Braised Beef & Rice

Monday night my dear husband cooked dinner for me.  It was FANTASTIC.  Here's how he crafted the delicious delicacy. Earlier that morning, he placed a cut of tough tough beef into our crock pot, added about 1/2 cup of water and one packet of lipton onion seasoning.  He let it cook for about 12 hours on the lowest setting.  Once evening rolled around he cooked up 2 cups of jasmine white rice according to the packages instructions.  He then topped the rice with a slice of the tender beef and poured the scrumptious auju sauce over top.  It was AMAZING.  It was tender, succulent, savory, and perfectly cooked.  Other options to spice this dish up could be adding baby red potatoes, onions, peppers etc... half way through the day, or adding a port-wine reduction to the meat to cook add another layer of flavor. This recipe is great for people on the go who don't have time to stand in front of a stove at all.  It cooks itself! Enjoy and thanks again Pete!
