I made this recipe and just changed it a little. I had the butcher at Kroger cut the beef into what I call skewer chunks. They looked like 1 1/2 inch chunks. Then I just shook them in a Ziploc bag with 1/2 cup of flour and browned them all on the stove as the recipe reads. The other two things I did... I added 1 cup of cabbage (just to use it up) and I didn't have balsamic vinegar so I used Apple cider vinegar and finally the last change was... I used a small can of beef broth, not packets. Put this in the oven at 350°F for only 1 hour and OMG it was great.

Excellent!!! The gravy has a little "kick". I made only slight modifications. Before browning, I inserted slices of garlic clove into the roast I added cornstarch to the water/ vinegar mix instead of using flour.. I did not use the instant vegetable broth mix and did not have beef broth on hand, so I added a couple of dashes of worcestershire sauce and ketchup instead. YUM!

Am going to cut recipe in half - try to convert to crock pot. Will use Debbie's idea - of inserting garlic cloves into roast. I usually do a London Broil - cut in half. Is always excellent.
Thank you for submitting. Just need to research and see at what point to add vegetables.
