As an alternative to turkey, a succulent roast beef is always a hit during the Holiday season. Cooked in a crock pot, an English cut beef is the best one for slow cooking.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

English Cut Roast Beef With Vegetables
(Serves 4-6)

1-3lb.English cut roast beef
3-large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

Directions: In a small bowl: combine the salt, the pepper, the meat tenderizer and the dried mushroom soup mix. Rub both sides of the beef with the seasoning mixture. In a large skillet: heat the cooking oil and sear both sides of the beef. Turn the crock pot to high and add one-half cup of water. Place the seared seasoned beef into the crock pot. Cook for two hours and then add the russet potato chunks. Cook for another hour and add the sliced carrots pre-cooked in a microwave for fifteen minutes. Cook for another hour and check to see if the meat is done and also the vegetables. Let the meat rest for fifteen minutes before slicing. Arrange the sliced roast beef and the vegetables on a platter for serving. Serve with a tossed salad and some dinner rolls.

Christmas Eve has always been celebrated with an early supper before opening the gifts or attending a late night church service. An eye-of-round roast beef has a pocket cut into it and stuffed with a French bread dressing.

Eye-Of-Round Stuffed Roast Beef

1cup chicken broth
1-cup water
Seasoning mixture:

Directions: In a large bowl: tear the French bread into small pieces. Heat the Cooking oil and sauté the vegetables until tender. Add the sautéed vegetables to the French bread pieces. Heat the chicken stock and the water. Add the seasoning mixture to the dried bread and sautéed vegetables. Ladle the warm chicken broth to the dressing mixture until it is well moistened. With a large spoon put the dressing mixture into the pocket of the roast and secure the roast with a string.

Season both sides of the beef with 1/2-tsp salt, 1/2-tsp pepper and 1/2-tsp meat tenderizer. Place the stuffed roast in a roasting pan and cook for at least 4 hours at three hundred and fifty degrees. Serve with steamed broccoli and lemon and wheat dinner rolls.

The perfect ending for a roast beef meal is an easy to make apple pie For the sugar restrictive a sugar-free product and a sugar-free brown sugar product is substituted. For the carb and cholesterol conscious, a light or a fat-free butter product is substituted.
