Comment on Pot Roast by Catharine

In reply to Jess Rice. Yes it was a chuck roast with plenty of fat marbling. After posting my comment I spent some time reviewing what I did with the roast and I think I may have seared it too much on the stove before putting it in the oven. I remember searing it on both sides exactly how long the recipe says to, but it was more "cooked-looking" than the roast in the pics on the webpage. Could that have been what made it too tough?

I finally made this after having this recipe saved in my recipe app for years and it was delicious.

Comment on Slow Cooker Sesame Beef by Heather

I agree that the recipe as written is way too salty. I used the sweetness from red pepper and the acidity of rice vinegar to offset the saltiness, but still wound up making a stir-fry so I had enough to eat while using less of the beef. When using as much as I can stand given the saltiness, the batch amounted to approximately 24 servings. It’s good enough that I’ll likely try it again, but I’d do 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 3/4 cups water for the sauce.

This is delicious!! I doubled the broth and mushrooms but left the remaining ingredients as is. I added some finely chopped scallions, a bit of ginger and garlic and finished with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Topping with the chile garlic sauce adds a nice touch as well. I will definitely make again and according to my nutrition calculator, this only came in at 350 calories so I’m happy with that!

I LOVE this recipe. I found it a few years ago and it’s in my regular rotation. It’s so tasty and easy to sub veggies in and out depending on what we have. Thank you!

Comment on Marinated Portobello Mushroom Burgers by Katrin

I’ve used this marinade multiple times on simple, chopped up button mushrooms, that I rolled into wraps with your Easy Creamy Coleslaw – that combo is a favourite!
But today I got some King Oyster Mushrooms… Ripped into strips, marinated and baked in the oven for 20min. Served in arabian flatbreads with tahini, greek yogurt, rocket and sliced radishes and OMG delicious!!!

In reply to Nancy. Do they have to tell you everything? Just rinse it yourself.
