Notes & Wine Advice
Quick Variation:
To make gravy, skim fat from juices in the slow cooker. Measure 1½ cups of the juices; pour into a small saucepan. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Shake 2 tablespoons cornstarch and ¼ cup cold water in a tightly covered jar. Stir cornstarch mixture into beef juices. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
