Dear New Year,
Here’s the deal! I like carrot sticks. I’m going to keep eating those. I like oatmeal cookies. I’m going to continue to consider them a breakfast cookie. I’ll drink green juices. I’ll even like it.
Also… I’m going to continue to follow 3 people on Facebook that I don’t actually like. It’s that ‘keep your enemies close’ thing.
I’m going to drink tea, but I’ll always love coffee more.
I’ll go to church. I’ll volunteer… and I’ll try to be better all the time. I’ll try most sincerely. I’ll try to love more and text less.
I’m going to find a new bourbon to appreciate. That should be bonkers fun.
I’m going to eat real dinners, unless eating cold cereal while reading Food and Wine magazine makes more sense.
That’s where this roasted beef sandwich comes in. Gorgeous. Glorious. Blessed day! This could be the answer to unanswered questions. Slow cooking, good smelling, tender tender, sandwich goodness.
Alright New Year, I’m gonna getcha!
Love,
Joy
This might have been love at first sight. Now I know what that’s like. Thank you!
There is such beauty in the simplicity of this recipe. Beef roast is combined with broth, lots of raw garlic, onion, fresh sage and fresh thyme. I used a large Dutch oven… but a slow cooker (crock pot) also works well too! Beef is slooooooow cooked to tender perfection. This takes hoooouuuurrrsss. You can do all sorts of things in the time it takes for this roast to simmer, cook, and make your home smell amazing.
Errands. Emails. Closet organizing. Nail painting. Cookbook browsing. Facebook stalking… imagine the things you could do.
After cooking the meat is removed from the liquid and shredded with two forks. It falls apart, really. It is a perfect thing.
The roasted beef is matched with brioche buns and spicy horseradish mayonnaise. Major delicious. Major boy food. Major family food. Set it and forget it…. and then be amazed at what an amazing chef you are!

Cooks use the terms “horseradish” or “prepared horseradish” to refer to the grated root of the horseradish plant mixed with vinegar. Prepared horseradish is white to creamy-beige in colour. It will keep for months refrigerated but eventually will darken, indicating it is losing flavour and should be replaced. The leaves of the plant, while edible, are not commonly eaten, and are referred to as “horseradish greens”.”
