Answer 1

Ingredients

4 pounds bottom round, well trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup olive oil (plus more if needed)

2 large onions, diced (2 cups)

1 6-ounce can tomato paste

1 cup dry red wine

1 pound potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 4 cups)

1/2 pound baby carrots (about 2 cups)

2 cups beef broth

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

1 bay leaf

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

Preparation

Coat the beef in the flour. Heat a few tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meat, a few pieces at a time, adding more oil as necessary. Transfer to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the onions to the skillet and cook over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and coat the onions; transfer to the cooker. Pour the wine into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits; add to the cooker. Stir in the potatoes, carrots, broth, salt, thyme, and bay leaf. Cover and cook on low heat for 7 1/2 hours, or on high for 4 hours. Add the peas and heat through.

Yield

Makes 8 to 10 servings

I would say jambalaya, but it is less than 10 hours...

What about a nice roast and potatoes and veggies.

Your roast does not have to be of top quality for it to taste that way.

Roast

mushrooms

onions

potatoes

3cups water, 1 cup red wine

1 tbs garlic

2 bay leaves

Very yummy!

Answer 4

1) Chicken or Pork soup.. with some vegie like potato, carrot, onion and winter melon or try some white fungus.. let it cook slowly for 10 hours.. it will be great and believe soup is great for your health.. as you work for such a long time..

2) Or you can try porridge.. shredded salted chicken meat or pork meat.. easy!
