Simple Crock Pot Roast

Since going back to work and having odd hours, I have been a Pinterest Junkie trying to find easy quick meals to make.   I found this simple Crock Pot Roast Recipe which was so simple but yet flavorful and tender.  Not a low sodium recipe but I really like it.  

SIMPLE CROCK POT POT ROAST

3-4 lb Chuck Roast
1 packet of Ranch Salad Dressing (not the dip one)
1 packet of Brown Gravy Mix
1 packet of Italian Dressing (Good Seasonings or generic both work)
1 cup of water (it asks for 1/2 cup of water but I used a full cup)

Sear the roast on all sides in a pan.  Combine the ranch, Italian dressing and brown gravy packets with a 1/2 cup of water and pour over roast in a crock pot. Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours.

Serve with mashpotatoes and a vegetable.

Marinated Flank Steaks

Happy Sunday, hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day. Today's recipe is a delicious marinated flank steak. It's a favorite with my family. Great as you can prepare a day in advance.

Marinated Flank Steak

3/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 honey
1/4 water
3 scallions chopped
4 garlic cloves; pressed
1 (8oz) flank steak

Instructions:
In a large zip lock bag place all ingredients except the steak. Once all ingredients are in bag add steak and let marinate for 2 hours or longer. Remove steak from bag and reserve marinade into a small sauce pan. Grill or broil steak until medium. While steak is cooking heat up the marinade to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. To serve slice against grain. Great with rice.
