Spotted a 3 lb top sirloin roast on sale a couple weeks ago - half price. Put it in the freezer. This wasn't a less tender cut - it really was a sirloin. Price was $12 marked down from $24. Don't know why they didn't cut it up into steaks.
Anyway, took it out of the freezer and into the fridge Friday to thaw. Saturday morning I first cut 2 thick 1-1/2 inch steaks out of the middle and put them back in the freezer. Browned the rest of the roast (two pieces now) and put into the crock pot along with red potatoes, celery, and carrots (browned the carrots and potatoes a little also).
Came out great. What's on the platter is just one of the portions of roast and most of the veggies. Looks small from the angle. The rest was still in the cooker.
Great winter comfort food on a chilly winter day.
I cut up spring onions instead of regular ones. I'd use regular ones in the future. But the interesting thing was I used scissors to cut the green tops into small pieces and put them in the bottom of the crock pot under the roast - For seasoning / flavor - along with ground pepper and kosher salt. The liquid was just regular water (from deglazing the pan where I browned the roast first) and a little red wine. The green onions completely dissolved during cooking! I've never seen that happen before. And you could taste them in the veggies. Really good - but kind of weird seeing them disappear like that.
Sunday
Notre Dame at NC State at 6:30. Usually Sunday games are in the afternoon. Kind of rare to have a late Sunday game. But - TV / ESPN sets the time. So be it.
Winning would really help our RPI and NCAAT seeding. Plus - we just want, and need, to win.
We are thinking about stopping at KFC on the way. Maybe get a box - eat there and bring home the rest for later in the week.
Addendum
Lost by 3 in overtime.
Actually, we should have won by 4 in Regulation, But we screwed up on our last 2 offensive possessions. The first - we missed a sure score that would have put us up by 4. Then we turned over our in bounds pass.
We were still in it during overtime. But we were a bit deflated by regulation and ND had the momentum.
Still - a great game. We can win any game we play.
Good riddance to Herb Sendek.

Sounds like a Fine time in life to be able to say, "We could win any game" :)
BTW, the photo looked like a cooking-show shot. mikeofreston
