Red Wine Braised Beef and Mushrooms

Tender, juicy red wine braised beef, with a hearty mushroom-studded gravy – serve it up with herbed roasted potatoes and your favorite veggie for a satisfying weekend dinner!

Time tends to get away from me, and the fact that 2016 is here just reminds me of how fleeting the clock can be.

Having arrived on the other side of another year is both sad and a thrill – I left behind an incredibly prosperous 365 days, but the potential for the next 365 is absolutely unlimited! I already have some great things lined up for myself and my family and friends in the coming months.

As far as this little blog, it’s brought me more joy than I thought possible.

When I started it up in 2014, I didn’t intend for it to be more than an outlet for my venture into photography, a random hobby decided to try, and my desire to hone my cooking skills and showcase my husband’s (like with this Red Wine Braised Beef.)

Yet here we are, nearly 10 years later. I might have taken a hiatus, but I never stopped cooking.

I’m happy to bring you one of my all-time favorite recipes from my hubby’s repertoire.

We had a variation of this dish (made with short ribs) for the first time while choosing a wedding caterer in early 2012, and I became obsessed with the juicy cuts of beef.

Mr. Crumby tried out his own version for my birthday dinner that same year, it was a hit on our wedding menu, and it has become an often-requested (by me) dish in our home over the last three years.

In spite of the fact that braised beef is often served with mashed potatoes, I’m a fan of the roasted potato side – swirling them around in the delicious gravy is super delish, and adds lovely flavor.

More often than not, it’s either one of us handling dinner at a time, not usually both (our kitchen isn’t that big!) – but I had a hand in this one by prepping the potatoes.

They’re pretty tasty, also, and are a wonderful compliment alongside his perfectly crafted beef.

I am one lucky woman, in more ways than one. Here’s to a new year, new experiences, new foods to try, and new memories to make!
