Ok, so this isn’t a recipe, but I felt that I HAD to share a discovery I made! While shopping in the grocery store this past weekend, I happened upon a brand-new-to-me salad dressing. It’s called MAKOTO Ginger Dressing.

Oh. My. GOODNESS!! I have finally found my favorite salad dressing!! If you have ever been to a Japanese steakhouse and had their little salad that comes with the hibachi meal, then you will know the savory, delicious flavor of this dressing. I am addicted. I like eating the Fresh Express 50/50 Mix with sliced cucumbers and carrot ribbons piled high on top. Top that with a tablespoonful or so of dressing and I am good to go for lunch time!! (Or any time, for that matter.) The dressing must be kept refrigerated, so I suggest looking for it with the produce in the refrigerated section. It has 80 calories and 1 gram of sugar per 2 tablespoonful serving. It does contain soy and wheat. The label says the dressing can be used as a sauce or a marinade, as well. You’ll find the link to the product website here. There are a bunch of yummy looking recipes right there that are just begging me to try. I wanted to share this wonderful discovery with y’all. Enjoy!! :-)

This is a REALLY good Crock Pot recipe for roast beef au jus sandwiches. I used Bud Light for the beer for this recipe. I have not tried any other kind, but I am sure that any favorite light beer will be ok. The recipe yields about 8 servings, depending on how much roast beef you pile on one sandwich. I would also highly recommend using crusty French bread rolls or loaves so that the beef juice doesn’t over-soggify the bread. My husband loves to dip the whole sandwich into the Crock Pot to thoroughly drench his sandwich; I prefer to have the au jus in a little bowl on the side for dipping. My family usually eats this with plain potato chips or potato salad. We have also taken this recipe to a New Year’s Eve party and it was gone before we rang in the new year!! I find this recipe highly addictive because of its simplicity and minimal ingredients, not to mention the fact that it is delicious. Enjoy!!!



Roast Beef au Jus Sandwich with chips

Here’s what you need:

1 beef rump roast, about 3 to 4 pounds
2 envelopes Lipton onion soup mix
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon oregano
2 Tablespoons minced garlic (we are garlic lovers!)
2 cans (10.5 fl oz each) beef broth, or reconstitute 3 cups beef broth
1 bottle (12 fl oz) light beer
French bread rolls or loaves, cut to serving size

Here’s what you do:

  1. Trim and discard fat from beef. Place trimmed beef in Crock Pot.
  2. Combine all other ingredients, except for bread, in medium mixing bowl. Pour over beef. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, low for 2 hours. You can also cook it on low for 8 hours.
  3. Remove beef from Crock Pot, slice/shred on a cutting board, and return beef to cooking juice in Crock Pot.
  4. Serve roast beef on rolls with au jus liquid in a little bowl on the side.
