Sherried Beef

Submitted by Jenny Frenny

"Long time favorite of my family's. Can be done either in the oven or the crock pot. Cook time listed is oven time. Always check the crockpot during the day and make sure that the gravy isn't getting too thick. Just add water if that is the case. My mom never browned the meat, it all just went into the pot. If you are short on time, this step can be omitted."

Very good! I followed directions for oven except I cooked mine at 250° for 6 hours...fall apart good! I used more sherry instead of water to thin the gravy. Thanks for postimg. Update 4/8/09. Made this again using crockpot method, stick with the oven method it is so much better! No change in star rating , still 4 star.
