This is my version of the classic Beef Manhattan. I was craving Ribeye with Stilton Brown Butter Sauce, but had a beef roast I needed to cook, so Incorporated the flavors and my "Beef Nanhattan" was the delicious result. Served on top of mashed potatoes is my favorite, but it's also yummy on noodles, over rice, or in a toasted Hoagy roll. (My grandkids and great-grands call me Nan, so naming this recipe was a no-brainer. 😉)

Steps

1

Heat oil in large pot (such as a Dutch oven) over medium-high heat. Brown roast well on all sides. Remove roast and set aside.
2

Add onion to pan and brown, stirring occasionally. Should take about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and stir.
3

Return beef to the pan and add remaining ingredients EXCEPT the blue cheese. Cover with tight fitting lid. Reduce heat to medium low and let slow cook for 2 to 2-1/2 hours, until beef is tender and shreds easily. Check on it every 45 minutes or so, and add more water if the gravy is getting too thick.
4

Remove beef from pot and shred using two forks. Return shredded beef to the pot of gravy.
5

Stir in the crumbled blue cheese. Cover the pot and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes. Serve on top of mashed potatoes.

My 5 siblings and I were raised in the 1950s and 60s midwest by a major foodie dad who was a great cook. We all learned to cook at a young age. I love to cook for my 2 daughters, 7 grandkids, 8 great-grandkids, and extended family. My 4 year old great-grandson makes my day when he says "Nan sure is a good cooker!". :-). I'm trying to get all my favorite recipes saved here so my family and friends all have easy access to them even after I'm gone. My Cookpad collection is their inheritance, so I try to add my comments and memories to each recipe; that way they'll remember me with a smile when they use the recipes years from now. Recently I've called on my grandkids (all adults and avid cooks) to send me their own favorite recipes, with their prep photos, so we can collect everyone's favorites together in one place.
