- COOKING OPTIONS:
- Instant pot for 25 min, sit 10 minutes, then quick release.
- Oven for 2 hours.
- Simmer on the stove for 2-2 1/2 hours.
- Slow cooker 4 hours high, 6 hours low
- For added flavor brown the meat in small batches over medium-high heat in a tablespoon oil, so it has a chance to brown on both sides.
- Place the beef, onion, garlic, seasoned salt, Worcestershire, chili sauce, soy sauce, and broth into the pot you will be cooking it in. Instant Pot, dutch oven, pot, slow cooker.
- When the cooking time is complete the meat should be fork-tender.
- Remove the beef, turn on high, and add a tablespoon of butter along with 1/2-1 cup water mixed with 2 tablespoon cornstarch, slowly stir into the pot to thicken the gravy.
- Serve over potatoes, pasta, or rice, and add your favorite vegetables to make it a completely comforting meal.
- I served it with 3 lbs mashed potato,1 ½ lbs chopped carrots, and 2 stalks chopped celery I sauteed in a pan.
