Tangy Tomato Beef

serves 6-8

1 Tablespoon oil

2 to 2 1/2 pound beef roast, trimmed of extra fat

1 cup chopped onion

1  – 28 oz. can diced or crushed tomatoes, undrained (3 cups)

1/3 cup dark brown sugar

2 Tablespoons cider vinegar

2 Tablespoons gluten free Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Over medium-high heat oil in a skillet.  Brown roast on all sides.  You are going for just a sear of the meat, not cooking it.  Remove from heat while assembling rest of ingredients.

Label a gallon sized zip close freezer bag with recipe name and cooking instructions.  In the bag put the onion, tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt and pepper.  Seal bag and mix contents.  Open bag and add roast.  Seal bag, removing as much air as possible.  Freeze.

To serve: Thaw.  Cook in slow cooker on low for 8 hours or until cooked through and the beef is very tender.  Serve with gluten free wide noodles, rice, quinoa or sweet potatoes and a salad.
