Wednesday
Meal: (Meat) Braised Top Round Roast with Vidalia Onion and Potatoes
Description: A small portion of top round roast is seared in a hot pan and then slow-braised in beef broth with sliced Vidalia onion and halved baby potatoes until fork-tender and deeply flavorful. Because braising takes time, this meal is best started in the early afternoon or prepped the night before and reheated.
Sale items used: Top Round Roast Certified Angus Beef ($7.99/lb), Tasteful Selections Potatoes ($2.99 for 16 oz bag), Bland Farms Vidalia Onions (from bag purchased Monday)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, 90 minutes total (braising included)
Serving note: Ask the butcher to cut approximately 0.75 lb from the roast (cost: $5.99). Use half the potato bag (the rest can be used Friday). Make-ahead tip: braise on Tuesday evening and simply reheat Wednesday for a stress-free dinner.
