1 3-4 pound boneless beef roast

½ cup GFCF soy sauce

1 bay leaf

¾ t. ground pepper

1 t dried crushed rosemary

1 t. dried thyme

2 cloves garlic, minced

Trim fat from roast.  Place roast in crockpot.  Surround roast with sliced onions (put around sides, not on top or underneath).

In a bowl, combine the rest of ingredients.  Pour mixture over roast.  Put lid on crockpot, and cook on low heat for 10-12 hours (or 5-6 on high), or until meat is very tender.

Remove meat from broth.  Remove bay leaf and discard.  Strain onions from broth.  Reserve broth.  Place onions back into crock pot.  Slice thinly or shred meat.  Return to crock pot.  Stir.

Put meat and onion mixture onto Noah Rolls (see archives).  Use reserved broth for dipping.  Try toasting or grilling the rolls before adding the meat.

Apple Slices

Crockpot Pea Soup and Ham

16 oz. dried split peas

2 cups diced fully cooked ham

1 ham bone (from above ham)

1 cup carrots, sliced

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 bay leaves

½ t salt

½ teaspoon pepper

5 cups chicken stock, boiling

1 cup hot almond milk or GFCF milk of choice

Put the ham bone in the bottom of the crockpot.  Next, layer in this order the split peas, ham, carrots, onion, garlic, bay leaves, salt, pepper and boiling stock.  Do not stir.  Cover and cook on high 4-5 hours (or 8-10 hours on low) or until vegetables are tender.  Remove hambone and bayleaves.  Stir in hot almond milk.  If desired, you can smash up some of the peas to thicken your soup.
