Bought a 3 1/2# top round the other day and it accidentally froze in our refrigerator -- we took out a tray of baked ziti a couple days ago to thaw out in the fridge and it froze everything nearby, lol.
So normally would bake a top round but when I found out it was frozen solid decided to make something in the dutch oven instead. Did a quick defrost by putting the top round in a zip lock bag and soaking it in cold water for about an hour or so. Might still be a little solid in center, ha, ha.
So basically just used what we had available for this one. Browned the top round right in the dutch oven on the stove. Chopped a white onion, a few celery stalks, some carrots and garlic and saute it until tender. 2 cups of beef stock, a cup of water and about a quarter cup each of cider and red wine vinegar. Let it boil down for a couple minutes with the vegetables. Seasoned with about 1 tbsp each of rosemary and thyme and about 1/2 tbsp each of salt and white pepper. Threw it all in the dutch oven and added 1 can of red kidney beans and 1 can of white navy beans.
Going to let it cook for about 3 hrs and see how it turns out...
