When time is short, often the easiest dinner is one safely tucked into the oven to cook on it's own, while you complete other chores. You know, on those days we have a list of chores that need to be completed for the day. A hunk of beef roasted with this Easy Red Wine Marinade for Beef, is the best way to be productive and have a delicious dinner on the table when the family comes together at the end of the day. Matching up a long list of chores and an oven meal, is the easiest way to go. And easy on the cook...
As it happens, thyme and garlic are a delicious flavor pairing,
add in a bit of red wine and a splash of Balsamic vinegar for tenderness and you have a delicious marinade. You will want to let the meat marinate 24 to 36 hours (and honestly, longer will not hurt!) before seasoning liberally with salt and pepper and placing it in the oven to roast. Or you could add this marinade to the a roast before you place it in the freezer for storage, and have a preplanned dinner available for the next time you need dinner on a busy day. If this sound like a multi-taking process, it is, the best kind. A little bit of planning ahead is a guarantee of easy meals.
Once the roast is in the oven, and before you know it,
dinner and your list of chores will be done...of course you can always make this dinner to take a day off from household and outdoor chores! Having easy and delicious dinner ideas is one way to keep everything moving along on schedule, even some well deserved down time. While I am not usually one to tell you to multi-task, I definitely will when it comes to a bit of down time. And this easy and delicious dinner, will certainly help. And while the price of meat continues to be one of our largest expenses to get a meal on the table, this dinner is still less expensive than eating out. Plus you get to stay home, with family and eat well in the process.

Sherry when I am able to purchase a roast and put it in the freezer, I like to add this to the freezer bag or carton.
