Yes it's a bottom round but it is so tender braised in liquid on a slow cook—either a slow cooker or in a dutch put on the stove top. Meat has to be pounded with a texturizer mallet first too. I wouldn't really buy it unless it's going to be braised for a long period.
I loved this dish growing up. It's comfort food to me. [Reply]

Mom's recipes and Nonna's. Some of my sister's who lives just outside Boston still.
Various cooking magazines and books from Joy of Cooking ( my basic bible), to Martha Stewart, various Ethnic ones, recipes cards, online ( when I get lazy since google is quick and easy). Margazines like Cooking Light and others. I'm a sucker at the grocery check out if the graphics and styling are alluring. [Reply]
