Appetizer: Water Crackers with extra sharp and parmeasan cheese, dry sausage, and strawberries.

Main Course: Crab-Stuffed Filet Mignon with sauteed asparagus garnished with fresh parmeasan and toasted pine nuts and roasted new red potatoes

(The crab spilled out while moving from baking pan to plate!)

Italian Beef

1 6# rump roast, approx.
3 large onions
1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper

Place in pan 1/2 filled with water.  Cook until tender, approx 4 hours.  Let stand overnight with seasonings.  Next day, remove meat & slice very thin against grain.

*Strain liquid* and add:
1/2 t. onion salt
1/2 t. garlic salt
1/2 t. oregano
1/4 t. basil
1/2 t. Italian Seasoning
1/2 t. seasoned salt
1 t. Accent

Bring to a boil.  Pour over sliced beef.  Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.  Serve warm on rolls with au jus.  I usually add a slice of mozzarella or provolone cheese to the roll.

NOTE: Most of the time I do not bake, but warm sliced beef and juice together on top of stove.
