braised chipotle beef

p. 82

unlike yesterdays 10 hour recipe, this recipe is cooked for 7 hrs, which means I went solo on this one.
10:30 am: I started braising the beef as per the recipe, but it took much longer as bebe tired of his jumper :(  otherwise, once I distracted him with his other books and toys, this meal started taking shape. the next time I make this I will apply the dry rub to the beef the night before as that was the most time consuming (and messy) part.

 6:40 pm: this gets 5 stars!! so yummy. I usually don't like overly spicy items, and the chipotle chile powder sneaks up on you. definitely will eat this one again!!
