How to cook deliciously - Beef with Polenta

1. Stage

Mix the rosemary, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and pepper, then rub the mixture all over the meat. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, then brown the meat. Transfer the meat to a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Add the broth to the skillet and cook for one minute, stirring to loosen any browned bits from the pan. Pour the broth over the meat. Cook the roast, covered, on low for seven to nine hours or until meat is tender.

2. Stage

In a large, heavy saucepan, bring the water, milk and remaining 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle boil, then slowly whisk in the cornmeal. Cook and stir the polenta with a wooden spoon until it thickens and pulls away cleanly from side of pan, 15 to 20 minutes (the mixture will be very thick). Remove the pan from the heat, then stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter. Serve the polenta with the braised beef. If desired, garnish the braised beef and polenta with additional rosemary and shredded Parmesan cheese.
