Slow Cooker: Beef Stroganoff & Roast Beef

A couple recipes from my buddy Dave

Beef Stroganoff
2lbs of flank steak

1 can of mushrooms

1 onion

1 can of beef broth

2 cups of boiling water

1 pack of onion soup mix  ( I found this is usually too salty.. so might want a reduced salt one)

Pepper

1 cup of flour

worcestershire sauce (7 drops)

Sour cream (optional)

Everything goes into a slow cooker.

1. Cut the flank steak into strips going against the grain

2. Put the cup of flour into a bowl and cover the cut beef before putting into the slow cooker

3. Put the leftover flour into the slow cooker

4. Cut the onion into slivers and put into the slow cooker

5. Mix the onion soup mix into the 2 cups of boiling water and put into the slow cooker

6. Add the remaining ingredients except the sour cream

7. Cook for at least 6 hours. Prefer 8. Stir hourly

8. Add the sour cream to taste just before serving.

9. Serve over broad egg noodles.

10. Can add peas on top.

Roast Beef

1 Sirloin tip roast

2 cups of boiling water with onion soup mix

Put both into slow cooker and cook for 6 hours

When you cut the roast put into a casserole dish and cover with the jus from the slow cooker to keep juicy

Recipes

So over the years I’ve used a few recipes.. and each time I need one I go searching for it on various peices of paper, or in emails & websites.. so I’ve decided to throw all the ones I want to keep, on here, under the new Recipe category.

DB2

Another new thing for me at the current client is DB2. I’ve always been working with Oracle.

So here I will list out the things I find useful for DB2. (I’m not going to be too low level on this project, but some tidbits may pop up)

First one:
Querying for a column name:
SELECT TBNAME, NAME FROM SYSIBM.SYSCOLUMNS WHERE NAME LIKE ‘%IDENT%’ and TBNAME LIKE ‘S_%’
