Same Day Sauerbraten With Mushroom-Pepper Crostini

• 3-1/2 pounds lean boneless chuck roast
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 envelope (1.2 oz) ounce brown gravy mix
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons minced onion
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Hot cooked wide egg noodles
• Mushroom-Pepper Crostini
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 6 medium shallots, thinly sliced
• 1 pound cremini mushroom caps, coarsely chopped
• 2 medium red bell peppers, coarsely chopped
• 1/3 cup coarsely chopped Kalamata olives
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 1 long thin French baguette, thinly sliced on the diagonal

1. Heal oil in a deep, heavy Dutch oven. Add the roast and brown all sides, turning as necessary. Remove roast from the pan, and stir the brown gravy mix into the drippings. Stir in 1/2 cup water and heat to boiling, stirring constantly.
2. Add and stir in minced onion, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, bay leaf and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Return meat to pan, turn to coat with gravy and simmer, covered, for 60 minutes or until beef is tender. Set aside while preparing mushroom-bell pepper crostini.
3. Mushroom-Pepper Relish: Melt butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and saute until golden, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and bell peppers; saute until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the olives, mustard and garlic, and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Lay baguette slices in a single layer in a 350-degree oven and toast until lightly browned and crisp. Spread with mushroom-bell pepper spread and serve warm or at toom temperature.
4. Cut beef roast into slices, and serve over hot buttered egg noodles with mushroom-bell pepper crostini.
