As promised. . .Lidia Bastianich’s recipe for Beef Roasted in Barolo Wine. It’s unbelievably delicious and perfect for Hanukkah or Christmas, or even New Year’s Eve. Lidia roasts hers in a Dutch oven, but you can even make this centerpiece dish in a slow cooker, as senior contributor Chris Prosperi did for us in the studio. Lidia approved! Plus, senior contributor Alex Province pours a juicy Rasteau ($20), and cocktail contributor Anthony DeSerio shares a recipe for a joyful rum punch. Chris also offers up tasty ideas for what to do with leftover potatoes and tips for searing beef before adding it to a slow cooker. Faith dishes about her version of the ultimate brisket sandwich. It’s from one of her favorite lunch spots on the north fork of Long Island, but you’ll want to adapt it to make at home.

Are there any adjustments that should be made to the recipe if cooking the beef in crock pot?
Sure. Listen to the first 10 minutes or so of the episode. Chris and Faith talk about browning the meat, adding herbs and vegetables, and adapting for the slow cooker (Chris recommends cooking on low for 6-8 hours).
