Braised Beef with Anchovies and Rosemary

Tasty; sauce especially nice. Made a half recipe for my old 3.5-qt crockpot, although I expect the full amount would have fit fine. There is no taste or smell of anchovy in the final product, just a nice "complication" in the sauce. The recipe suggests meat cut in 2" cubes. I made mine somewhat smaller and we both thought they should have been smaller still, more like bite-sized. The sauce seemed a bit thin, so I thickened with some potato starch shortly before serving. The half recipe would have served three, as advertised; leftovers will make a soup for lunch I expect.
