Pan-Roasted Balsamic Onions image

We mixed leeks with equal amounts of red and white pearl onions and cipollini (flat little Italian onions), but you can use any combination of small, sweet onions.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 ounces white pearl onions
10 ounces red pearl onions
10 ounces cipollini onions
2 1/4 pounds leeks
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup Homemade Chicken Stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add white and red pearl and cipollini onions, and boil for 1 minute. Drain. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then carefully peel, leaving root and stem ends intact. Transfer to a large bowl, and add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss to combine.
  • Meanwhile, remove any damaged outer leaves from leeks, then trim and discard dark-green tops. Trim roots of leeks without cutting off the base. Cut them in half lengthwise, and let soak in a large bowl of cold water for 5 to 10 minutes to rid them of dirt and sand. Lift leeks from water, pat dry, and place in a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to combine.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and leeks. Saute leeks until slightly tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove leeks from skillet, and set aside.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil and white, red, and cipollini onions to skillet, and saute turning occasionally, until browned all over, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium low, and add balsamic vinegar and stock; cover skillet, and cook until onions are tender, 20 to 30 minutes, adding the leeks to pan after 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover, and add butter; increase heat to high, and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until liquid reduces to a glaze and coats the onions, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.

1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
1 (4 -5 lb) boneless chuck roast, neatly tied*

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • If this has not been done already, tie the meat around its "waist" with cooking twine so it doesn't fall apart during cooking.

  • Remove the porcini with a slotted spoon, coarsely chop, and set aside. Strain the broth through a fine sieve and set aside.

  • Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining oil, onions, cremini mushrooms, garlic, and rosemary to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms and onions are tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Return the meat to the pot and add the porcini, strained broth, vinegar, and sugar. Over high heat, bring to a boil.
  • Cover (with aluminum foil if using a roasting pan). Transfer to the oven and cook until the meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
  • Transfer the meat to a cutting board and cover with foil to keep warm. With a slotted spoon, remove the vegetables and reserve.
  • Place the pan over high heat and boil the cooking liquid until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Add the parsley, stir, and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Chuck roast, blade roast, or bottom round roast are all suitable for pot roast. These cuts are flavorful and become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the Beef: Browning the beef before braising adds flavor and color to the pot roast. Do this in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, searing the beef on all sides.
  • Use a Good Quality Balsamic Vinegar: Balsamic vinegar is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years, as it will have a more complex flavor.
  • Add Plenty of Vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to the pot roast. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • Cook the Pot Roast Low and Slow: The key to a tender and flavorful pot roast is to cook it low and slow. Braise the roast in the oven at 300°F for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.

Conclusion:

This balsamic and onion pot roast is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are perfectly cooked. Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
