BEST EVER POT ROAST WITH BOURSIN MASHED POTATOES



Best Ever Pot Roast with Boursin Mashed Potatoes image

This pot roast lives up to its name - it is the best ever! There are a few steps to this recipe, but every step enhances the wonderful flavors. The roast and gravy are bursting with flavor from all the fresh veggies and herbs. The wine reduction adds something a little extra making it a bit different than your average pot roast....

Provided by Samantha Jacobs

Categories     Roasts

Time 5h30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 c baby carrots
2 large onions, vidalia, peeled and quartered
5 lb chuck roast with good marbling ( fat= flavor)
3 Tbsp fresh thyme
3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 bay leaves, dried
1/2 c olive oil
2-3 c beef stock/broth
1 c red wine (I used cab)
1 pkg pot roast Crock Pot packet - whatever brand
course grained sea salt
fresh crushed black pepper
1 c all-purpose flour
BOURSIN MASHED POTATOES~~~
1 pkg Boursin cheese, 8 oz
1 c milk
1/2 stick butter, salted
3 lb red bliss potatoes
green onion

Steps:

  • 1. Take out your meat; let your meat come up to room temp. LIBERALLY season with sea salt and fresh black pepper.
  • 2. Pour some olive oil into a pan. Heat on med-high until almost smoking. Put your onion quarters in and brown on all sides (you want a nice deep golden color). When browned, remove and put in bottom of Crock Pot.
  • 3. Next add a little more oil if needed and put your carrots into the pan making sure everything gets a nice color as well. Remove when evenly browned and add to Crock Pot.
  • 4. Add the last of your oil and let it heat up. While your oil heats, dredge your beef through your flour making sure it's evenly coated.
  • 5. Sear the meat on all sides, about a minute or two, getting a GBD (Golden Brown and Delicious) color.
  • 6. Pull out your meat and lay it on top of your onions and carrots.
  • 7. Add your rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves to the Crock Pot.
  • 8. Mix your pot roast packet into your 2 cups of stock and stir until well combined then add to your Crock Pot. (The liquid should come up about halfway on the meat.)
  • 9. If there is a lot of oil left in your pan, dump some of it out. Add your red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wisk for all those little cooked on yummy bits (that's where a lot of your flavor will come from). Reduce it by about half, then add it to you Crock Pot.
  • 10. Set your Crock Pot on high and cook for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. You can leave it on low and it will keep going or, after 4 hours on high I usually turn it down and let it go another hour.
  • 11. Boursin Mashed Potatoes! In the last 45 min of cooking get a big pot of SALTY water boiling. Wash all of your potatoes well. Stab all over with a fork. DO NOT PEEL.
  • 12. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook until tender (falling off the fork when stabbed).
  • 13. Strain the potatoes really well.
  • 14. Put the milk and butter in the microwave and heat until milk is hot and butter is melted.
  • 15. Add the potatoes back to the pot and get out your electric mixer. Mix until most of the really big pieces are broken down.
  • 16. Add the milk/butter mixture a little bit at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • 17. I like these specific potatoes a little lump because they really stand up to the pot roast.
  • 18. Add 4 OZ of Boursin at the last minute and stir in while potatoes are hot. Season to taste.
  • 19. Try to separate the pot roast into manage pieces, either take it out and cut it or just separate it in the Crock Pot.
  • 20. It should be tender enough that it just falls apart to the touch.
  • 21. I serve it up with a big scoop of potaotes in the center of the plates and put pot roast and veggies and gravy right on top. Garnish with some chopped green onion if you so desire. DEEEEEEEEEEELICIOUS =)

"BEST EVER" GREEN BEANS AND NEW POTATOES



This simple, delicious recipe dates back generations in my family...we always get half-runner beans for this recipe and we can find them at our local produce store around Memorial Day (they are shipped in but first taste of the season is still OH SO GOOD!!! You can tweak the recipe according to your tastes by making it sweeter...

Provided by Mary Kay Nugent

Categories     Vegetables

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3-4 lb fresh half runner beans (ends snapped off, strings removed, broken in half or thirds)
1-2 lb jowl bacon (skin removed and sliced)
1 large yellow onion diced
1/4-1/2 c bacon grease or if you don't have any saved bacon grease you can use lard but bacon fat is most flavorful
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 lb red new potatoes
1 stick butter

Steps:

  • 1. Half runners have the very distinct feature of a string that runs down both sides of the bean...i find it easiest to snap off one end of the bean and pull the string down then snap the other end and remove the string on the other side....This will help you remove most of the strings but you will never get them all so don't get frustrated...small price to pay for the end result! So, step one is to snap off the ends and remove the string and break the beans into halves, or thirds...then put them in your kitchen sink and run water over them to wash them off
  • 2. Dice up your onion and remove the skin off of a 1-2 lb chunk of jowl bacon...salt pork can also be used but I prefer the jowl bacon...slice the jowl in about 1/4 in. slices...put your bacon grease or lard in a large stock pot on med. hi heat, add your jowl bacon and let it get kinda brown on the edges and fry up a little bit...add diced onion at this point as well...Saute onion for about 5 min.
  • 3. Put all of your beans into the stock pot, add water just up to the top of the beans (do not cover completely), add salt & pepper (I use about an 1/8 of a cup each of the salt and pepper for optimum flavor but you can adjust according to your dietary allowances and taste. Cover and bring to a hard boil then turn heat down and just cook with a steady light boil on about medium for approximately an hour.
  • 4. While the beans are cooking boil your potatoes. Tiny potatoes are rare at the grocery store though the earliest new potatoes at the farmers market can be just this small. I would pick out the smallest red-skinned potatoes available, of similar size so they cook evenly. Cook them whole,(you can peel them if you want, but it can be tedious with potatoes of a very small size) then cut into halves or quarters when tossing with the butter. In a large sauce pan boil till fork tender....drain and add the stick of butter to the potatoes...when melted and your beans are done dump the potatoes (with butter) over into the bean pot and stir...Adjust seasonings and Enjoy!!

THE BEST ROAST POTATOES EVER



The Best Roast Potatoes Ever image

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
4 pound Russet or Yukon Gold Potatoes
5 tablespoons EVOO, duck fat, or beef fat
1 handful Rosemary, chopped
3 cloves Garlic, minced
To taste Black pepper, fresh-ground
1 handful Parsley, minced

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 450°F/230°C (or 400°F/200°C if using convection). Heat 2 quarts (2L) water in a large pot over high heat until boiling. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt (about 1 ounce; 25g), baking soda, and potatoes and stir. Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until a knife meets little resistance when inserted into a potato chunk, about 10 minutes after returning to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, combine olive oil, duck fat, or beef fat with rosemary, garlic, and a few grinds of black pepper in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Cook, stirring and shaking pan constantly, until garlic just begins to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Immediately strain oil through a fine-mesh strainer set in a large bowl. Set garlic/rosemary mixture aside and reserve separately.
  • When potatoes are cooked, drain carefully and let them rest in the pot for about 30 seconds to allow excess moisture to evaporate. Transfer to bowl with infused oil, season to taste with a little more salt and pepper, and toss to coat, shaking bowl roughly, until a thick layer of mashed potato-like paste has built up on the potato chunks.
  • Transfer potatoes to a large rimmed baking sheet and separate them, spreading them out evenly. Transfer to oven and roast, without moving, for 20 minutes. Using a thin, flexible metal spatula to release any stuck potatoes, shake pan and turn potatoes. Continue roasting until potatoes are deep brown and crisp all over, turning and shaking them a few times during cooking, 30 to 40 minutes longer.
  • Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and add garlic/rosemary mixture and minced parsley. Toss to coat and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Here are tips and conclusion about the article you linked:

Best Potatoes Dish

1. Choosing Potatoes: Select Yukon Gold, russet, or red-skinned variety for the best texture. 2. Rinsing and Peeling: Rinse & scrub the un-pealed pieces. Peeling is not required but recommended. 3. Cutting Technique: Even-size pieces for even cooking; smaller pieces cook faster. 4. Boiling Preps: Start with cold water, add the cut pieces, bring to boil & reduce heat to let them simmer. 5. Seasoning and Draining: Drain well and season with butter, salt, and herbs. Seasoning boiled pieces absorbs better. 6. Flawless Creamy Mashed: Mash when still hot. Smaller pieces help avoid clumps. Add liquid and butter incrementally. Whip or beat vigorously for a creamy texture. 7. Roasted Potato Hacks: Preheat pan and oil to prevent sticking. Roast smaller cubes for quicker cooking. Toss cubes with herbs, spices, and oil for extra flavors. 8. Grilled Precision: Aluminum foil packs lock in moist and allow even cooking. Grill marks? Sear directly, but keep an eye to avoid char. 9. French Fry Uniformity: Consistent size pieces are the key. Soak cut pieces in water for at least 30 minutes to remove starch, improve crispiness, and prevent sticking. 10. Waxy vs. Stary Potatoes: Waxy ones hold shape in boiling, so great for salads and casseroles. Stary ones absorb liquid, making them suitable for creamy soups and mashed.
