Best 7 Braised Beef And Veal With Tomato Gravy Recipes

BRAISED ROULADEN WITH PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Lay flat each piece of top round, spread on a layer of mustard, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and top with a slice of bacon. At one end of each piece, place about a tablespoon of the chopped onions and a pickle spear. Starting from the filling side (the onions and pickle), begin to roll each piece while tucking in the sides (this will keep your rouladen filling inside as you cook them). Tie a piece of butcher string around each rouladen in the middle and then on both sides (like you would a present), and then knot it.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Cook the rouladen on all sides until brown. Remove any excess oil from the pan, leaving the leftover brown bits. Reduce the heat, add the beef stock and bring to a simmer. Simmer on medium-low to low heat, covered, until the rouladen are fork-tender, about 90 minutes. Remove them from the pan (leaving the juices), cover loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. Bring the leftover pan juices to a simmer and slowly add the cornstarch mixture while stirring. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the starchy flavor has been cooked away, about 10 minutes. Add the red wine near the end of the cooking time if using, to add a nice zesty flavor.
• Serve the rouladen with the gravy.

WHOLE BRISKET WITH TOMATO GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, combine garlic, rosemary, pepper, salt, brown sugar, red pepper and paprika. Place brisket fat-side up in a large, deep roasting pan (about 13 by 16 inches) and rub all over with mixture.
• Roast brisket, uncovered, for 20 minutes. While brisket cooks, pour olive oil into a large saucepan over medium heat and add onions. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and their liquid, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir occasionally, breaking tomatoes with a spoon or whisk. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Remove brisket from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325.
• Pour 1 cup wine and the tomato sauce over brisket. Cover pan as tightly as possible with foil and roast for 3 1/2 hours, turning once at 2 hours and again at 3 hours, each time carefully replacing foil.
• Transfer brisket to a platter. Allow sauce to settle for a moment in pan, then, using a slotted spoon, transfer to a blender, allowing fat to strain out. Purée until smooth, adding remaining 1/4 cup wine. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Slice brisket diagonally from thinnest end in 1/4-inch slices. Serve with sauce.

OVEN-BRAISED BEEF WITH TOMATO SAUCE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°.
• Coarsely chop tomatoes with juice in a food processor. Put roast in an ovenproof 4- to 5-quart heavy pot or a casserole dish with a lid. Pour tomatoes over roast and scatter garlic around it. Season with salt and pepper. Braise in middle of oven, covered, until very tender, 3 to 4 hours.
• Cut roast into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve with sauce and garlic.

BRAISED BEEF AND VEAL WITH TOMATO GRAVY

Steps:

• Cut beef and veal into 2-inch pieces. Combine flour and rustic rub in a small bowl. Working with 1 piece at a time, lightly coat meat with seasoned flour, then gently pound meat to 1/4 inch thick with flat side of a meat pounder, turning meat over occasionally.
• Heat oil in a wide 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté all meat, stirring constantly and turning over, until evenly and lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Add onion, bell pepper, and celery and cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits from bottom and side of pot, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes and garlic and cook, stirring frequently and scraping bottom and side of pot, 3 minutes. Add bay leaves, thyme, oregano, basil, salt, cayenne, black pepper, broth, and wine, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Discard bay leaves and stir scallions and parsley into grillades. Serve immediately.

BRAISED BEEF IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2. Put the slices of braising steak in a roasting tin. Halve then slice the onion, then add to the tin along with the chickpeas (drained and rinsed) and mushrooms. Add the tomatoes, stock, and sweet chilli sauce.
• Cover the tin with a double layer of foil, sealing it tightly, and cook for 4 hours.

VEAL SHANKS WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In large, deep skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat, and saute the onions, carrots, leeks and celery for about 10 minutes, or until they are soft but not browned. Remove skillet from heat.
• In a separate skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Dredge the veal shanks in flour, and shake off excess. Brown them a few minutes on each side. Remove shanks and place them in the first skillet over the vegetables.
• Deglaze the empty browning skillet with white wine, and then reduce liquid by half. Pour this over the shanks. Put the skillet containing veal shanks back over the heat, and add remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Bring liquid to a boil; let it boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Then test the meat; it should be tender.
• In a deep pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until done, 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness. Drain.
• Remove meat from the skillet, and keep it warm. Turn up heat, and reduce cooking liquid until it is fairly thick. Remove bay leaf, parsley sprigs, lemon strip and thyme sprigs. Pour sauce into a blender, and mix at low speed at first. Taste for seasoning. Then blend at high speed for about 10 seconds. Serve veal shanks with noodles on the side; pour sauce over both.
