Time 4h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 lbs roast (I use whatever...round, pot roast....whatever is on sale!)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
pepper
garlic powder
1 envelope onion soup mix

Steps:

  • Place roast in roaster pan and sprinkle with vinegar, pepper, garlic powder and the onion soup mix.
  • Cover roaster and bake at 325º-350º for at least 3-4 hours.
  • The last hour of cooking I remove the lid to brown the roast a bit.
  • Then with the drippings, I make gravy (remove roast and cover with foil. Heat the drippings on the stove over fairly high heat. Add more water if necessary, and bring to a boil. Whisk in a slurry of flour and water (fairly thick) stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Adjust salt and pepper.).

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds rump roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup red wine
One 28-ounce can tomato product (I'm using crushed tomatoes)
1 cup liquid (I'm using water)
2 bay leaves
1 pound dry pasta (I'm using shells)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Season the meat with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Sear the meat all over, about 2 minutes per each side.
  • Move the meat to the side (or remove it from the pot altogether if necessary), add the celery, carrot and onion and brown the vegetables, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for a minute or 2 longer. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Add the tomatoes, water and bay leaves (and the meat if you removed it). Bring the liquid to a simmer and taste for seasoning. Add more salt if necessary. Cover the pot and bake, basting the meat occasionally, until tender, about 3 hours.
  • About 20 minutes before the meat is tender, bring a pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Add the shells, give it a stir and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta.
  • To serve, you can pull the meat apart with a couple of forks right in the pot at the table. Serve with the pasta, plenty of sauce and vegetables, tossing them all together.

Tips:

  • To achieve fall-apart tender beef roast, braise it low and slow in liquid, such as broth or water, for an extended period, typically several hours.
  • Use a Dutch oven or slow cooker for optimal braising results, as these cooking methods provide even heat distribution and retain moisture.
  • Sear the beef roast in a hot skillet before braising to develop a flavorful crust and lock in the natural juices.
  • Enhance the flavor of the braising liquid by adding aromatic vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions, as well as herbs and spices such as garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Deglaze the pan with red wine or beef broth before adding the braising liquid to extract caramelized bits and create a rich, flavorful sauce.
  • Cook the beef roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 160°F (71°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
  • Allow the beef roast to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving to redistribute the juices and ensure a tender, moist texture.
  • Serve the beef roast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

In conclusion, these recipes provide a comprehensive guide to preparing tender and flavorful beef roast using various cooking methods.
