Time 4h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 lbs roast (I use whatever...round, pot roast....whatever is on sale!)

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.).

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Opt for cuts that are suitable for braising, such as chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs. These cuts have a good amount of marbling, which means they'll stay tender and juicy during the cooking process.
  • Brown the Beef: Before braising, brown the beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. This step adds flavor and helps develop a rich, caramelized crust.
  • Add Aromatics and Vegetables: Along with the beef, add a variety of aromatics and vegetables to the pot. Common choices include onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and herbs like thyme or rosemary. These ingredients add depth of flavor to the braising liquid.
  • Use a Good Quality Braising Liquid: The liquid you use for braising is crucial. Options include beef broth, red wine, beer, or a combination of these. Choose a liquid that complements the flavor of the beef and the other ingredients in the dish.
  • Braise Low and Slow: The key to tender, fall-apart beef is low and slow cooking. Braise the beef for at least 2-3 hours, or until the meat is easily pierced with a fork. Covering the pot helps retain moisture and maintain a steady temperature.
  • Season to Taste: Before serving, taste the braising liquid and adjust the seasoning accordingly. You may need to add salt, pepper, or additional herbs and spices to enhance the flavor.

Conclusion:

Braised beef is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta, or use it in tacos, sandwiches, or stews, you're sure to impress your taste buds. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can easily create a delicious and comforting braised beef dish at home. So, gather your ingredients, fire up the stove, and get ready to savor the rich, tender goodness of braised beef!
