Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

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.

This was often served on Monday for supper after we had roast beef for Sunday dinner. Mom would extend it with more potatoes if there was not a lot of beef left.

Provided by Kathie Carr @kathiecc

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoon(s) butter
1/2 cup(s) chopped onion
3 cup(s) left over, cooked roast beef, shredded
1 1/2 cup(s) cubed potatoes (not cooked)
2 teaspoon(s) worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
1 cup(s) milk
1/2 cup(s) left over roast beef gravy (or more milk if you have no gravy)

Steps:

  • In large skillet, cook onion and shredded beef in butter until onion is tender crisp and beef is just a bit crispy. Add remaining ingredients except milk and gravy. Whisk milk and gravy together until smooth. Add to skillet. (If there is no leftover gravy, just increase milk to 1 1/2 cups.) Stir all together and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for approximately 20 minutes or until potatoes are done. The liquid should be absorbed. NOTE: If you have leftover potatoes you can use cooked potatoes. Just reduce liquid by 1/2 cup and reduce final cooking time to merely heating the dish completely before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Select a well-marbled cut of beef, such as chuck roast, rump roast, or bottom round roast, for a tender and flavorful roast beef.
  • Proper Seasoning: Generously season the beef with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices of your choice before roasting. This will enhance the beef's natural flavors.
  • Sear the Beef: Sear the beef in a hot pan before roasting. This will create a flavorful crust and help seal in the juices.
  • Slow and Low Roasting: Roast the beef at a low temperature (around 300°F) for a longer period of time. This will help tenderize the beef and prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the beef has reached the desired internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F.
  • Rest the Beef: After roasting, let the beef rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast beef.

Conclusion:

Preparing a delectable roast beef is a rewarding culinary experience that can be enjoyed by family and friends. By selecting the right cut of beef, seasoning it properly, searing it before roasting, and cooking it at a low temperature, you can achieve a tender and flavorful roast beef that melts in your mouth.
