Time 6h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (3 1/2) pound boneless beef chuck roast
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped, or to taste
2 ½ cups beef stock
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 bay leaves
¾ pound carrots, cut diagonally into 1-inch-thick slices
1 pound small red potatoes, quartered lengthwise
1 (6 ounce) jar mushrooms, or more to taste
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
1 ½ tablespoons cold water
1 pinch celery salt, or to taste
1 pinch dried basil, or to taste
1 pinch dried thyme, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy pot or cast-iron Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown chuck roast in the hot oil completely, 5 to 8 minutes per side; season with salt and black pepper and transfer to a platter. Reserve oil in pot.
  • Cook and stir onion and garlic in the oil until onions are golden, about 15 minutes. Stir beef stock, tomatoes, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, and bay leaves into onions and garlic; bring to a boil and place chuck roast into the mixture. Cover pot.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until meat is very tender, 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Scatter carrot slices around the beef and bring to a boil over medium heat; return to oven for 30 more minutes. Distribute potatoes around the beef and vegetables, bring to a boil again over medium heat, and bake until potatoes are tender, about 30 more minutes.
  • Transfer beef to a serving platter, cover loosely with a tent of aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Stir mushrooms into pan drippings; bring to a simmer over low heat. Whisk cornstarch into cold water in a small bowl and stir into the drippings. Season with celery salt, basil, and thyme. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaves. Slice beef; serve on a platter surrounded by vegetables. Pour gravy over beef.

PERFECT POT ROAST WITH VEGETABLES AND GRAVY



Perfect Pot Roast With Vegetables and Gravy image

I have always loved comfort food and a well prepared pot roast tops the list. There are more recipes for pot roast than there are pots too cook them. Many of those recipes, however, produce dry, pasty-looking meat and vegetables that just don't quite make it. I've taken the best from lots of different techniques and come up with what I think is a recipe you'll enjoy time and again. Quite a few different cuts of beef are "suitable" for pot roast: bottom round, rump and front cut brisket to name a few. A blade cut chuck roast is far and away the best choice, however. It's fattier than the others and during the long, slow cooking process called braising, the chuck produces the most mouth watering end result. Be sure to brown the roast and vegetables before braising. This improves the flavor and also enhances the appearance as the high heat used during browning carmelizes the sugars in the meat. The quantity of each of the ingredients can be varied a little to suit your individual taste. Accordingly, the timing suggested is only a guide and you should test for doneness as you begin to approach the end of the cooking time. This recipe calls for cooking in a crock pot. You can also use a large heavy Dutch oven and cook in the oven.

Time 8h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 -5 lbs blade cut chuck roast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided
2 medium golden onions, cut in wedges
2 -3 carrots, cut into 2 inch sections
4 medium boiling potatoes, quartered
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup beef stock or 1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • In a large skillet (not non-stick) heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the roast and cook, turning often, until browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the roast to a plate.
  • Add more oil to the skillet if necessary and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions, carrots and potatoes and cook, stirring often, until the they are slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook.
  • Transfer the vegetables to a slow-cooker, add the bay leaf and then place th roast on top of the vegetables.
  • Add the water or other liquid to the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour into the slow cooker.
  • Cover and slow-cook until the roast is tender, perhaps 8 hours on low (200 degree) setting.
  • Transfer the roast and vegetables to a platter using a slotted spoon and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Skim the fat from the surface of the cooking liquid.
  • Remove the bay leaf.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over very low heat.
  • Add the flour and let bubble, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the cooking liquid and bring to a simmer.
  • Cook, whisking often, until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the roast crosswise across the grain. Serve with the vegetables and gravy.

ONE EASY POT ROAST WITH VEGETABLES WITH THE PERFECT GRAVY TIPS



One Easy Pot Roast With Vegetables With the Perfect Gravy Tips image

I was used to my mothers 'old fashioned' way of making pot roast. Throw a chuck roast in the crock pot, toss in a few veggies, pour a little water in the bottom- and for the finishing touch add a cup of onion soup on top.. While good- and a fond memory of my childhood.. I was ready for something a little more modern and way more flavorful. THIS IS IT. Dare I say finger licking good. The roast is very flavorful and the 'gravy' from the red wine, beef broth is, seriously, delicious. You may want to add a few more carrots and a few more potatoes.. but the recipe as is was great for me. Enjoy- you cant go wrong with this one!! Easy is the operative word here. I like chuck roast for this beef pot roast, but brisket, 7-bone roast, and other tougher cuts also work well. The slow braising method results in a remarkably tender and flavorful meal with natural pan gravy. Potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, garlic, and sweet onions cook with the roast for a built-in side dish.

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (2 -3 lb) boneless chuck roast (or any tougher beef cut such as brisket, 7-bone roast, etc.)
Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano, crushed
fresh ground black pepper
8 baby red new potatoes, scrubbed
4 carrots, peeled, trimmed and cut into 4-inch lengths
8 ounces baby portabella mushrooms, brushed clean and trimmed
6 garlic cloves, peeled and cut into halves
1/2 large sweet onion, sliced very thin
vegetable cooking spray
1 (8 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1/4 cup red wine
3/4 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste (see Note)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325*F.
  • Rub beef chuck roast with Worcestershire sauce on both sides.
  • Combine onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and dried oregano. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly on both sides of roast. Add fresh ground black pepper to taste. Place seasoned chuck roast in the center of a large foil-lined roasting pan.
  • Arrange new potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic around roast. Separate sweet onion slices and arrange on top of beef and vegetables. Spray top of vegetables with vegetable oil. Sprinkle dry onion soup mix evenly on top of vegetables and meat.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine red wine, beef broth, and tomato paste until smooth. Pour mixture down the side of the pan, tilting to distribute evenly over the bottom. Cover pan with foil, crimping around the edges to seal tight.
  • Bake for 2-1/2 to 3 hours, until meat is tender. Slice pot roast and serve with roasted vegetables and pan gravy.
  • • My Notes: Tomato paste is sold in tubes (like toothpaste) for those times when you just need a tablespoon or two. Refrigerate after opening, and it will last a couple of months. If you need to open a can of tomato paste for this recipe, the excess can be easily frozen. Measure by the tablespoon into ice cube trays, freeze until solid, pop them out, then seal in a zip-top bag and store in the freezer.
  • • Perfect Gravy Tips and Hints:.
  • With a few tricks, you can turn out the best gravy ever. Below you will find tips and hints for making gravy and fixing it when or if things go wrong.
  • 1• Lumpy gravy: Pour into blender and give it a whir for no more than thirty to sixty seconds. Do not overblend. Pour back into pot and reheat.
  • 2• Instant mashed potato flakes will work as a thickener for gravy and produces no lumps. You may need extra salt.
  • 3• Too salty: Try adding a pinch or brown sugar or a 1/4 teaspoon vinegar.
  • 4• Use flours that are low in protein and high in starch, such as cake flour, pastry flour or all-purpose flour. This will help prevent any "skin" from forming on gravy as it sits.
  • 5• When deglazing the pan, be sure to scrape up those bits clinging to the bottom of the pan. They increase the flavor of the gravy.
  • 6• Constarch has twice the thickening power of flour.
  • 7• Arrowroot has slightly more than twice the thickening power of flour.
  • 8• Avoid making gravy in an aluminum (anodized is okay) pan as it can turn the gravy gray.
  • 9• Liquid gravy browner can be added to gravy to improve color.
  • 10• When adding liquid to the roux, add it slowly and whisk constantly to avoid lumping.
  • 11• Whisking in a tablespoon of butter of heavy cream just before serving will give gravy a rich, satiny texture.
  • 12• Adding a teaspoon of instant coffee granules or cocoa per two cups gravy enriches the flavor as well as adds color.
  • 13• Cooked meat stores and freezes better in its gravy. The gravy keeps the meat from drying out.

  • Cover the roast pan with another interlocking roast pan of the same size and roast for 2 hours. Then turn over and cook for another 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Separate the vegetables from the natural gravy stock. Pour the stock into a heavy gauge pot. Scrape the bottom of the roast pan and add to stock. You should have about 3 quarts of stock, if not add bouillon broth.

In a large skillet, add enough vegetable oil so that when melted it will equal about 1/8-inch in bottom. Oil must be very hot before using or pancakes will turn out greasy. Spoon batter into pan about 2 ounce ovals. When brown, place on paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Brown the roast on all sides in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add Vegetables: Add a variety of vegetables to the pot along with the roast. Carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and parsnips are classic choices. Use a flavorful Liquid: Braise the roast in a flavorful liquid such as beef broth, red wine, or a combination of both. You can also add herbs, spices, and seasonings to enhance the flavor. Cook Low and Slow: Braise the roast on low heat for several hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and type of roast. Make a Roux: To thicken the gravy, make a roux by whisking together equal parts flour and butter in a small bowl. Add the roux to the pot and stir until the gravy thickens. Season to Taste: Once the gravy has thickened, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
