POT ROAST CARBONNADE



Pot Roast Carbonnade image

From Ten Dollar Dinners on the Food Network. I made this alongside baked potatoes but you could easily add potatoes to the mix before putting in the oven and you would have more of a one pot meal. This isn't particularly saucy so don't think stew. The flavor is wonderful and the meat is so tender.

Time 2h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb thick slab bacon, cut into large pieces
2 medium onions, sliced
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs beef chuck, cut into large cubes
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
12 ounces beer (dark or light, depending on your preference)
5 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
6 prunes
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 cup beef stock

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat, add the bacon and cook until it renders its fat and almost becomes crispy. Remove it with a slotted spoon to a plate.
  • Add the onions to the bacon fat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook over low heat until they are deep in color and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the onions to a plate, leaving as much fat in the pot as possible.
  • Add the vegetable oil to the pan along with the bacon fat. Raise the heat to high. Season the beef liberally with salt and pepper and sear until nicely browned on both sides. Once the meat is browned, remove to a plate.
  • Sprinkle the flour into the pan drippings. Cook for 1 minute before deglazing the pan with the beer.
  • Add back the beef, onions, and bacon to the pan. Also add the carrots, prunes, thyme, and beef stock. Cover the pot and put it in the oven to braise until the beef is tender, about 2 hours.

Tips for Making the Best Carbonnade de Boeuf:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: The best cuts for carbonnade de boeuf are chuck roast, blade roast, or short ribs. These cuts have a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which will help to keep the meat moist and tender during the long cooking process.
  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat before braising it will help to develop flavor and color. Be sure to brown the meat in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and steam instead of brown.
  • Use a good quality beer: The beer that you use in your carbonnade de boeuf will contribute significantly to the flavor of the dish. Choose a beer that you enjoy drinking, and that has a malty flavor. Avoid using light beers or beers that are too hoppy.
  • Don't skimp on the spices: Carbonnade de boeuf is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount of spices. Common spices used in carbonnade de boeuf include cloves, nutmeg, thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
