Time 7h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 5-pound chuck blade roast, silver skin removed
Salt
1 pound slab pancetta, large dice
10 shallots, peeled and left whole
8 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
5 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
10 sprigs fresh thyme
2 fresh bay leaves (dry are o.k. too)
2 cups apple cider
48 ounces beer (preferably porter or IPA)
1 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
2 lemons, zest only

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the roast liberally with salt (about 3 tablespoons), and refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to overnight. Pull the meat out an hour before cooking to take the chill off of it. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, render the pancetta until slightly crispy. Remove and reserve. Dry off the meat with a paper towel and begin to brown it in the same pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side; remove and reserve.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, add the shallots, carrots, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and sweat until slightly caramelized and the vegetables start to release their aromas, about 4 minutes. Add the coriander, thyme and bay leaves, and continue to sweat for 1 minute.
  • Deglaze the pan with the cider, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to get all of the caramelized bits into the sauce.
  • Add the beer and bring to a simmer. Add the beef back in along with the pancetta. The liquid should be about three-quarters of the way up the meat. Baste the meat with the liquid, top with a lid and place in the oven until tender, basting every hour, for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Skim off any excess fat and gently remove the meat to a platter. Spoon the vegetables on top and garnish with the torn mint and lemon zest.

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.

POT ROAST



Pot Roast image

At Spoon and Stable, his Minneapolis restaurant, Gavin Kaysen cooks a version of his grandmother Dorothy's pot roast using paleron (or flat iron roast), the shoulder cut of beef commonly used in pot au feu, as well as housemade sugo finto, a vegetarian version of meat sauce made with puréed tomatoes and minced carrot, celery, onions and herbs. This recipe uses a chuck roast and tomato paste, both easier to find and still delicious.

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pound boneless beef chuck roast
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
4 tablespoons butter
2 medium red onions, cut into quarters
4 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 rutabaga, peeled and cut into 12 to 16 pieces, about a pound

1 head garlic, top cut off to expose cloves
3/4 cup tomato paste
2 bay leaves
3 sprigs rosemary
1 1/2 cups red wine, preferably cabernet
4 cups beef broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 340 degrees. Season meat generously with salt and pepper. On the stove top, heat oil in a large Dutch oven, or other heavy roasting pan with a lid, over medium-high heat. Sear the meat until a dark crust forms, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove meat to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the pan. Melt the butter and add the whole head of garlic and vegetables, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom of the pot, until the vegetables start to color, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, until it darkens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Add bay leaves, rosemary and wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a thick gravy consistency, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Return meat to the pot. Add broth, then cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2 hours 20 minutes.
  • Let roast sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes. Remove meat to a cutting board to slice. Discard bay leaves and rosemary stems. Squeeze any garlic cloves remaining in their skins into the stew and discard the skins. Serve slices of meat in shallow bowls along with the vegetables and a generous amount of cooking liquid ladled over top.

SIMON & GARFUNKEL ROAST CHICKEN



Simon & Garfunkel Roast Chicken image

The blend of flavors in this dish, and the aroma, is wonderful. It's a bit of work, but in my opinion, worth it.

Provided by Charmed

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 2h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (4 1/2 lb) whole chickens, about
salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage or 1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled
fresh ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
5 tablespoons olive oil
4 small russet potatoes
8 large shallots, peeled
1 3/4 cups chicken stock (approximately)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
2 tablespoons fresh minced parsley (or 2 tsp. dried)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Spray a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken and vegetables with non-stick vegetable spray.
  • In a small bowl, combine the parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, and a generous amount of pepper.
  • Set aside.
  • Quarter the potatoes (do not peel), then cut them into 1/2" pieces.
  • Set aside.
  • Rub some salt and about 2 tsp.
  • of the herb mixture mixture into the cavity of the chicken.
  • Then place one of the bay leaves into the cavity and tie the legs together so the chicken will hold its shape.
  • Rub some salt on the outside of the chicken and brush with some of the olive oil.
  • Sprinkle half of the remaining herb mixture all over the chicken and place in the baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and shallots with the remaining olive oil and herb mixture, and the remaining bay leaf, crumbled into a few pieces.
  • Mix well.
  • Spoon the vegetables evenly around the chicken in the baking dish and bake, uncovered, for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the juices run clear when pierced in the thickest part of the thigh and the legs can be moved easily.
  • While baking, occasionally baste the chicken and turn the vegetables.
  • When the chicken is done, remove the chicken and vegetables from the baking pan and arrange on a platter.
  • Cover with a tent of aluminum foil or a large domed pot cover to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
  • (If necessary, you can keep it warm in a very low oven.) SAUCE: Pour the pan juices into a large glass measuring cup and degrease.
  • (One way is to dab the grease that has risen to the top with clean, dry paper towels until it is soaked up.) Add enough stock to measure 2 cups.
  • Pour the balsamic vinegar into the baking pan and bring to a boil over medium heat on top of the stove, scraping up any browned bits.
  • (You can continue working in the baking pan or transfer the contents of the baking pan to a small saucepan at this point-- whichever is easiest for you).
  • Boil for about 4 minutes or until reduced to a glaze.
  • Add the stock mixture and continue boiling until liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup.
  • This should take about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, until it is all incorporated.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings to taste.
  • Stir in the parsley.
  • Slice the chicken and serve with the vegetables.
  • Spoon sauce on top.

Tips:

  • Sear the beef roast in a large pot over medium-high heat to brown it and add flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, and parsnips, for a more flavorful pot roast.
  • Add a cup of red wine or beef broth to the pot for extra richness and flavor.
  • Season the pot roast generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Cook the pot roast in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours or in a Dutch oven in the oven at 300°F for 3-4 hours.
  • Let the pot roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
