SIMPLE ROAST BEEF AND GRAVY



Simple Roast Beef and Gravy image

This is a simple way to get delicious comfort food with minimal effort. I like to make this when I have dinner guests in a casual setting and serve it with mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, and green beans. Because it's so simple you can spend a little more time on the side dishes. As a bonus, my children love it. I think the original recipe came from Taste of Home, but I've tweaked it.

ROAST BEEF WITH GRAVY



Roast Beef with Gravy image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

One 5-pound boneless chuck roast
Salt and black pepper
1 large red onion, sliced
1/4 cup cider vinegar
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a 9-by 13- by 2-inch pan or your oven's broiler pan with a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough to fully wrap the roast. The shiny side of the foil should be up. Sprinkle the roast on all sides with salt and pepper and place it in the center of the foil. Spread the onion slices over the top of the roast and pour the vinegar around it. Bring the ends of the foil together and fold several times, and then fold the ends together to completely enclose the roast. Pour about 1 inch of water into the pan around the foil-wrapped roast. Bake until the meat is fork tender and brown, 3 to 4 hours. Check the water level in the pan regularly during cooking and replenish it if necessary. If any juice seeps from the foil seals during roasting, save it to use in making the gravy. When the roast is done, remove the package from the baking pan and let it cool for a few minutes. Open the package carefully to preserve all the juices and transfer the meat to a platter. Cover with a tent of foil to keep it warm while you make the gravy. Pour the roasting juices into a measuring cup and let the fat rise to the surface. Skim off the fat, reserving 4 tablespoons in a saucepan and discarding the rest. (If the fat measures less than 4 tablespoons, add enough butter to make up the difference.) Measure the remaining defatted pan juices and reserve. If you have less than 2 cups, add water to make 2 cups. Add the flour to the fat in the saucepan and stir with a wire whisk to make a roux. Cook over medium-low heat until the flour is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the reserved pan juices and stir until thickened. Slice the roast or cut it into chunks (it will be very tender), and serve it with the gravy.

SUNDAY ROAST BEEF AND GRAVY



Sunday Roast Beef and Gravy image

Provided by Claire Robinson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (3 to 4-pound) bone-in rib-eye roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1/2 bottle drinking red wine, such as Malbec
5 cups beef stock

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Using a heavy hand, season rib-eye roast with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or a roasting pan. Place beef in hot pan and sear until deep golden brown on all sides. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare, making an approximate hour of cooking time. Remove the pan from oven and transfer the beef to a cutting board. Allow meat to rest for at least 15 minutes, tented with foil, before carving.
  • Gravy:
  • Pour off excess fat from the Dutch oven (reserve for Thyme for Yorkshire Pudding, if desired) and place on the stovetop over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft and brown, about 4 to 6 minutes. Deglaze the pot with 1/2 cup of the wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Add remaining wine, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add stock and simmer until reduced again by about half. Pass the gravy through a fine mesh sieve and return to the pan. Bring back to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until desired gravy consistency is reached. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary. Carve beef against the grain, into thin slices, and serve with gravy.

ROAST WITH GRAVY



Roast with Gravy image

Provided by Laura Tanner-Humphreys

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

Time 2h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (3 pound) beef sirloin tip roast
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups brewed coffee
1 ½ cups water
2 cubes beef bouillon
6 basil leaves
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup water
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in stock pot over medium heat; sear roast in the hot oil until slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove roast from pot and place on a plate. Cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Return seared roast to the stock pot; pour coffee and 1 1/2 cup water over roast. Add beef bouillon, basil leaves, 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper.
  • Bring broth to a boil; reduce heat to medium low, cover stock pot, and simmer until meat is falling apart, 2 to 3 hours. Remove and discard basil leaves. Transfer roast to a serving dish and cover with a lid or aluminum foil, keeping the broth in the stock pot over medium heat.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right cut of beef is crucial for a tender and flavorful roast. Look for well-marbled cuts like chuck roast, rump roast, or top sirloin roast.
  • Season the roast generously with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also add other spices and herbs like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Sear the roast in a hot skillet or Dutch oven before roasting. This helps to develop a rich, caramelized crust and lock in the juices.
  • Cook the roast in a preheated oven at a low temperature (around 300°F) for a long period of time. This slow cooking method helps to tenderize the meat and create a fall-apart texture.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the roast reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, or 155°F for well-done.
  • Let the roast rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Roasting a beef roast is a simple yet satisfying culinary experience that yields a tender, flavorful, and versatile dish. With careful selection of ingredients, proper seasoning, and precise cooking techniques, you can create a mouthwatering roast beef that will impress your family and friends. Whether you prefer a classic gravy or a more creative sauce, the possibilities are endless. So, fire up your oven and embark on a delightful roasting adventure, savoring the rich aromas and indulging in the delectable flavors of a perfectly executed roast beef.
