Time 5h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

One 4-pound boneless chuck roast
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil, plus more if needed
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 bundle various fresh herbs, such as tarragon, rosemary, parsley, tied with twine
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup dry red wine, such as cabernet sauvignon
2 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
2 cups watercress
1 cup picked fresh parsley leaves
Lemon juice, for drizzling
Olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Risotto Cakes, for serving, recipe follows
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large shallots, minced (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup Arborio rice
3/4 cups dry white wine
5 ounces frozen peas, defrosted
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 1/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
4 ounces low-moisture shredded mozzarella
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using paper towels, pat the roast dry to help get a great crust on the meat. Sprinkle the roast generously with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and heat until glossy. Add the roast and brown on all sides. Remove and transfer to a cutting board or a large plate.
  • Add more oil to the pot if needed, along with the carrots, celery and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Add the fresh herb bundle and cook until the vegetables start to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking for another minute. Add 3/4 cup of the red wine and reduce by half, scraping up the seared bits and incorporating them into the juice. Then return the roast to the pot and add the beef broth. Bring the liquid to a simmer before covering with a tight-fitting lid and placing the pot in the oven. Allow the roast to cook until fork tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours, turning once halfway through.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer the roast to a large cutting board. Tent with foil while the roast rests. Placing the Dutch oven back on the stovetop over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1/4 cup of red wine to the liquid and reduce by half at a simmer, about 10 minutes. Strain the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Shred the roast into big chunks and toss with the jus.
  • For the herb salad: Toss the watercress and picked parsley with the lemon juice and olive oil to taste. Season with salt and pepper and top with the toasted almonds
  • Serve on top of the Risotto Cakes and top with the fresh herb salad.
  • For the risotto: In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth to a simmer. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots to the butter, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the Arborio rice and lightly toast, stirring to coat in the butter and shallots. Add the white wine, continuing to cook while stirring until the wine is absorbed. You should be able to run your spoon through the risotto and have the indentation stay.
  • Using a ladle, add enough of the warm chicken broth to cover the rice, stirring constantly over medium heat until the broth is completely absorbed. Repeat the process 3 more times, adding the broth in stages while continuing to stir. Once all of the chicken broth has been added and the rice is tender, add the peas, lemon juice and lemon zest and stir to combine.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan, mozzarella and season with salt and pepper. Cool the risotto by spreading it evenly over a sheet tray. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Once the risotto is cooled, form the mixture into burger-size patties, about 1-inch thick. Set up a dredging station with the flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another and panko breadcrumbs in another. Dip the rice patties into the flour, then into the eggs and finally coat them in the panko breadcrumbs.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1/2-inch vegetable oil over medium heat until a pinch of panko sizzles when dropped in the oil. Working in batches of 2 to 3, fry the risotto cakes until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side (use a fish spatula under the cake and the back of a fork on top to help stabilize while flipping). Transfer to a wire rack, which will help them stay crispy. Season with salt and they are ready to serve. Yield: 6 large cakes.

SUNDAY ROAST BEEF AND GRAVY

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.

SUNDAY DINNER SAVORY POT ROAST BEEF

I came up with this when I was tired of the typical onion soup flavored roast beef recipe, but not in the mood for the robust red wine version I use. My kids liked it a lot (they range in age from 1 to 14 and even the baby ate it up!) I serve it with scalloped potatoes and a green salad. We like it for Sunday Dinner after church.

  • Heat oil in a deep oven casserole dish or pot, that has a tight-fitting lid.

  • Put allspice, cinnamon, bay leaves and shallots in the hot oil and stirfry until shallots begin to brown; do not burn.
  • Pour in beef broth and stir, scraping sides and bottom of pan.
  • Return roast and any drippings that collected on the platter to the pot, turn once, cover tightly and put in oven (I don't even peek for the first 2 hours).

  • Remove roast to serving platter.
  • Pick out the 6 allspice berries, 2 bay leaves and cinamon stick, skim fat off and pour broth over the roast and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good choices for pot roast. These cuts are tough but flavorful, and they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before braising: Browning the beef in a hot skillet before adding it to the pot roast helps to develop flavor and color. It also helps to seal in the juices, which makes the beef more tender.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the pot roast its flavor, so it's important to use a flavorful liquid. Beef broth, red wine, and beer are all good options.
  • Add vegetables to the pot roast: Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to the pot roast. Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all good choices.
  • Cook the pot roast low and slow: Pot roast is a dish that takes time to cook. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will be. Cook the pot roast on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.

Conclusion:

Pot roast is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a Sunday dinner. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and effort, you can make a pot roast that is both delicious and impressive. So next time you're looking for a special meal to make, give pot roast a try.
