90 Minute Beer Brined Pot Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven. Brown the pot roast on all sides in the hot oil; remove from pan and set aside. Cook the onion and garlic in the hot oil until they begin to soften and turn brown, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, mushrooms, and potatoes to the pot; cook and stir until they begin to color, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix the flour into the vegetables; stir continuously for 1 minute. Pour the beef stock and beer into the mixture and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Add the Bay leaf, thyme, brown sugar, mustard, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Place the pot roast atop the entire mixture. Cover pot with lid.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the meat and vegetables are completely tender, about 2 1/2 hours.

Steps:

• The success of this recipe relies on two things: the use of a Dutch oven or similar heavy pot with a heavy bottom; and that you use a very large piece of aluminum foil to cover not only the roast, but also go up the sides of the pot and over the pot's edge. The cover must make contact with the foil all around the edge. This is what permits the pot roast to cook quickly.
• Brining: Put all of the brine ingredients into a zippered gallon-sized plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake it until the salt and sugar are dissolved and the beer has lost most of its carbonation.
• Add the pot roast, seal and shake to coat the roast.
• Open an inch long section of the zipper, expel as much air as you can, reseal. Place on counter for 45 minutes.
• Roast: Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Remove the roast from the brine and pat dry. (Discard the brine).
• Put the Dutch oven over medium high heat and add the oil. Brown both sides of the roast, about 5 minutes per side.'.
• Remove to a platter and season with salt and pepper.
• Add onions to the pot and saute until golden. Add the wine and simmer about 1 minute.Turn off the heat.
• Return the meat to the pot. Protecting your hands with oven mitts, place a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil over the meat, pressing down until it is covered from edge to edge, letting the excess foil drape over the edge of the pot. Press the foil against the pot.
• Cover the pot with its lid, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook until you hear the liquids bubbling.
• Place the pot in the oven and cook for 90 minutes - the roast should be dark brown at this point. Remove and let rest covered for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Carefully remove the foil - steam will billow up, I suggest that you pull away the foil from the side farthest away from you first - and remove the roast to a platter.
• Skim fat from the liquid, then place the pot over medium high heat.
• Whisk the flour into the chicken broth and stir into the liquid in the pot. (You can add parboiled veggies at this point to the gravy, according to the chef).
• While the gravy thickens, slice the roast against the grain into slices. Cover with gravy and serve.

Steps:

• Sprinkle roast evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Brown roast on all sides in hot oil in a large ovenproof Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion. Remove Dutch oven from heat.
• Stir together remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper, root beer, chili sauce and garlic until blended. Pour root beer mixture over roast mixture in Dutch oven.
• Bake covered at 300 degrees for 3 hours or until tender.

Steps:

• Heat a roasting pan over high heat, and coat bottom with oil. Sear meat on all sides. Remove from pan, and set aside.
• Reduce heat to low, saute onion, celery and garlic, scraping up browned bits. Cover, and cook on low for 15 minutes.
• Mix in cream of mushroom soup and beer. Wrap bay leaves and cloves in cheesecloth, tie with string, and add to pan. Place roast on top of vegetables, spooning some sauce over meat. Cover with foil, and place lid over foil to seal well. Reduce heat, and simmer 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove meat from pan, and slice. Return to the pan, and spoon sauce over. Cook an additional 30 minutes.
