Bottom Round Beef Roast And Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Place sliced onions in the bottom of a Dutch oven or stock pot. Season the roast with salt and pepper, and place on top of the onions. Add the vinegar and bay leaf to the pan, and heat over high heat to get it simmering. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3 to 4 hours. Try not to take the lid off while cooking.
• When the roast is done, remove it from the pan to a serving platter. Mix the flour into the water, and pour into the drippings from the roast. Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until thickened. Carve roast, and serve with the pan gravy.

Steps:

• 1. Begin by setting your round roast in a roasting pan so it can come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• 2. Using a mortar & pestle, begin grinding the garlic cloves, sea salt, rosemary, thyme, pepper & onion flake together. Add olive oil a little at a time to make a paste. Grind until well pulverized! Add as much olive oil as needed to make a semi-thin paste.
• 3. Proceed to smear this on all surfaces of the roast. Smear a generous portion on the layer of fat, which will melt into the roast, making it oh-so-juicy & delicious. Make sure round roast is fat side up!
• 4. For the Oven: Place roast in 450-degree oven for 20 minutes. This high heat will sear the edges & seal in the juices, making the roast tender & juicy. Immediately, your kitchen is going to smell so good! But don't be tempted to open the oven! After 20 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Roast for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on how rare or done you like your beef. For medium-rare roast: remove when internal temperature reaches 135 degrees. Let roast stand/rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to settle within the meat, leaving it so tender! The internal temperature will rise approx. 10-15 degrees while it is resting so, keep that in mind regarding how well or how rare you like your beef. This is a great time to start your gravy.
• 5. Cook in the Crock Pot: Follow same instructions in steps 1, 2 and 3. Low setting; allow 6-8 hours, or until the roast literally falls apart. High setting; allow 4-6 hours, or until it literally falls apart. After removing roast, mix 1-3 tablespoons of flour with drippings (depending on how much your round roast has yielded) and set on high until it reaches gravy consistency.

Steps:

• 1. First season roast. Take salt and pepper and rub on roast on all sides generously. Then put 2 tablespoon of shortening into a cast iron dutch oven. Place roast in grease and brown on all side almost to the point of burning it. Don't worry that is what gives it the flavor. Once you have browned it, leave in pan. Add enough water to come halfway up on the roast. Cover and cook for an hour. At this time prepare you vegetables. Once the roast has cooked an hour on that side take meat fork and turn over in the pot, being careful not to splash water. Make sure still half way up on roast. Add bag of carrots, quartered onion, and the potatoes peeled and cut in half. Cook covered till roast is medium cooked. Can use meat thermometer to check doneness you like. Remove meat on to platter, cover with foil, let rest while making gravy. Take out all vegetables and put in covered dishes to keep warm. Put 3 tablespoons of flour in a glass and pour 1/2 cup of hot water in glass. Stir until flour disolved. Bring pot to roiling boil and add flour mixture while stirring. Once the mixture starts to thicken turn heat down and keep stirring while cooking the gravy. Once it gets to the consistancy you like pour through stainer into gravy bowl. Time to slice the roast and call everyone to the table.
