Kittencals Pot Roast Marinade And Tenderizer Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine all ingredients except the meat; mix/whisk until very well combined.
• You may now transfer the marinade to a large resealable plastic bag if desired or leave in a large bowl.
• Pierce the meat all over with a fork.
• Add the meat to the marinade then turn to coat.
• Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Remove meat and discard the marinade.
• Leave the beef or the pork sit out on the counter and bring almost room temperature, this will relax the meat fibers and make for a more tender juicy steak or cut of beef or pork (this is a very important step!).
• Grill or oven-broil to desired doneness.

Steps:

• In a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, combine the first eight ingredients. Cut roast in half; add to marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate overnight., Place roast and marinade in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat is tender. Remove roast to a serving platter and keep warm. Pour cooking juices into a 2-cup measuring cup; discard whole cloves, In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir in 1-1/2 cups cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with the roast.

Steps:

• Pierce meat with a fork all over.
• Sprinkle liberally with powdered tenderizer, then leave sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes in a large bowl.
• In the meantime, in a smaller bowl whisk together minced onion (or onion powder (if using) thyme, marjoram, red wine, wine vinegar, oil, lemon juice and minced garlic (if using) and black pepper.
• After the 30 minutes, pour the marinade over the roast in the bowl; rub in with hands to coat well.
• Place the roast in a large heavy-duty ziploc freezer bag.
• Pour the marinade from the bowl over the roast and close and seal bag.
• Turn the bag several times to coat.
• Place into a large bowl and refrigerate overnight (turning several times during refrigeration time).
• When ready to cook discard the marinade, and leave the roast out at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking (this is important, it relaxes the meat fibers which creates a more tender roast!).
• Season with salt and pepper, then cook as desired.

Steps:

• Season the roast all over generously with seasoning salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a small roasting pan that has a lid.
• Brown the roast well on ALL sides, this should take about 20 minutes; remove to a plate (make certain to really brown the roast well, it will add to the flavor of the gravy).
• To the same roaster pan add in onions, garlic, dried thyme, basil and dried chili peppers (if using) and the bay leaf; saute, stirring with a wooden spoon for about 5 minutes.
• Add in tomato paste and stir with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Add in the wine, consumme, broth and onion soup mix (do not add in any salt as yet!) bring to a boil and simmer on top of the stove for 5 minutes.
• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the roast fat-side up in the broth mix and cover the roaster.
• Cook in the oven for about 1 hour.
• Remove from oven and turn the roast onto the other side.
• At this point, add in small potatoes, chopped carrots and/or small fresh button mushrooms if desired, and season the gravy with salt if needed.
• Place back in the oven to cook for another 1-1/2 hours, or until roast is tender (if the roast is not tender yet, turn over yet again and place back in the oven , cook until tender).
• Remove the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
• Remove any fat from on top of the gravy and serve with roast.
• **NOTE** If you prefer a thick gravy, mix 2-3 tablespoons COLD water with 2 tablespoons flour to make a paste add to the simmering gravy and stir until thickened.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
• Shape into small meatballs (at this point you can place on a jelly-roll/baking sheet and freeze to use later, or cover with plastic wrap refrigerate up to 24 hours before using).
• Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs.
• Continue cooking in the simmering sauce for another 20 minutes (depending on how fast your sauce is simmering 40 minutes total should fully cook the meatballs).
• After the 40 minutes cooking time continue cooking your sauce with the meatballs in for as long as desired.
• **note** you may also bake the meatballs at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked through.

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl.

• Cover tightly and place the steaks in the refrigerator for minimum 4 hours or even better for 24 hours.
