Red Pot Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the roast in a roasting pan. Cover with the 2 cups water, ketchup, chili powder, sugar, and salt. Cook 1 hour in the preheated oven.
• Place the potatoes, onion, and carrots in the roasting pan with the roast and liquid. Continue cooking 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender and the internal temperature of the meat has reached a minimum of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Remove the roast and vegetables from the pan, and drain the remaining liquid into a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and water. Stir into the remaining roast liquid to make gravy.

Steps:

• Make 10 slits in roast, using a sharp knife.
• Insert a garlic slice into each slit.
• Rub roast with salt and pepper; dredge in flour.
• Brown roast on all sides in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
• Add 1 cup tomato sauce, red wine, and next 4 ingredients; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 3 1/2 hours or until roast is tender.
• Remove bay leaf.
• Transfer roast to a serving platter, reserving cooking liquid in pan.
• Add remaining tomato sauce, olives, and cognac; cook over medium heat 5 to 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle with parsley.
• Serve with roast.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
• Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
• Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
• If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
• With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
• Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
• Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a heavy ovenproof pot (with a lid) over high heat. Salt and pepper both sides of the roast, then sear it for about a minute on one side and a minute on the other side. Remove the meat to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium high and add the tomato paste, celery, garlic and onions. Stir it around and cook until the vegetables start to soften and the tomato paste releases its flavor, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the glorious wine, then stir and scrape the pot to get up all the browned bits on the bottom. Pour in the broth, then stir in the marmalade.
• Return the meat to the pot and top it all off with the potatoes, carrots, parsnips, rosemary and thyme. Push the veggies and herbs into the liquid, then put the lid on the pot, transfer to the oven and roast until the meat is fork-tender, 3 to 4 hours. (Mmmm. The liquid becomes something magical.)
• Transfer the roast to a serving dish (if it falls apart that's a good sign!) and place the vegetables all around it, then spoon on as much sauce from the pot as you'd like. Total, unmistakable, comfort food.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Bring broth to simmer in saucepan. Remove from heat; add mushrooms, cover, and let stand until soft, about 15 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to cutting board. Chop coarsely. Reserve mushrooms and broth separately.
• Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until brown on all sides, about 15 minutes total. Transfer beef to large plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon drippings from pot. Place pot over medium heat. Add onion and celery. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and sauté until beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, chopped marjoram, and reserved porcini mushrooms; sauté 1 minute. Using hands, crush tomatoes, 1 at a time, into pot. Cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently and scraping up browned bits from bottom of pot. Add wine; boil 5 minutes. Add reserved mushroom broth, leaving any sediment behind. Boil 5 minutes.
• Return beef and any accumulated juices to pot. Cover; transfer to oven. Cook 1 1/2 hours. Turn beef and continue cooking until tender, about 1 1/2 hours longer. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cool. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
• Transfer beef to cutting board; tent with foil. Spoon fat from surface of juices in pot. Bring juices to boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 4 cups, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut beef into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer to platter. Spoon juices over, garnish with marjoram sprigs, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle roast all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place in pan, and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Turn meat fat side up. Add stock, wine, if using, onions, garlic, bay leaves, and thyme. Stir in tomato paste. Bring to a simmer, cover; put in the oven, and roast for 3 hours. Add carrots and potatoes, and cook until vegetables are tender, about 1 hour more.
• Transfer the roast, carrots, and potatoes to a platter. With a spoon, skim the fat off the surface of the cooking liquid. Cut the roast into thick slices, and serve with the vegetables. Pass the pan juices separately.

Steps:

• Generously season beef chuck roast with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat; add vegetable oil. When oil is hot, brown roast on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove pan from heat.
• Spread chopped onions in slow cooker; place browned roast on top of onions.
• Spoon red chili paste into the hot skillet. Add cumin and coriander. Rub mixture into hot oil with the back of a spoon to blend. Place skillet over medium heat.
• Pour in chicken stock. Return heat to high. Stir in coconut milk. Add diced tomatoes with green chiles, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, tomato paste, and sliced ginger; stir in lime juice. Bring to a boil.
• Pour mixture over pot roast; add bay leaves. Stir to distribute ingredients in the slow cooker.
• Cover slow cooker and set to Low. Cook until fork tender, 7 to 8 hours.
• Remove meat from the broth. If desired, skim some fat from the surface of the broth.
• Place potatoes and bok choy into the broth; stir. Cover and turn heat to high. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.
• Blend cornstarch and water in a small dish until dissolved. Stir into broth mixture.
• Cut meat into large chunks and add to the slow cooker; stir. Cover slow cooker and cook on high until meat is heated through and broth is slightly thickened, about 12 minutes.
• Ladle into serving bowls and garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro.

Steps:

• Place roast in crock pot and season with pepper.
• Mix rest of ingredients together and pour over roast.
• Cover and cook on low 6-7 hours.
• Remove roast to rest on platter.
• Turn crock pot to high.
• Whisk cornstarch into juices to thicken.
• This makes a wonderfully tasty au jus, or over mashed potatoes.
• Enjoy!
• You can easily make additions to this: garlic, pearl onions, mushrooms etc.
