Starling Diner Pot Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Sprinkle the roast with 3 tablespoons of the salt, rubbing into the grain and covering all sides. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 3 days.
• Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 275 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Cook the meat, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium-high and heat the remaining 4 tablespoons oil in the pot. Cook the onions and the remaining 1 tablespoon salt, stirring occasionally, until browned but not completely cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes (it's ok if the onion wedges break apart). Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until the paste is brick red and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bay leaves and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot, until slightly reduced and you can no longer smell the alcohol, about 4 minutes. Add the flour, stir to coat the onions and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the broth and pepper and bring to a boil.
• Nestle the meat and any accumulated juices into the onions. Arrange the carrots, celery and potatoes around the roast, pushing them into the onions and surrounding the beef. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook until the meat is very tender but still holds its shape and is not falling apart, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Let rest, covered, at least 45 minutes before serving.
• Transfer the roast to a cutting board and remove the twine with scissors, if necessary. Slice against the grain.
• Divide the vegetables among plates and arrange the sliced beef over top. Spoon sauce over the top garnish with parsley and chives.

Steps:

• The night before, season the chuck roast liberally with salt and pepper and refrigerate uncovered.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a large Dutch oven, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast again with salt and pepper and dust with flour, shaking off the excess. Sear on all sides, browning the meat evenly, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Remove the roast to a plate, then add the carrots, turnips and onion to the pot. Lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are caramelized, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic, thyme and bay leaves and cook another 2 minutes.
• Add the roast back to the pot, then add the beer and beef stock. Nestle the roast down among the vegetables so that it is mostly submerged in the liquid. Bring to a simmer. Cover, leaving the lid slightly ajar, and place in the oven to cook under very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, testing with a small knife for tenderness after 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in saucepot over medium-low heat, add the pearl onions and peas and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and peas are warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Once the roast is done, remove it from the pot and cut off the string. Discard the thyme and bay leaves. If you'd like the sauce thicker, place the Dutch oven back on the stove and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced to the desired thickness (you're looking for a rich and smooth sauce).
• To plate, slice the roast into thick slices. Place the vegetables on a platter, then the beef, then ladle the sauce over. Spoon the peas and onions on top and sprinkle with the chives and tarragon.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Clean the beef shoulder and then split it in half. Rub meat with garlic. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, and then add beef and sear until golden brown on all sides. Add cranberry juice and deglaze pan, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to remove any browned bits. Transfer beef and pan juices to a roasting pan with the Cranberry Sauce and Veal Stock. Roast for approximately 5 hours, or until meat is completely tender and pulling apart. Serve with Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
• Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan and slowly bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low or low and let sauce reduce until thickened and the sauce "comes together," about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Roast the bones in the oven for 1 hour. Put the roasted bones in a large pot and add water to cover. Add all other ingredients and simmer for 24 hours. Drain stock and discard bones.
• Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Over medium heat, bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender. Drain potatoes and add to a mixing bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and mash with an electric mixer or hand mixer to desired smoothness.
