Sylvias Hearty Pot Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the meat with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Sear the meat all over, about 2 minutes per each side.
• Move the meat to the side (or remove it from the pot altogether if necessary), add the celery, carrot and onion and brown the vegetables, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for a minute or 2 longer. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Add the tomatoes, water and bay leaves (and the meat if you removed it). Bring the liquid to a simmer and taste for seasoning. Add more salt if necessary. Cover the pot and bake, basting the meat occasionally, until tender, about 3 hours.
• About 20 minutes before the meat is tender, bring a pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Add the shells, give it a stir and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta.
• To serve, you can pull the meat apart with a couple of forks right in the pot at the table. Serve with the pasta, plenty of sauce and vegetables, tossing them all together.

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:

• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Heat oil in ovenproof Dutch oven or large deep skillet on medium heat. Add meat; cook until evenly browned on both sides. Remove from pan. Add onions to drippings in pan; cook 2 min. or until evenly browned, stirring occasionally. Add broth, dressing mix and coffee; mix well. Return meat to pan; cover.
• Bake 1-1/2 hours. Add carrots and parsnips; bake, covered, 1 hour or until meat is very tender.
• Remove meat from pan; cut into slices. Serve with the vegetables and pan gravy.

Steps:

• Cover the beef roast with steak spice and let sit in fridge for a few hours.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Put roast in roaster. Mix water and gravy mix together and put in roaster. Roast at 300 degrees for a couple hours, (depending on what size of roast)and adding more water, if needed. About an hour before the roast is done add all the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Continue roasting for the hour. When done, serve with fresh buns and drizzle the juice on top of the veggies and meat. Absolutely delicious.
