Twomeatpotroast Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix together the salt, pepper, and garlic powder ( it makes for a better distribution of the seasonings).
• Sprinkle beef with the mixed seasoning on all sides.
• Brown the chuck roast in the oil on all sides (I use my Le Creuset 2-Quart Round French Oven).
• Add the onion to the pot and saute until light golden color.
• Dissolve the beef base in hot water.
• Pour the resulting broth around the roast in the pot.
• Bring the broth up to a bubble, immediately cover, and turn down the heat to a simmer.
• Cook at a simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
• Remove meat from pan and keep warm by covering with foil.
• Mix the flour and water together to create a slurry.
• Add the gravy master to simmering broth.
• Slowing pour the slurry into the pan while stirring with a whisk to ensure no lumps form.
• Simmer for a couple of minutes to cook the flour.
• Taste and correct seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and garlic powder blend if needed.
• NOTE: The salt, pepper, garlic powder blend is actually Paula Deen's House Seasoning, see recipe #57340.

Steps:

• Place steaks in an ungreased 2-1/2-qt. baking dish. Top with carrots, potatoes, celery and onion. Combine the tomatoes, broth, garlic, soup mix and seasonings; pour over vegetables. Cover and bake at 350° for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours or until meat and vegetables are tender.

Steps:

• Prepare the roasts by trimming off any excess fat. Make slits with a sharp knife deep enough to insert garlic slivers fully. Repeat stuffing garlic into and around both beef and pork roasts.
• Season both roasts generously with salt and pepper or Creole-Cajun seasoning.
• In a heavy 8-quart Dutch oven or cast iron Dutch oven, heat the oil and brown the meat, one piece at a time on all sides. Browning the roasts well produces a darker and richer gravy. Drain off the fat. Return both pieces of the meat to the Dutch oven.
• Add to the Dutch oven the bay leaf and beef boullion. Pour into the bottom of the Dutch oven 1 1/2 cups water, cover and simmer, LOW, for 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Turn occasionally and check for "near" doneness. You have 30 minutes left -- next step.
• Add the chopped onion, potatoes and carrots. Cover and simmer an additional 30 minutes or until tender.
• Remove roasts and vegetables to a platter. For every one cup of liquid in the Dutch oven, combine 2 tablespoons flour with 2 tablespoons water. Stir flour mixture into the liquid, scraping bottom of browned bits and simmering over medium heat until the gravy is smooth and has thickened. Taste gravy and season with salt and pepper as needed. At this point, I slice the roasts and return it to the pot with gravy along with the onions and/or carrots and potatoes.
• Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• Season beef with salt and pepper; coat with flour. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef in oil 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides.
• Place beef, onion and celery in baking dish. Pour broth over beef and vegetables. Cover; bake 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn beef over; add carrots and potatoes. Cover; bake 1 hour. Uncover; turn beef over and bake 30 to 35 minutes or until beef and vegetables are tender and broth is slightly thickened. Skim excess fat from broth, and serve.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan; add broth and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until almost tender. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute onion in oil until tender; add to potatoes. , In a small bowl, combine the flour, milk and evaporated milk until smooth; add to potato mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in the cream cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until cream cheese is melted and potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Garnish with Swiss cheese.,

Steps:

• Season both sides of roast with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat 1 minute. Add roast; cook 5 minutes on each side, or until browned on both sides. Remove from pan; cover to keep warm. Reduce heat to medium.
• Add onion, carrot and celery to same pan; cook 5 minutes, or until onion is tender, stirring frequently. Add tomatoes with their liquid and broth; stir in all the browned bits from bottom of pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Return roast to pan. Cover pan with lid; reduce heat to low.
• Simmer 3 to 3-1/2 hours, or until roast is fork tender. Remove roast from pan; let stand 10 minutes before portioning.
• Serve half of roast and sauce for this meal. Use the remaining roast to make Pulled Barbecue Beef Sandwiches and the remaining sauce to make Tuscan-style Penne Pasta.

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:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy pot or cast-iron Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown chuck roast in the hot oil completely, 5 to 8 minutes per side; season with salt and black pepper and transfer to a platter. Reserve oil in pot.
• Cook and stir onion and garlic in the oil until onions are golden, about 15 minutes. Stir beef stock, tomatoes, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, and bay leaves into onions and garlic; bring to a boil and place chuck roast into the mixture. Cover pot.
• Cook in the preheated oven until meat is very tender, 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Scatter carrot slices around the beef and bring to a boil over medium heat; return to oven for 30 more minutes. Distribute potatoes around the beef and vegetables, bring to a boil again over medium heat, and bake until potatoes are tender, about 30 more minutes.
• Transfer beef to a serving platter, cover loosely with a tent of aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
• Stir mushrooms into pan drippings; bring to a simmer over low heat. Whisk cornstarch into cold water in a small bowl and stir into the drippings. Season with celery salt, basil, and thyme. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaves. Slice beef; serve on a platter surrounded by vegetables. Pour gravy over beef.
