Categories     main-dish

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 3- to 5-pound chuck roast
2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil
2 whole onions, peeled and halved
6 to 8 whole carrots, unpeeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup red wine, optional
3 cups beef broth
2 or 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 or 3 sprigs fresh thyme

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.

A different sort of roast. Slightly sweet with an unusual blend of spices. This was one of my son's favorite meals when he was young.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 lbs chuck roast or 3 lbs beef brisket
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, sliced
1 clove garlic, diced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup red wine (or cider vinegar)
1 cup water
4 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Combine nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper; rub into meat.
  • Heat pressure cooker, add olive oil and brown meat well on all sides.
  • Add onion, garlic, brown sugar dissolved in wine, water, and bay leaves.
  • Close.

  • Place pressure regulator on vent pipe and cook 35 minutes with pressure regulator rocking slowly.
  • Let pressure drop of its own accord.
  • Or cook at 300 degrees for about 4 hours in a Dutch oven, or cook 8 hrs on low in a crock pot.
  • (This is my preferred method.).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pot roast will be. Look for well-marbled chuck roast or short ribs, and use fresh vegetables and herbs.
  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat adds flavor and helps to keep it moist. Be sure to brown the meat in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until it is well browned on all sides.
  • Use a good quality red wine: The red wine adds flavor and depth to the pot roast. Use a wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables: The vegetables in this recipe can be varied depending on what you have on hand. Try adding carrots, celery, parsnips, or turnips.
  • Let the pot roast cook low and slow: The longer the pot roast cooks, the more tender it will be. Cook the pot roast on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.

Conclusion:

Alfred Lunt's Swedish Royal Pot Roast is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pot roast is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are perfectly cooked. This recipe is sure to impress your guests.
