Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound ground beef
1 egg
¼ cup bread crumbs
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup thinly sliced onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon cooking sherry

POT-ROAST BEEF WITH FRENCH ONION GRAVY



Pot-roast beef with French onion gravy image

Silverside and topside are cheaper and leaner cuts of meat, well-suited to slow-cooking. The stock and juices make a great sauce when combined with caramelised onions

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1kg silverside or topside of beef with no added fat
2 tbsp olive oil
8 young carrots, tops trimmed (but leave a little, if you like)
1 celery stick, finely chopped
200ml white wine
600ml rich beef stock
2 bay leaves
500g onion
a few thyme sprigs
1 tsp butter
1 tsp light brown or light muscovado sugar
2 tsp plain flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Rub the meat with 1 tsp of the oil and plenty of seasoning. Heat a large flameproof casserole dish and brown the meat all over for about 10 mins. Meanwhile, add 2 tsp oil to a frying pan and fry the carrots and celery for 10 mins until turning golden.
  • Lift the beef onto a plate, splash the wine into the hot casserole and boil for 2 mins. Pour in the stock, return the beef, then tuck in the carrots, celery and bay leaves, trying not to submerge the carrots too much. Cover and cook in the oven for 2 hrs. (I like to turn the beef halfway through cooking.)
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the onions. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and stir in the onions, thyme and some seasoning. Cover and cook gently for 20 mins until the onions are softened but not coloured. Remove the lid, turn up the heat, add the butter and sugar, then let the onions caramelise to a dark golden brown, stirring often. Remove the thyme sprigs, then set aside.
  • When the beef is ready, it will be tender and easy to pull apart at the edges. Remove it from the casserole and snip off the strings. Reheat the onion pan, stir in the flour and cook for 1 min. Whisk the floury onions into the beefy juices in the casserole, to make a thick onion gravy. Taste for seasoning. Add the beef and carrots back to the casserole, or slice the beef and bring to the table on a platter, with the carrots to the side and the gravy spooned over.

ROAST BEEF WITH CARAMELISED ONION GRAVY



Roast beef with caramelised onion gravy image

Rare roast topside is the ultimate centrepiece - make it extra special with Marmite and sweet onion gravy

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Lunch, Main course

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tbsp black peppercorn
1 tbsp English mustard powder
1 tbsp dried thyme
1 tsp celery seeds
1 tbsp olive oil
about 2kg/4lb 8oz topside joint of beef
4 tbsp plain flour
2 beef stock cubes
3 tbsp caramelised onion chutney or marmalade
2-3 tsp Marmite

Steps:

  • Crush the peppercorns, mustard powder, thyme and celery seeds together with some salt, using a pestle and mortar. Stir in the oil, then rub it all over the beef. (If you have time, cover and chill the joint overnight to marinate. Bring the beef out of the fridge 1 hr before roasting.)
  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and sit the joint in a snug-ish roasting tin. Roast for 12 mins per 450g/1lb (about 55 mins for a 2kg/4lb 8oz joint) for medium-rare, or 15 mins per 450g/1lb (about 1 hr 10 mins) for medium-well.
  • Remove from the oven, lift onto a platter, cover with foil and rest for 30 mins. If you're making the Yorkies (p90), increase oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
  • For the gravy, pour any juices from the roasting tin into a jug. Let the juices separate, then spoon 2 tbsp of the fat back into the tin - if there is no fat, use 2 tbsp butter instead. Discard any other fat. Sit the roasting tin on the hob and stir in the flour, stock cubes, onion chutney or marmalade and Marmite. Cook for 1 min, stirring well to scrape up any beefy bits stuck to the tin, then gradually stir in 750ml hot water from the kettle. Bubble to thicken to a nice consistency, then gently keep warm until ready to serve with the beef, carved into slices.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. This will help prevent the meat from steaming instead of searing.
  • Don't skip the step of deglazing the pan with red wine. This adds a rich, deep flavor to the gravy.
  • Be patient when simmering the gravy. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it will be. 30 minutes is a good starting point, but you can simmer it for up to an hour if you have the time.
  • Use a good quality beef broth. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the gravy.
  • Serve the beef in onion gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Conclusion:

This classic beef in onion gravy recipe is easy to follow and always a crowd-pleaser. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the gravy is rich and savory. It's a perfect comfort food for a cold winter night. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even better. So next time you're looking for a hearty and delicious meal, give this recipe a try.
