MOM'S POT ROAST

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds rump roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup red wine
One 28-ounce can tomato product (I'm using crushed tomatoes)
1 cup liquid (I'm using water)
2 bay leaves
1 pound dry pasta (I'm using shells)

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.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 8h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 -5 lbs beef roast
2 cups beef broth
2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 medium onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 tablespoons brown sugar
5 carrots, chopped
5 celery ribs, chopped

Steps:

  • Season both sides of roast with salt and pepper.
  • Combine broth, ketchup, vinegar, onions, garlic, and sugar in slow cooker.
  • Add roast and top with carrots and celery.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until meat is tender.

Tips:

  • Sear the meat: Searing the meat before braising helps to develop a rich, flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Use a good quality pot: A heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid is essential for braising. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the pot from scorching.
  • Add aromatics: Aromatics such as onions, garlic, carrots, and celery add flavor and depth to the braising liquid.
  • Use a flavorful liquid: The braising liquid is an important part of the dish, so be sure to use a flavorful liquid such as beef broth, red wine, or beer.
  • Braise low and slow: Braising is a low and slow cooking method that allows the meat to become tender and fall apart. Cook the meat on low heat for at least 2 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
  • Season to taste: Once the meat is cooked, season the braising liquid to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.

Conclusion:

Braised pot roast is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is a simple dish to make, but it takes a little time to cook. However, the results are worth the wait. The meat is fall-apart tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve pot roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or egg noodles for a hearty and satisfying meal.
