Best 7 Bonnies Sunday Dinner Pot Roast Her Way Recipes

SUNDAY POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using paper towels, pat the roast dry to help get a great crust on the meat. Sprinkle the roast generously with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and heat until glossy. Add the roast and brown on all sides. Remove and transfer to a cutting board or a large plate.
• Add more oil to the pot if needed, along with the carrots, celery and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Add the fresh herb bundle and cook until the vegetables start to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking for another minute. Add 3/4 cup of the red wine and reduce by half, scraping up the seared bits and incorporating them into the juice. Then return the roast to the pot and add the beef broth. Bring the liquid to a simmer before covering with a tight-fitting lid and placing the pot in the oven. Allow the roast to cook until fork tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours, turning once halfway through.
• Remove from the oven and transfer the roast to a large cutting board. Tent with foil while the roast rests. Placing the Dutch oven back on the stovetop over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1/4 cup of red wine to the liquid and reduce by half at a simmer, about 10 minutes. Strain the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Shred the roast into big chunks and toss with the jus.
• For the herb salad: Toss the watercress and picked parsley with the lemon juice and olive oil to taste. Season with salt and pepper and top with the toasted almonds
• Serve on top of the Risotto Cakes and top with the fresh herb salad.
• For the risotto: In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth to a simmer. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots to the butter, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the Arborio rice and lightly toast, stirring to coat in the butter and shallots. Add the white wine, continuing to cook while stirring until the wine is absorbed. You should be able to run your spoon through the risotto and have the indentation stay.
• Using a ladle, add enough of the warm chicken broth to cover the rice, stirring constantly over medium heat until the broth is completely absorbed. Repeat the process 3 more times, adding the broth in stages while continuing to stir. Once all of the chicken broth has been added and the rice is tender, add the peas, lemon juice and lemon zest and stir to combine.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan, mozzarella and season with salt and pepper. Cool the risotto by spreading it evenly over a sheet tray. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Once the risotto is cooled, form the mixture into burger-size patties, about 1-inch thick. Set up a dredging station with the flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another and panko breadcrumbs in another. Dip the rice patties into the flour, then into the eggs and finally coat them in the panko breadcrumbs.
• In a large skillet, heat 1/2-inch vegetable oil over medium heat until a pinch of panko sizzles when dropped in the oil. Working in batches of 2 to 3, fry the risotto cakes until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side (use a fish spatula under the cake and the back of a fork on top to help stabilize while flipping). Transfer to a wire rack, which will help them stay crispy. Season with salt and they are ready to serve. Yield: 6 large cakes.

BONNIE'S GOOD OLD-FASHIONED POT ROAST

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350, bake covered tightly with foil 2 1/2 hours to 3 hours, depending on when it becomes nice and tender.
• 2. Trim the fat from the chuck roast. Make incisions about 2 inches apart with a sharp paring knife and insert slivers of garlic. Do this all over the roast.
• 3. Salt and pepper the roast and rub it in, do this on both sides of the meat. Dredge the roast in flour and rub that in.
• 4. Heat just enough oil in cast iron skillet to sear the meat, and when it is hot, sear the meat on all sides until very brown. Turn off the heat.
• 5. Put the roast and the cast iron skillet on the middle rack in the oven. Put the A-1 sauce and the Worcestshire sauce all over the top of the roast. Now fill the skillet with water, up to about 1/2 from the top of the roast--don't cover the top with water. Make a lid of tin foil and seal it to keep the steam in. Cook for 2 1/2 hours or 3 or until roast is very tender. I serve it with pan roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Make a gravy from the drippings which is just divine.
• 6. ROASTED VEGETABLES: Ingredients 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 tablespoons diced yellow onion 1 teaspoon caraway seed crushed 1 clove garlic minced 12 baby carrots peeled and washed 3/4 pound new potatoes scrubbed 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Directions: Preheat oven to 400 then melt butter in saucepan large enough to hold carrots. Add onion and cook over medium heat two minutes until onion begins to wilt. Add minced garlic and caraway to saucepan and cook another minute. Add carrots to saucepan and toss to coat then cook stirring often for 2 minutes. Cover carrots with water and bring to boil then cook 2 minutes and drain through colander. Prick potatoes in several areas with a knife. Place potatoes and carrots in large mixing bowl then add olive oil and granulated garlic. Season with salt and pepper the toss to coat. Place potatoes and carrots in roasting pan and roast turning occasionally 35 minutes. Season vegetables with salt and pepper then serve immediately.
• 7. Simple, but oh, so good! This recipe will stand the test of time for you, too! Enjoy!
• 8. Cook's Tip: I have been asked in the past if other cuts of meat could be used instead of chuck. I have done that, but chuck is the preferred choice of meat for this recipe. It gets fork tender. I have also had people ask what cut of meat it is, and eyebrows will go up when you tell them it is chuck, because it is delicious prepared this way.

BONNIE'S POT ROAST WITH DILL

Steps:

• 1. Combine the flour with the salt and pepper and coat the beef. In a medium skillet, brown the coated beef until it has a nice sear on all sides. Remove to platter, set aside to cool. Once cool, rub the Dijon mustard evenly on all sides of the beef.
• 2. Place the vegetables in the slowcooker on the bottom and the mustard-coated meat on top. Pour in stock and vinegar around sides not over meat. Cook on Low 10 to 12 hours.
• 3. Remove beef to a cutting board.
• 4. Cut the meat into thin slices.
• 5. Remove vegetables to a serving bowl.
• 6. Make the gravy. Strain the cooking juices from the slow cooker into a 2 3/4 quart saucepan. Add flour, mustard and dill; stir over medium heat until sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from heat, cool for a minute, add the sour cream. Taste to see if it needs salt.
• 7. Drizzle the meat with the gravy to serve. Put the rest of the gravy in a gravy boat.
• 8. Here is what it looks like on the plate. Enjoy!

SET-IT-AND-FORGET-IT POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• With the tip of a paring knife, make ten 3/4-inch-deep slits on each side of the roast. Insert a garlic clove half into each slit. Season the meat all over with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Gently set the roast in it and sear all over, turning with tongs, until well browned, about 14 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan to a plate.
• Add the carrots, onions and bay leaves to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring up the crispy bits at the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the wine is reduced by half. Return the roast to the pot, laying it on top of the vegetables. Add enough chicken stock to cover the roast by three-quarters. Cover and roast for 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Flip the meat over and add the potatoes. Cover and continue cooking until the potatoes are tender but not mushy and the meat is fall-apart tender, 45 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the roast.
• Remove the roast and vegetables to a platter. Season the meat with additional salt. Pour the sauce into a gravy boat and pass with the meat and vegetables.

PERFECT POT ROAST

Steps:

• 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.

• preheat oven to 275. Heat large pot or dutch oven over medium high heat. Add olive oil and let it get really hot.
• Salt and pepper the chuck roast on both sides. Cut the onions from root to tip, cut the ends off, and peel the skin off. Brown onions on both sides in dutch oven, then remove to a plate. Thoroughly wash carrots, chop and add to dutch oven and toss them around until slightly brown, about a minute or so.
• Remove the carrots and allow pot to become hot again.
• Sear roast about 1 minute per side and then remove to plate.
• Turn heat to high and deglaze the pot adding one cup of the beef broth.
• Add Meat back to pot, followed by carrots and onions. Pour beef broth into pot to cover the meat half way. Tuck thyme and rosemary into the broth, if you are using them.
• Cover pot and roast for 3-5 hours depending on the size of your roast. For a 3 pound roast, allow 3-3 1/2 hours, for a 4 to 5 pound roast, cook for 4 to 5 hours.
• When cooking time is over, check for doneness; insert a fork into meat, the fork should go in very easily and the meat should be very tender.
• Remove to cutting board and slice against the grain.
• Serve.
