Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 5h5m

Yield 5 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Extra-virgin olive oil, for sauteing and drizzling
4 onions, very thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
3 pounds chuck, bottom round or top sirloin steak
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 to 5 starchy potatoes
1 (32-ounce) can Italian tomatoes, sliced or roughly crushed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves picked and finely chopped
Parmigiano-Reggiano, for grating
A few fresh basil leaves, torn
1 loaf ciabatta, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a thin layer of extra-virgin olive oil. Add the onions, and garlic to the hot oil and sweat them until very soft and very light caramel in color, 20 to 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and reserve.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a thin layer of oil to the pan. Pat the meat dry and season very liberally with salt and pepper. Brown the meat to a deep brown all over, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Peel the potatoes and very thinly slice them lengthwise into planks. Slice the tomatoes working over a bowl to catch their juices.
  • Arrange 1/2 the onions over top of the meat, season with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon thyme. Arrange 1/2 the potatoes over the onions and dress the potatoes with a liberal drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 tablespoon, salt, pepper, rosemary, and a handful freshly grated cheese. Top the potatoes with 1/2 the tomatoes and their juices, and season with salt and pepper. Scatter a few leaves of torn basil. Repeat the layers. Do not add basil to the top layer of tomatoes.
  • Cover the pan and roast the meat in the oven until very tender, 4 hours. Cool and store for make-ahead meal.
  • To reheat: Reheat, covered, in a preheated 325 degree F oven until warmed through, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Take off the lid of the pot, drizzle the top of the meat with oil, sprinkle with cheese, and broil to lightly crust the top. Cut down through the layers of the potatoes, tomatoes, and onions to portion the meat, serve in shallow bowls with crusty bread and pan juices.

YUMMY SCRUMMY BRAISED BEEF WITH RED WINE AND CRANBERRY



Yummy Scrummy Braised Beef With Red Wine and Cranberry image

I absolutely love this recipe because it only has six ingredients but tastes divine. It's from the BBC Good Food magazine's Dec 2003 issue. I've made it about half a dozen times and my husband licks his plate everytime!!! I tend to add a little more stock and wine as I prefer more gravy but I've written the proportions as they were in the magazine.

Sweet and Sour Braised Brisket With Cranberries image

Provided by David Firestone and Susan Brenna

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 4h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
7 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt, more as needed
1 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or hot paprika
5 pounds brisket, preferably second cut, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries
1/2 cup fruity white wine
1/3 cup apple cider
2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses, optional
Chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, rosemary, black pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, chile flakes and Aleppo pepper. Place the brisket, fat side up, in a large Dutch oven. Rub meat all over with the spice mixture. If you have time, let meat rest at room temperature for 1 hour. (You can skip this step if necessary.) Transfer pot to oven and roast, uncovered, 20 minutes.
  • While meat cooks, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the cranberries and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar. Simmer, uncovered, until cranberries begin to break down, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine, cider and pomegranate molasses if using. Season with salt.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Pour cranberry mixture over the brisket. Cover and cook until meat is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours; turn meat every hour. Slice meat and serve with plenty of sauce and parsley for garnish.

  • Add spices and herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves, to enhance the flavor of the beef.
  • Simmer the beef over low heat for at least 2 hours, or until tender and fall-apart.
