CAJUN STYLE ROAST

Cajun Style Roast image

I was taught how to make this style of roast, which makes a Cajun's favorite food...rice and gravy! You can use just about any size of meat...just adjust the vegetables to stuff it. I hope you enjoy!

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 bottom round pot roast
1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
2 tsp chopped garlic
1/2 to 1 tsp cajun seasoning
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2-3 Tbsp beef base (i use better than boullion)
3-4 Tbsp cornstarch - add water until you can stir

Steps:

1. Finely chop all of the vegetables and put in a medium bowl. Sprinkle cajun seasoning over the vegetables and then stir. Use a long knife to cut X shaped holes throughout the roast, on each side. Use your fingers to 'stuff' the seasoned vegetable mixture into the holes until all of them have some of the mixture. It is necessary to make sure that the vegetable mixture stuffed pretty far inside the roast so that each part of the roast is seasoned. Using a cast-iron pot would be best to prepare the roast.
2. Heat vegetable oil in the cast-iron pot. Really sear, without burning, each side of the roast so that each side is browned. If you have extra veggies you can saute them now with the meat, being careful not to burn them. Pour water over roast to cover it and then heat to boiling. Reduce heat a bit so that you continue to 'cook down' the meat and gravy over and over until you reach the desired tenderness of the roast and there is about 2-3 cups of liquid in the pot.
3. Once you've reached the desired tenderness, cut roast in slices on a plate. Add cold water to 3-4 tablespoons of cornstarch to make a slurry to add to the gravy to thicken it. Heat until thickened to your satisfaction. Put meat back into gravy and keep warm until you are ready to serve the meal. Traditionally this is served in Cajun country with rice, but you can also serve with mashed potatoes.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast is a great choice for this recipe, as it is a tough cut that will become tender when braised. Other good options include brisket, rump roast, and short ribs.
Brown the beef well: This will help to develop flavor and color. Be sure to sear the meat on all sides over high heat before adding it to the slow cooker.
Use a flavorful braising liquid: Beef broth, tomato juice, and Worcestershire sauce are all good options. You can also add herbs, spices, and vegetables to the liquid for extra flavor.
Cook the beef on low heat for a long time: This will allow the meat to become fall-apart tender. Cook the beef for at least 8 hours, or up to 12 hours for a more tender roast.
Serve the beef with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and rice are all good options.

Conclusion:

This Cajun-style roast is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The beef is fall-apart tender and flavorful, and the gravy is rich and savory. Serve the roast with your favorite sides for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
