POT ROAST WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND ROASTED CARROTS



Pot Roast with Caramelized Onions and Roasted Carrots image

Provided by Suzanne Tracht

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For pot roast
1/2 cup canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 pounds boneless short ribs, denuded (all surface fat removed; have your butcher do this)
1 cup dry sherry
4 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
2 large onions, peeled and roughly chopped
8 stalks celery, peeled and roughly chopped
8 cloves garlic, unpeeled
1 bay leaf
About 8 cups (2 quarts) chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
For roasted carrots and caramelized onions
6 medium carrots (about 2 pounds) peeled, halved lengthwise, then halved horizontally
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 medium Spanish onions, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 6 to 7 cups)

Steps:

  • Prepare pot roast
  • Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 350°F. Season beef liberally with salt and pepper. In large Dutch oven or heavy ovenproof pot over moderately high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add beef and sear until dark brown and crisp on both sides, about 10 minutes total. Transfer beef to large plate. Pour off oil in pan and discard. Add sherry and simmer uncovered, scraping up browned bits on bottom of pan, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Pour reduced sherry into heatproof liquid measuring cup.
  • In same pan, combine carrots, onions, celery, garlic, and bay leaf. Lay beef on top of vegetable mixture and pour reduced sherry over. Add enough chicken stock to cover 3/4 of meat. Cover and transfer to lower rack in oven. Roast until fork-tender, about 3 hours.
  • While beef is roasting, prepare roasted carrots and caramelized onions
  • During final hour of roasting, in large bowl, toss carrots with olive oil until well coated. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spread on baking sheet and transfer to upper rack in oven. Roast until slightly tender and browned, about 45 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and keep warm.
  • During final 30 minutes of roasting, in heavy 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat, heat canola oil until hot but not smoking. Add onions and sauté, stirring constantly, until caramelized, about 20 to 25 minutes. Season to taste with kosher salt, add to roasted carrots in large bowl, and keep warm.
  • Finish dish
  • When beef is tender, transfer to serving platter; tent with foil. Skim fat from liquid in pot. Strain liquid through fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids with back of spoon to extract all juices, then discarding solids. Return liquid to pot, set over high heat, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to moderate and simmer, uncovered, until reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Season juices to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Pour half of juices into bowl with carrots and onions; toss to combine. Pour other half of juices into gravy dish. Arrange carrots and onions around beef on serving platter and serve immediately, with extra juices on side.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Meat: Chuck roast is a great choice for this recipe due to its rich flavor and affordable price. Alternatively, beef brisket or short ribs can also be used.
  • Sear the Meat: Searing the meat before braising helps develop a flavorful crust and locks in the juices.
  • Caramelize the Onions: Taking the time to caramelize the onions adds a delicious sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Use a Rich Braising Liquid: A combination of beef broth, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce creates a flavorful braising liquid that infuses the meat with savory goodness.
  • Cook Low and Slow: Braising the meat for several hours allows the connective tissues to break down, resulting in tender, fall-apart meat.
  • Add Vegetables: Incorporating vegetables such as carrots, celery, and potatoes into the braising liquid adds additional flavor and nutrition.
  • Serve with Mashed Potatoes or Rice: Mashed potatoes or rice are classic accompaniments to this dish, soaking up the delicious braising liquid.

Conclusion:

This delectable caramelized onion chuck roast is sure to become a family favorite. With its tender meat, rich flavors, and ease of preparation, it's perfect for a cozy dinner or special occasion. Whether you're a seasoned cook or just starting out, this recipe is sure to impress. So gather your ingredients, heat up your Dutch oven, and prepare to indulge in a culinary masterpiece.
