POT ROAST WITH BOURBON MAPLE GLAZE



Pot Roast With Bourbon Maple Glaze image

This recipe came from an old cooking board on AOL and it's a winner! Mashed potatoes are a must to serve with this.

Provided by Lvs2Cook

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 3h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup olive oil
5 lbs boneless beef chuck roast
2 cups celery, cut in large dice
2 cups carrots, cut in large dice
2 cups onions, cut in large dice
2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
2 cups red wine
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup Bourbon
2 quarts beef stock
1/2 cup sweet corn
1/2 cup peas
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Marinate the roast in the red wine overnight in the refrigerator. Remove meat from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot. Brown meat on all sides and remove. Add the remaining olive oil, celery, carrots and onions and cook over medium heat for a few minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  • Deglaze with bourbon (stand back, the bourbon may ignite momentarily). Add the beef stock, roast and maple syrup. The liquid should just about cover the meat and vegetables. Lower the heat to a simmer; cover pot and cook 3 to 3 1/2 hours, turning meat occasionally so that it will cook evenly. If it still seems a bit liquidy after 2 1/2 hours, tip the lid off a bit to allow steam to escape and the sauce to thicken.
  • When meat is fork tender, remove from pot. Add peas and corn. Cook for another 10-15 minutes. Slice meat into thick 1/2" slices. Mound mashed potatoes on center of plate. Top with meat slices and pour sauce over everything.

MAPLE BAKED PORK LOIN ROAST



Maple Baked Pork Loin Roast image

This is a GREAT recipe. Do not let the ingredients scare you, they combine to make a really great taste. The pork is so moist and tender that it will fall apart when you go to cut it. I find it comes out best with the loin that has two sections. If it is a single loin, it still comes out great, but does not fall apart quite so much. Everyone who tries this loves it so far. It's my husband's favorite and very easy to make. It cooks for 1 hr 45 min - 2 hrs.

Tips for a Perfect Maple Orange Pot Roast:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Chuck roast or shoulder roast are both great options, as they have plenty of marbling and will become tender and flavorful during the cooking process.
  • Sear the Beef Before Braising: Searing the beef in a hot pan before braising helps to develop a rich, caramelized crust and lock in the natural juices.
  • Use a Variety of Aromatics: Onions, garlic, carrots, and celery are all classic aromatics that add flavor and depth to the braising liquid.
  • Add Some Citrus Zest: A little bit of orange or lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor that complements the sweetness of the maple syrup.
  • Don't Skimp on the Spices: A blend of spices, such as thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves, adds warmth and complexity to the dish.
  • Use a Good Quality Maple Syrup: A dark, robust maple syrup will add a rich, decadent flavor to the pot roast.
  • Braise the Roast Low and Slow: Braising the roast at a low temperature for several hours allows the meat to become fall-apart tender and absorb all the delicious flavors from the braising liquid.

Conclusion:

Maple orange pot roast is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give maple orange pot roast a try. You won't be disappointed!
