Categories     main-dish

Time 6h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (3-pound) beef chuck roast
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, with their juice
1/4 cup cognac or brandy
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
5 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/3 cup prepared sun-dried tomato tapenade
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 packed teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Hot buttered egg noodles, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Season the meat generously with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the oil to the skillet and heat just until beginning to smoke. Brown the meat all over and sear the roast, turning as each side turns a deep mahogany, about 10 minutes. While the meat browns, put the flour into a medium bowl and whisk with about 1 1/2 cups of the chicken broth until smooth.
  • Crush the tomatoes through your fingers into the slow cooker; stir in their juices, 3 tablespoons of the cognac, herbes de Provence, and the 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Transfer the browned meat to the slow cooker. Add the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth to the skillet; let it bubble for a minute and then stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Pour over the meat, then scatter the garlic, carrots, fennel, and onion over and around the meat. Pour the flour mixture over. Cover the cooker, set it on HIGH, and cook for 4 hours. Set the cooker on LOW and cook until the meat is very tender, up to 2 hours more (for a total of 6 hours). Transfer the meat to a cutting board. Skim any excess fat off the top of the sauce in the cooker.
  • To finish the sauce: Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon cognac, the tomato tapenade, parsley, and orange zest into the vegetables and sauce in the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Slice the meat and lay the slices down the center of a serving platter. Arrange the vegetables around the meat and spoon some sauce over the top. Serve with hot buttered egg noodles. Pass the remaining sauce.

5 ounces rare deli roast beef
2 slices Cheddar
4 ounces au jus or beef stock
2 tablespoons Horseradish Creme Fraiche, recipe follows
2 tablespoons sweet onion jam
1 cup baby arugula

Steps:

  • Heat up a skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat, then add canola oil. Slice the baguette in half and toast in the skillet until lightly browned on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Remove the baguette to a cutting board. Add the roast beef to the same skillet, mounding in a shape similar to the baguette, then top with the Cheddar and add the au jus or beef stock. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it steam for 30 seconds. Meanwhile, add the Horseradish Creme Fraiche to one side of the baguette and the onion jam to the other. Remove the roast beef and melted cheese from the skillet with a spatula, and place on the bottom half of the baguette. Top the roast beef and Cheddar with the baby arugula, drizzle with the Apple Cider Gastrique and season with salt and pepper. Top the sandwich with the other half of the baguette, then slice the sandwich in half on the bias and enjoy!
  • Mix together the creme fraiche, horseradish, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, hot sauce and salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Keep refrigerated.
  • Bring the cider, vinegar, sugar and apple peels and cores to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 30 minutes. Strain off the apple peels and cores, then bring the liquid to a boil. Whisk in the xanthan gum and simmer for 2 minutes, then cool down the liquid. We serve the Apple Cider Gastrique in a squeeze bottle at room temperature.

BUTCHER'S ROAST BEEF SANDWICH



Butcher's Roast Beef Sandwich image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds beef top round roast
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
2 ancho chiles
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup mayonnaise
Flatbread, recipe follows
Beef tallow, for toasting flatbread
Caramelized onions, for serving
Sliced Swiss cheese, for serving
4 ounces fresh yeast
1 1/4 ounces sugar
4 pounds bread flour
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for oiling baking sheets
2 ounces kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Coat the top round with the garlic, onion and liberal amounts of salt and pepper. Rub the seasoning into the meat and place on a roasting rack in a baking pan. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside to rest for at least 90 minutes before slicing.
  • Put the ancho chiles and oil in a blender and blend on high speed until finely pureed. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a container. Gradually stir chile oil into the mayonnaise until the desired spice level is reached; the mayonnaise should be a bright neon orange.
  • Cut the flatbread into twelve 8-by-9-inch rectangles and toast with beef tallow on a griddle over high heat until light golden brown. Slice each rectangle in half horizontally, then smear the cut-sides with mayonnaise.
  • On baking sheets, make twelve stacks of sliced roast beef, caramelized onions and Swiss cheese. Run under the broiler until the cheese is melted and the meat is warm.
  • Transfer the stacks to the flatbread bottoms and form sandwiches. Slice the sandwiches on a diagonal to plate.
  • Mix together the yeast, sugar and 1 1/2 cups of warm water (just under 110 degrees F) in a large bowl and set aside until tripled in size.
  • Place the yeast mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and add the flour, oil, salt and 4 cups of tepid water. Mix on low speed until incorporated, then mix on medium speed for 10 minutes. Remove the hook but leave the dough in the mixer bowl. Let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 4 pieces. Place each piece on an oiled baking sheet and let rest for 30 minutes. Press the dough out to fill the baking sheets, then let rest for another 20 minutes. Press the dough again to fill out the baking sheets; let rest for 20 more minutes. Press the dough for the third time to fill out the baking sheets; let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Bake for 18 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through.

Like chicken salad, but with beef! A great way to use leftover roast beef or pulled beef. Even my kids like it, minus the onions. Chopping and mixing all the ingredients together in my manual food processor works really well and saves time. Serve on bread or in pita pockets.

THE BEST ROAST BEEF FOR SANDWICHES



The Best Roast Beef for Sandwiches image

The best cut of roast beef for sandwiches isn't necessarily the same as what you'd want hot from the oven. A hot roast demands plenty of marbling so that the rich fat can melt and baste the meat with its goodness. Roast beef sandwiches work better made from a leaner cut, preferably one with a mineral, earthy taste and a nice chew. A top loin roast is ideal. It's got plenty of brawny flavor, and all of the fat is on the surface, which you can easily trim off after the meat is cooked. Here, the beef is roasted low and slow to ensure rare, juicy meat. This said, if you want a more economical cut, use bottom, top or eye round here instead. Just adjust the roasting time if the cut is larger or smaller. As long as you pull the meat out of the oven when it reaches between 125 and 130 degrees, you'll get nicely rare meat. More sandwich recipes.

Time 6h45m

Yield 6 to 10 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 small garlic cloves, grated
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons rosemary leaves
2 1/2 pounds boneless beef top loin roast (leave the fat on top)
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, salt, pepper and rosemary. Spread the paste all over the meat. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • When you are ready to prepare the meat, remove it from the fridge and let stand at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Coat the roast lightly with olive oil. Transfer to the wire rack and roast for 75 to 95 minutes, until an instant thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers 125 to 130 degrees for medium-rare.
  • Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let cool completely before carving (trim off the fat cap if you plan to serve it cold). The meat can be roasted three days ahead; cool completely before refrigerating.
