Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 (3 to 3 1/2-pound) bottom round rump roast, at room temperature
1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 large yellow onion, sliced
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 cups canned low-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water
Easy Rice, recipe follows
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 cups long-grain white rice
4 cups water or canned, low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Season the meat on all sides with the Essence, salt, and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven and brown on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the pan and add the onion slices and thyme sprigs. Place the roast on top of the onions, fat side up. Add the beef broth to the pan and place in the oven, uncovered. Roast until the beef is tender and registers an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Transfer the roast to a platter or cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
  • Meanwhile, use a slotted spoon to discard the onions and thyme sprigs. Place the Dutch oven over medium-high heat to heat the beef drippings. Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until dissolved. Add the cornstarch mixture to the beef drippings and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully transfer to a gravy boat or decorative bowl.
  • Carve the beef thinly and arrange the slices on large plates with rice on the side. Drizzle gravy over each portion and serve alongside of the Easy Rice.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

  • In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the rice, water, butter and salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

I love gizzards and hearts cooked this way best, I do also like them deep fried. When I made this last night I didn't eat it so I'll be posting a picture of the final dish tonight after I get home. I'm really looking forward to eating a bowl or three of this tonight :) Bon Appetite!

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3-4 lb chicken gizzards
1 c https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/sauce-spread-seasoning-mix/first-you-have-a-roux.html?p=22
3 medium onions, yellow, medium
4 stalk(s) celery ribs
1 small bell pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2-2 tsp cayenne pepper
4 pinch thyme, dried
1 tsp paprika
1/2 c https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-rice-side/davids-perfect-rice.html?p=19
6 c chicken stock or chicken bullion cubes

Steps:

  • 1. Clean and boil gizzards for an hour and a half to two hours. It takes this long to make sure they are "fork tender" Then cut into 2-3 pieces each depending on their size.
  • 2. Chop onions, celery and bell pepper set aside.
  • 3. Make your roux with 1 stick butter and 1/2 cup flour. Make a dark roux Once roux is desired color add the chopped onions, celery and bell pepper.
  • 4. After about 10 minutes the onions will become clear and the celery and bell pepper tender, now is time to add the stock.
  • 5. Add a little bit of stock at a time and stir until well mixed and thick. Continue to add stock to get to a soupy consistency.
  • 6. Now add the gizzards/hearts and mix. Turn to a low heat and let simmer for at least 30 minutes. An hour is better then serve over rice.
  • 7. This is what the consistency should look like when done. If it gets too thick either add more stock or a bit of hot water. You want this thick over the rice not soupy.

  • Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
  • Use a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water for cooking. This will result in perfectly cooked rice that is neither too dry nor too wet.
  • Do not stir the rice while it is cooking. This will prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
  • Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb any excess moisture and become fluffy.
  • Serve the rice with your favorite gravy or curry. Rice and gravy is a classic combination that is enjoyed by people all over the world.
