Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds boneless rump roast or top round in one piece
1 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped carrots
3 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 cup beef or veal stock
1/2 cup crushed canned tomatoes
2 bay leaves, crushed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place the meat in a deep bowl, add the white wine and vinegar and allow to marinate six to eight hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove the meat from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and pat the beef dry. Heat the oil in a heavy three-quart casserole. Add the beef and brown it on all sides. Remove the meat from the casserole and add the onions and carrots and cook over medium-low heat until tender and lightly browned. Stir in the garlic, then add the raisins, ginger, allspice and brown sugar. Add the stock, the reserved marinade and the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan. Stir in the bay leaves and salt and pepper to taste. Return meat to casserole.
  • Cover the casserole and place in the oven. Bake for about two hours, until the meat is tender.
  • To serve, remove the meat from the casserole and slice it. Arrange on a platter. Reheat the sauce and check seasoninings. Add some or all the lemon juice if the sauce does not seem tart enough. Spoon some of the hot sauce over the meat and pass the rest.
  • Alternatively, the meat can be refrigerated overnight in the cooking liquid and the next day the meat can be sliced and the sauce reheated before serving. This will improve the meat's flavor and texture and allow the layer of chilled fat on liquid's surface to be removed and discarded.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For pork
1/3 cup coriander seeds
1 1/2 cups fine dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 lb center-cut boneless pork loin roast, butterflied
For chile cilantro sauce
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup caribe* (crushed New Mexico red chiles)
1 cup honey
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
*Available at specialty foods shops or by mail order from The Chile Shop (505-983-6080).
Special Equipment
kitchen string

Steps:

  • Prepare pork loin:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Coarsely crush coriander seeds with a mortar and pestle or an electric coffee/spice grinder, then stir together with bread crumbs, oil, pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Turn pork so a long side is closest to you and season with salt and pepper. Pat one third of seasoned crumbs onto pork, leaving a 2-inch border along top edge. Starting with side nearest you, roll meat into a cylinder and tie securely with kitchen string. Coat pork with remaining crumbs.
  • Roast pork on a rack in a roasting pan in middle of oven 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer diagonally inserted at least 2 inches into meat registers 155°F, 1 to 1 1/4 hours more. Let pork stand, loosely covered, 10 minutes.
  • Make sauce while pork roasts:
  • Simmer bell pepper, caribe, honey, lime juice, and salt in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Cool sauce to warm or room temperature, then stir in cilantro just before serving.
  • Slice pork and serve with sauce.

POT ROAST IN SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE



Pot Roast in Sweet and Sour Sauce image

Prep time includes browning the roast, this is started on top of the stove then finished cooking in the oven --- the exact amounts really do not matter for this recipe I just eyeball all ingredients, start with 1/3 cup brown sugar and add in more if needed while cooking, when I make this I find that for my taste I need more than 1/3 cup --- the cayenne was left as optional if you like some heat then add it in and adjust to taste or you may used crushed chili flakes, there is tons of sauce to this so there is no need to double the amounts --- cooking time is only estimated it will depend on the size of your roast, this will also work well using a pork roast.

SWEET AND SOUR PULLED POT ROAST SAMMIES



Sweet and Sour Pulled Pot Roast Sammies image

One of my favorite dinner flavors growing up was the sweet and sour tomato based sauce made by my mom and other relatives (from Eastern Europe) that always accompanied our stuffed cabbage and/or peppers. The light bulb went off in my head the other day when I decided to cook a Pot Roast in this traditional Jewish broth. I am so...

Provided by Linda Dalton

Categories     Roasts

Time 3h50m

Number Of Ingredients 20

THE MEAT
2 1/4 lb bottom round pot roast (approx size)
2 Tbsp flour
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp crushed black pepper
2 Tbsp canola oil
THE SAUCE
2 lemons juiced
1/2 tsp vinegar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 15 oz can water
1/2 tsp ground black pepper (omit if you're serving children or those with milder pallettes)
1 large onion sliced
GARNISHES
sliced oinion
cole slaw
your favorite potato salad
THE BREAD
6 rolls i love potato rolls but any good deli roll will do

Steps:

  • 1. To make the sauce, it's easy and there's no cooking involved. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl or measuring cup and whisk ingredients to make sure they are incorporated and sugar is dissolved. Set this aside and let's get to the beef.
  • 2. Pat all moisture from your roast- paper towels work fine for me. In shallow plate combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge meat on all sides in flour mixture and lets get ready to sear this baby.
  • 3. On stovetop in large skillet heat your oil on medium and sear meat on all sides. You want to create a nice crust that will keep the meat moist and seal the juices in while your cooking this for 3 plus hours.
  • 4. Now add your sliced onions and tomato sauce and water. Bring to a slight boil, cover and lower heat to the lowest your stovetop can handle and cook 3 to 3-1/2 hours. I had the time to hang around the kitchen so I turned my roast over every 30-45 minutes. I'm not sure that is necessary. After the time recommended, you will discover that the meat is tender and begging you to take a taste. Just don't burn your fingers.
  • 5. After your pot roast has cooled a bit, remove from saucepan and shred it with a fork or your clean fingers and get ready to make some yummy sandwiches.
  • 6. Many people serve their pot roasts with potatoes and veggies. But I thought this one was special enough to be served on a potato roll.
  • 7. And I added cole slaw. With a few pickles on the side of course! But I think it's a personal choice and you might opt for your favorite tater salad or even raw, sliced onion. My dad most definately would have opted for the raw onion! And yes, grilled rolls are great too.

SWEET AND SOUR ROAST



Sweet and Sour Roast image

Got this recipe from a Southern Living magazine many years ago. It is practically foolproof and tastes great, and clean up is a breeze. Hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think.

Provided by cyndy ladas

Categories     Beef

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 4 pund eye of round roast
2 medium onions thinly sliced
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c honey
1/3 c fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground cloves

Steps:

  • 1. In a large Dutch oven, brown the roast on all sides in the oil
  • 2. Add the onions and other ingredients, cover and bake at 300 for three hours or until tender, turning occasionally.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: A chuck roast or bottom round roast are good choices for this recipe, as they are both tough cuts that will benefit from the long, slow cooking time.
  • Brown the meat before braising: This will help to develop flavor and color. You can brown the meat in a skillet or directly in the Dutch oven.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and bell peppers.
  • Use a good quality ketchup: The ketchup is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a ketchup that is made with tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and spices.
  • Simmer the roast for at least 2 hours: This will allow the meat to become tender and flavorful. You can simmer the roast on the stovetop or in the oven.
  • Serve the roast with rice or mashed potatoes: These are classic side dishes that will complement the sweet and sour roast perfectly.

Conclusion:

This sweet and sour roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family dinner. The meat is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet, sour, and tangy. Serve this roast with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
