OVEN-ROASTED POT ROAST WITH VEGETABLES



Oven-Roasted Pot Roast With Vegetables image

My family loves pot roast. Though I usually use my dutch-oven I find it is too small to cook enough vegetables to feed my large family. So I came up with a way to use my roasting pan to keep it simple.The long cooking time left the roast fork tender, just be sure to cut against the grain of the meat and not with it.

POT ROAST WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES



Pot Roast with Roasted Vegetables image

This hearty dish is the perfect fall meal -- loaded with sweet root vegetables and a roast made flavorful and tender from hours simmering in a rich brew of red wine, tomatoes and beef base.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

One 3- to 4-pound beef chuck roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 cloves garlic, smashed
1 large onion, sliced
One 14.5-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine
2 teaspoons beef base
3 sprigs fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water, optional
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, optional
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
2 medium red onions, peeled and quartered, or 6 shallots, peeled and halved
2 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch coins
1 medium turnip, peeled and cut into 8 wedges, or 1 medium celery root, peeled and cut into 8 large chunks (or both)
About 5 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the beef: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven, with a lid, over medium-high heat. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper and sprinkle lightly with the flour. Add the oil to the pot, and sear the beef on both sides until a deep mahogany brown, about 10 minutes total.
  • Transfer the beef to a plate. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of the oil from the pot.
  • Add the garlic and onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, breaking them up with your hands as you add them, and cook until a deep brick red, about 5 minutes more; reserve the tomato juice in the can.
  • Add the wine to the pot and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits that cling to the bottom. Add the reserved tomato juice, beef base, 2 cups water, thyme and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Return the beef to the pot, nestle it in the liquid, cover and transfer the pot to the oven.
  • Cook until the beef is just tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the lid and continue to cook, uncovered until tender, about 1 hour more.
  • For the roasted vegetables: Meanwhile, toss the carrots, onions, parsnips and turnip with the olive oil and some salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread out the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. You may have to use 2 baking sheets. Once the beef comes out of the oven, raise the temperature to 450 degrees F. Roast the vegetables, turning halfway through cooking, until caramelized and tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Transfer the beef to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Skim the fat off the surface of the sauce in the pot and discard. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. For a thicker sauce, whisk in the cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. (Test the thickness of the sauce by spooning some onto a plate and checking the consistency). Stir in the parsley, if using. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Keep the beef warm in the sauce until ready to slice.
  • Slice the pot roast, lay it on a platter and surround it with the vegetables. Spoon some of the sauce on top and serve the remaining sauce on the side.

CROCK POT BEEF STEW WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES



Crock Pot Beef Stew With Roasted Vegetables image

I don't really like beef stew. I know, weird, huh? I like it more than pot roast but even as a little kid I was never terribly fond of beef stew. I think it's a long cooked beef thing. But last week I wanted to invite friends over for dinner and only a weeknight could work. That meant crock pot (we had a party to go to that evening so time was too short for much cooking at all), but I needed a relatively failsafe recipe. I was entertaining guests after all. Well, crock pots are great for things like stew. So I got out all my recipe books and got on my googling hat... and came up with this. Beef stew to awe those who don't like beef stew :)

Provided by Alyss05

Categories     Stew

Time 8h45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 1/2 lbs chuck roast
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground sage
4 -6 tablespoons bacon grease or 4 -6 tablespoons cooking oil
1 onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup red wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 1/2-2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups carrots, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
4 -6 cups chopped root vegetables (such as potatoes, parsnip, turnip, garlic, onion or sweet potatoes)
2 -4 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • The night before:.
  • Trim and cut beef into fork sized chunks. Remove most of the gristle and fat, but some will add texture and flavor to the stew.
  • In a zip bag or pie plate combine flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper and ground sage. Taste to make sure it is salty enough to not just taste like flour. Mix beef chunks into flour mixture and coat well.
  • Heat cooking oil in a cast iron skillet and cover the bottom of the pan with beef chunks. Make sure to not crowd the pan and brown until at least a couple sides of each chunk are good and browned. Remove to a bowl that will fit all the beef, easily be covered and can go in your refrigerator. Repeat with the rest of the meat When all the meat is browned deglaze the pan with red wine, stir and scrape the browned bits off the bottom and simmer for a minute or two to reduce the liquid. Scrape the liquid into the bowl with the beef. (I did two batches of meat in my 12 inch cast iron and then deglazed the pan, rinsed it and did a third batch. I didn't want the browned bits to get too burned but your pan/stove/etc may be different).
  • Wipe or rinse the pan and heat up another tablespoon or so of fat. Sautee the onions and celery until tender, seasoning with salt, pepper and maybe some thyme, or ground rosemary or even more ground sage. Deglaze or scrape the pan and add the vegetables to the bowl of beef. Place the bowl in the fridge.
  • Wash and chop root vegetables into 1 1/2 - 2 inch chunks. Place in a zippy bag or large covered container in the fridge.
  • In the morning:.
  • Place the carrots in the bottom of your crock pot. Pour beef, onions and all the juice from the bowl in the crock pot. Combine the tomato paste with some of the stock and stir to combine. Pour the tomato and all the stock into the crock pot. I added beef broth until it was just under the level of the beef. Tuck the bay and rosemary in the liquid. I wrapped my rosemary in cheesecloth so I wouldn't have to fish out individual rosemary leaves.
  • Turn heat to low and cook for 8-10 hours. Mine cooked for 9 hours and was perfect.
  • In the evening:.
  • Turn the oven to 375. Place chopped root vegetables in a baking pan and coat with olive or coconut oil. Salt and pepper liberally and stir to combine everything. Roast until the veggies are tender and browned. Feel free to crank the heat to 425 if they are tender but not yet brown and you are hungry. Should take 20-30 minutes depending on how big your chunks are.
  • Stir the stew, remove bay and rosemary and taste for seasonings. Mine didn't need any more salt but yours might. I did add a tsp of red wine vinegar and it really perked things up. I recommend you do the same :) I also left the cover off while the veggies roasted to allow everything to thicken up a bit more.
  • Defrost peas (I used hot water, but you could throw them frozen into the crock pot half an hour before serving if you remember, like I didn't :) and add them to the stew.
  • Serve by putting veggies in each bowl and pouring stew over top. Serve with buttered bread, red wine and maybe some pickled carrots or a salad.
  • Alternative if you don't own or don't use a crock pot:.
  • Instead of putting beef and carrots and stock in a crock pot, put it in a heavy stock pot. Simmer on the stovetop for a couple hours, or bring to a boil and then place in a 350 degree oven for a couple hours. Proceed as above.

One 3-pound beef chuck roast
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, cut into wedges
2 carrots, cut in half crosswise
1 cup dry red wine
6 sprigs fresh thyme
6 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 to 6 cups low-sodium beef broth
Herb-Roasted Vegetables (recipe follows)
Herb-Roasted Vegetables
1 pound small new potatoes
1 small acorn or butternut squash, cut in half, seeds removed, and cut crosswise into 1-inch slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 tablespoons fresh rosemary
4 tablespoons fresh thyme
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 red onion, quartered
5 or 6 small carrots, trimmed
2 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
(serves 6 to 8)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Generously season the roast on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until sizzling hot (see Know-how, page 100). Add the roast and sear to a rich brown color, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place the onion and carrots around the roast in the skillet and cook and stir while the roast is searing.
  • Add the wine, thyme, and rosemary and cook and stir for about 1 minute, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add enough broth to cover three-quarters of the roast. Reduce the heat to medium and bring the liquid to a low boil.
  • Cover the pot tightly with a lid or aluminum foil and roast in the oven, undisturbed, for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until the meat is fork-tender (see Know-how, page 172).
  • Remove the roast from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Spoon the Herb-Roasted Vegetables and onions around the meat and cover loosely to keep warm. Remove the herb stems and carrots from the skillet. Use a large spoon to skim the fat off the top of the cooking liquid. Place the skillet over high heat and reduce the liquid by half. Pour over the roast and serve warm with the roasted vegetables scattered around the platter.
  • Herb-Roasted Vegetables
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Place the potatoes and squash on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter and toss to coat the vegetables evenly. Spread evenly in a single layer and season with 2 tablespoons of the rosemary, 2 tablespoons of the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes, stirring several times while cooking, until soft when pierced with the tip of a small knife and light brown around the edges.
  • While the potatoes and squash are roasting, place the onion, carrots, and parsnips on a separate rimmed baking sheet with the remaining 2 tablespoons rosemary, 2 tablespoons thyme, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stir the vegetables to coat evenly, and spread in a single layer. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring several times. Remove from the oven, arrange on a platter with the other vegetables around the pot roast, and serve warm.

5 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup red wine
1 (15-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, in juice
2 cups beef broth, homemade, or low-sodium, low-fat
3 sprigs fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
2 bay leaves
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, optional
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Roasted Vegetables:
5 carrots, peeled, cut into thirds
3 medium turnips, peeled and cut into 6 wedges
2 medium red onions, peeled, cut into 6 wedges
2 medium parsnips, peeled, cut into thirds
About 5 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a large Dutch oven, with a lid, over medium-high heat. Season the meat generously with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the pot, lay the meat in the pan and sear on both sides until brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate. Pour all but about 2 tablespoons of the oil from the pan. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pan, and cook until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Add the flour and with a wooden spoon scrape up any browned bits that cling to the bottom of the pot Add wine and tomatoes and cook until liquid has thickened, about 5 minutes more. Add broth, thyme, and bay leaves, bring to a boil. Return the roast to the pot, nestle it in the liquid, cover, place in the oven and cook until the roast is just tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the lid and continue to cook, uncovered until tender about 1 hour more. Meanwhile, put the carrots, turnips, onions, and parsnips on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Roast on a shelf under the pot roast for the last hour, stirring occasionally, until tender throughout. Transfer the roast to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Skim the fat off the surface of the liquid and discard. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until thickened. Stir in the parsley and vinegar, salt and pepper, to taste. Keep the roast warm in the sauce until ready to slice. Slice the pot roast across the grain and lay on a platter, surround with the vegetables. Pour some of the sauce on top and serve the remaining in a sauceboat on the side.
