Best Roast Beef Brazilian Style Carne Assada Recipes

POT ROAST CARNE ASADA STYLE

Steps:

• Sprinkle beef evenly with half the salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add in the beef, and brown on all sides.
• Remove the meat from the pan, add in the onion, jalapeno, and cumin; cook/stir until the onion and pepper are softened, about 3 minutes.
• Return the meat to the pan and add the salsa and broth; bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• Cover, reduce the heat to med-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meat falls apart, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Remove the meat from the pan and cover loosely with foil.
• Taste the sauce for salt and pepper and add more if necessary.
• Shred the beef, removing any fat, and serve with the sauce on the side.
• **Do-ahead--at this point, you can combine the beef and sauce, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 days; it actually tastes better when cooked in advance.
• You can also freeze it in its sauce for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• The night before, marinate pot roast in vinegar or red wine, garlic clove, salt and pepper, chopped parsley, bay leaf and sliced onion.

While the meat is browning in a dish cut up the remaining ingredients and add the sauce the meat sat in overnight. Once the meat is browned, with a knife cut slits in the pot roast and stuff each slit with some mixture. Repeat until all of the mixture is used and pour the remaining liquid from the stuffing over the meat and simmer. Add a little water. Cover the pan and continue cooking. You will need to check and see what you need to add a little more water - for about 2 hours until the meat is tender. Slice and serve with the juices left in the pan.
