Alfred Lunts Swedish Royal Pot Roast Food

PERFECT POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
• Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
• Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
• If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
• With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
• Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
• Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

Steps:

• Dissect the meat, removing all fat, etc. Cut the meat into cubes or pieces. Place the meat pieces, salt, pepper, and allspice into a plastic grocery bag, and shake or stir to coat the meat with the seasonings. Heat some olive oil in a large pot to be used for the braising. Brown the meat on all sides. Discard any left over oil. Remove the meat, and add the chopped onions. Saute the onions until translucent. Return the meat, and add all other ingredients except the parsley and cream. Simmer, covered, over very low heat, for 3 hours. When the meat is very tender, remove it. Puree the braising liquid, place in a freezer for 30 minutes, then remove the fat. Return the braising liquid to the pot. Thicken it with some flour mixed with butter. Finally, whip the cream (or not), and fold it into the braising liquid. Pour the sauce over the meat in a serving bowl, and sprinkle with some chopped parsley.
