Bobby Flay Chuck Roast Food

BOBBY'S SMOKED CHUCK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat a smoker to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, and steak seasoning in a bowl. Rub mixture evenly over the roast and place in a baking pan.
• Cook roast in the smoker until meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Wrap roast in aluminum foil and continue smoking until meat reaches an internal temperature of 195 degrees F (90 degrees C), about 1 hour more.
• Remove roast from smoker and let sit for 20 minutes. Leave smoker on.
• Cut meat into cubes and return to the baking dish. Add barbeque sauce and brown sugar.
• Smoke meat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours more.

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Pat the beef dry with paper towels and sprinkle well on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat (or if your slow cooker has a browning feature, preheat it). Sear the meat on all sides until browned, then transfer to a plate.
• Add the garlic and onions to the pan or slow cooker and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the red wine and cook, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. If searing in a skillet, transfer the contents of the pan to a slow cooker set on low heat.
• Nestle the beef into the onions and add the broth, wine, Worcestershire, carrots, parsley, thyme, bay leaves and celery, and stir well to combine. Cover and cook until the meat is fork-tender, about 8 hours.
• Remove the roast from the slow cooker and cover to keep warm. Strain the cooking liquid into a large saucepan, and simmer over medium-low heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. (You can also puree some of the carrots and onions in a food processor and add it to the cooking liquid to thicken it.)
• Slice the pot roast, ladle the gravy over it, and serve.

BRAISED CHUCK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season chuck roast liberally with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Heat duck fat in dutch oven and brown chuck thoroughly on all sides. Remove meat from pot and set aside.
• Add all vegetables and garlic to remaining hot fat in pot and saute until tender. Add herbs and red wine scraping bottom of pot to remove all browned flavor bits from bottom. Reduce 10 minutes. Add veal stock. Paint chuck roast with tomato paste and add roast to braising liquid so that liquid reaches about halfway up the side of meat. (Add more stock if needed)
• Cover and braise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until meat fork slides into meat easily.
• Remove meat from hot pot, cool, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Strain braising liquid pushing it through strainer with back of spoon--reserving all possible liquid. Cool, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. (Keep it separate from meat)
• After 24 hours, remove meat and liquid from fridge. Remove fat from liquid and heat liquid in sauce pan until hot.
• In small sauce pan, make a roux with 1 1/2 tablespoons flour and 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. Cook over low heat from 5 minutes. Add roux to hot liquid, stir and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. This is your gravy.
• Slice meat 1/2-inch thick and arrange slices in oven-proof dish. Moisten with some of the gravy, cover and heat until meat is hot enough to eat.
• Serve with mashed potatoes or polenta and roasted seasonal root vegetables. Serve gravy on side.
