ROAST SIRLOIN OF BEEF WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Rub steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season beef with salt and pepper. In a large casserole on the stovetop, sear beef on both sides. To a heavy roasting pan add onions and 2 tablespoons olive oil and roast in oven for 20 minutes, to begin caramelizing onions. Place charred roast on top of onions and roast until internal temperature is 135 degrees (for medium rare), or higher, about 45 minutes. In final 15 minutes (internal temperature of beef should be approximately 120 degrees), mix garlic, parsley, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. Brush mix on steak as roasting marinade and brush on mushroom caps. Add mushroom caps to roasting pan while the beef cooks for final 15 minutes.
• Remove roast, place on carving board, and allow to rest. Place onions and mushroom caps on platter.
• Pour excess fat from roasting pan, leaving 1 tablespoon. Add flour and cook on stovetop for 2 minutes. Add wine and reduce by half. Add broth and cook for 2 minutes.

SUCCULENT BRAISED PORK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Pat the pork dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, and working in batches brown the meat on all sides until a golden crust forms. Transfer the pork to a plate. To the pan add the onion, celery, and carrot and sweat until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and sweat another 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 3 minutes to cook off the raw flavor and caramelize it. Sprinkle with the flour and cook another 2 minutes to cook off its raw flavor. Whisk in the wine and reduce it by half. Return the pork to the Dutch oven, then stir in the beef stock, parsley stems, and bay leaves. Add the water if liquid does not come up to the top of the pork. Do not cover the pork with liquid. Cover the pan and place it in the oven to braise until the meat is fork tender, about 3 hours. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

GRANDPA'S BRAISED BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a thin layer of extra-virgin olive oil. Add the onions, and garlic to the hot oil and sweat them until very soft and very light caramel in color, 20 to 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and reserve.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a thin layer of oil to the pan. Pat the meat dry and season very liberally with salt and pepper. Brown the meat to a deep brown all over, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Peel the potatoes and very thinly slice them lengthwise into planks. Slice the tomatoes working over a bowl to catch their juices.
• Arrange 1/2 the onions over top of the meat, season with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon thyme. Arrange 1/2 the potatoes over the onions and dress the potatoes with a liberal drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 tablespoon, salt, pepper, rosemary, and a handful freshly grated cheese. Top the potatoes with 1/2 the tomatoes and their juices, and season with salt and pepper. Scatter a few leaves of torn basil. Repeat the layers. Do not add basil to the top layer of tomatoes.
• Cover the pan and roast the meat in the oven until very tender, 4 hours. Cool and store for make-ahead meal.
• To reheat: Reheat, covered, in a preheated 325 degree F oven until warmed through, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Take off the lid of the pot, drizzle the top of the meat with oil, sprinkle with cheese, and broil to lightly crust the top. Cut down through the layers of the potatoes, tomatoes, and onions to portion the meat, serve in shallow bowls with crusty bread and pan juices.

BRAISED TRI-TIP ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Season the roast lightly with salt and pepper. Put the roast fat-side down in the pot. Cook until the bottom is browned, about 3 minutes, then carefully flip the roast to brown on the other side, an additional 3 minutes. Remove the meat to a plate.
• Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pot. Add the onions and stir periodically until they soften and start to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the onion soup mix, thyme, bay leaves and 2 cups water. Add the meat with all its juices back to the pot. Bring the liquid to a simmer. Cover, transfer the pot to the oven and cook until the meat is very tender but still sliceable, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Transfer the meat to a cutting board. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves from the braising liquid and skim off any excess fat. Slice the meat across the grain into slices 1/2 to 1 inch thick, spoon the braising liquid over and serve hot.

BEST EVER BRAISED SIRLOIN TIPS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 300F.
• 2. Cut the beef into 1 inch (or slightly smaller) cubes, discarding any fat or gristle. Most of the "silver skin" can remain as it will melt in the long cooking.
• 3. Toss the beef in the black pepper.
• 4. Using a large Dutch oven or similar oven-safe pan with cover, melt 2 Tbl of the beef fat on medium-high heat. Brown the beef in small batches, adding fat as necessary. Adjust the heat to prevent the pan drippings from burning. Remove the last of the beef from the pan.
• 5. Discard any excess fat leaving enough in the pan to lightly saute the onions and garlic. Cook the onions and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring to coat them with the pan drippings.
• 6. Stir together the wine, soy sauce, water and demi-glace paste until the paste is dissolved.
• 7. Add the browned beef cubes and the liquids to the onions and garlic and bring to a simmer.
• 8. Cover and simmer in the oven for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
• 9. Continue to simmer on top of the stove and slowly add the dissolved cornstarch, stirring to prevent lumps. This should quickly thicken the liquid to a rich gravy. Simmer another minute, if the gravy has not thickened to your liking, add more dissolved cornstarch but be careful! Too much cornstarch will turn the gravy into a sticky goo.
• 10. Taste and adjust with salt if needed.
• 11. Serve hot over rice, potatoes or noodles.
