PERFECT POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325ºF.
• Combine the salt, pepper, and ground fennel in a small bowl. Generously season the roast with the spice mixture.
• Add enough oil to a large Dutch oven to coat the bottom. Heat it over medium-high heat, add the roast, and sear 8 to 10 minutes total, turning to brown all sides. Transfer the roast to a bowl.
• Add the carrots, onions, and garlic and season lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté the vegetables until browned, 5 to 8 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Remove the vegetables and place in a clean bowl.
• Deglaze the pot with 1 cup of the cider. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any brown bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Add 2 cups of the broth and bring it to a boil again.
• Add 4 sprigs of the thyme, the rosemary, bay leaf, and roast to the pot (reserving the vegetables in the bowl). Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
• Cover the pot, place it in the oven, and roast for 2 hours. Add the reserved vegetables and roast for 1 more hour, until the roast is fork-tender but not mushy.
• Remove the roast and vegetables to a large bowl or platter and cover to keep warm. Let the braising liquid cool slightly, then strain the liquid into a bowl (discard the solids).
• Skim off any fat that has risen to the top.
• Purée the braising liquid in a blender.
• To make the sauce, heat 2 tablespoons oil in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the flour and stir to combine with the oil. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup cider and the tomato paste and mix well.
• Return the braising liquid to the pot along with the remaining 1 1/2 cups beef broth and the remaining 2 thyme sprigs. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce is thickened.
• Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the thyme sprigs.
• To serve, slice the pot roast, arrange the vegetables around it, and pour the sauce over the top.
• Variations: Tipsy Pot Roast
• In many pot roast recipes, there is an element of alcohol. In mine, I use hard cider, but you can also try red wine, a heavy beer, or-for your Irish friends-Guinness. The booze gives the meat an extra dimension but won't get the family hammered.

BEST ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C), and heat a large thick-bottomed roasting tray on the stovetop.
• Rub the beef generously with salt, then add a little olive oil to the tray and lightly color the meat for a couple of minutes on all sides.
• Lay the onions and bulbs of garlic in the tray with the beef on top of them, then cook in the pre-heated oven for a total of 1 1/2 hours.
• While the beef is roasting, parboil your potatoes in salted boiling water for around 10 minutes and drain in a colander. Toss about to chuff them up, this will make them really crispy.
• After 30 minutes, take the tray out and toss in your potatoes and rosemary. With a garlic press or grater, squeeze or grate the cloves of garlic and ginger over everything in the tray.
• Shake the tray and whack it back in the oven for the final hour. Remove the potatoes to a dish to keep warm, place the beef on a plate, covered with foil, to rest, and get your greens and Yorkshire puddings on.
• Remove most of the fat from your roasting tray and you should be left with caramelized onions and sticky beef goodness.
• Add 1 teaspoon of flour to the tray and mash everything together. Heat the tray on the stovetop and when hot, add the red wine. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until your gravy is really tasty and coats back of a spoon. Add any juice from the beef and feel free to add some water or stock to thin the gravy if you like.
• Pour through a coarse sieve and push it through with a spoon, pushing it through with a spoon, and serve in a warmed gravy jug. Serve with Yorkshire puddings.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Mix the batter ingredients together. Let rest for 10 minutes
• Preheat a Yorkshire pudding tray or muffin tin with 1/2-inch (1 centimeter) of oil in each section. After the 10 minutes divide the batter into the tray. Cook for around 15 to 20 minutes until crisp and puffy, don't open the oven door before then or they won't rise.

FAST ED'S FANCY ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C Season beef with salt and pepper. Using the tip of a sharp knife, make 8 incisions about 2cm deep around the beef. Push a sliver of garlic into each cut.
• Lay prosciutto slices overlapping side by side on a chopping boar lined with baking paper. Arrange sage leaves over the top. Put beef at one side and, using the baking paper as a tool to lift and roll, roll to wrap in prosciutto. Tie with butchers twine to secure, Drizzle with olive oil and put in a large roasting pan.
• Roast, turning often, for 1 hour or until prosciutto is well browned and meat is cooked to medium. Rest meat in a warm place, loosely covered in foil, for 5 minutes.

ROAST BEEF DINNER

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, carrots, onions.
• Rinse clean.
• Sprinkle one side of the roast heavily with Adolps, prick with a long handled fork in several spots.
• Place sprinkled side down in a hot roaster.
• Sear for about 1 minute.
• Sprinkle top side with Adolphs, prick.
• Turn and brown other side.
• Take off heat.
• Empty the two cans of mushroom soup on top of the roast.
• Pour about 1/2 can of water on the bottom of the pan.
• Place clean, peeled vegetables on and around the roast.
• Cover with lid.
• Gravy will be ready in the bottom of the pan when through cooking.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 3 1/2- 4 hours.
• Left over meat and vegetables can be cut up and warmed in left over gravy thinned with water, later in the week, for a quick stew.

THE MOST AMAZING ROAST BEEF DINNER IN ONE POT

Steps:

• 1. Cut your roast into 2 or 3 equal pcs. (optional).
• 2. In a med. to large pot put the roast and green beans (any other veggies you want except potatoes -- add those later) in along with both cans of french onion soup, fill with water until it's about 3 inches above meat. Bring to a boil, boil for about 30 minutes then reduce heat to simmer, you want the liquid to evaperate but not too fast. Now cook for 3 to 4 hours or until meat is falling off of fork (if water gets too low just keep adding a cup or two at a time, you want the liquid to cook down and allow the soup to thicken but not until it has been cooking for about 3 to 4 hours).
• 3. After the roast and green beans have been cooking for about 3 hours or so when meat is tender, then you can add your potatoes. Keep cooking until potatoes are done and the liquid in the pot has thickened and evaperated down to where you can see the meat and veggies.
• Now if you want to add rice or noodles you can cook them while the roast is sitting for 30 mins -- DINNER ROLLS ARE A MUST TO SOAK UP ALL THE YUMMY JUCIES FROM COOKING THE ROAST.
• i may have not explained this very well but it really is the easiest way to cook your roast and veggies -- If you are using a crock pot use the set on low-med. put potatoes in with roast fill up with water and just let it cook all day, after about 6 or 7 hours it will be done.

• *3lb Roast- 54 minutes

• Medium rare- 130-140 degrees.
