IRISH ROAST BEEF WITH GUINNESS AU JUS

Steps:

• Place the beef in a roasting pan and pour the beer over the meat. Cover the pan with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight, turning once.
• Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Remove the roast from the stout and pat dry. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides. Set the browned roast on plate.
• Crush the rosemary, thyme, steak seasoning, and pepper in a mortar and pestle. Add the minced garlic and stir to make a paste. Spread the paste over the outside of the roast. Place the roast back into the roasting pan with the stout and cover loosely with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours. Add the potatoes to the roasting pan and leave off the foil to let the roast get a crispy coating.
• Bake to your desired degree of doneness, or an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) for medium, about another hour. Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 20 minutes before slicing.
• Pour the pan juices into a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer until the juices have reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Strain the juices and serve with the beef and roasted potatoes.

IRISH STOUT BEER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Mix beer, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, onion, and garlic together in a slow cooker. Season beef chuck roast with salt and pepper, and place in the slow cooker. Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the meat.
• Cook on Low for 6 hours, then add the celery. Continue cooking until the roast falls apart easily and the potatoes are softened, about 2 hours more. Serve the meat and vegetables with the remaining gravy on top.

IRISH ROAST BEAST

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray (or preheat oven to 325 degrees with rack in the middle).
• Mix all the ingredients, except the meat and gravy mix, in a large bowl.
• FOR THE SLOW COOKER: Put half a cup of the sauce mixture in the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the meat in and pour the rest of the sauce over the top.
• Turn the slow cooker to low and cook for 8 to 10 hours (or if you are late putting roast in cooker, cook on high for 6 to 7 hours) When the meat is easily pierced with a fork, remove from the sauce and cut into chunks and put on a platter. Cover platter with foil to keep meat warm.
• Turn the slow cooker to high and sprinkle in the packet of beef gravy mix. Stir until sauce has thickened.
• To serve, drizzle some of the sauce over the meat on the platter. Put the rest of the sauce in a gravy boat or small pitcher for the table.
• INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OVEN: Spray the inside of the roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Follow the directions as above and cover the pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated 325 degree oven for 5 to 6 hours or until easily pierced with a fork. Take off the foil and let brown in oven for another 45 minutes. Remove meat from sauce and cut into chunks and put on a platter. Cover platter with foil to keep meat warm.
• Pour the sauce into a saucepan and sprinkle with beef gravy mix; thicken over medium heat and serve, as described above.

ROAST BEAST (OK, BEEF)

Steps:

• Mix all the spices and the salt together. Moisten the roast with a little bit of water so the spices will stick. Sprinkle the mixture all over the roast and rub or press it in with your hand. Spank that puppy! Show him who's boss!
• Place the roast, fat side up, in the center of a large roasting pan. Spread the onions, carrots and potatoes all around the roast. Don't worry, they're all friends and won't mind the close proximity. Roast in the oven at 375° for 15-20 minutes per pound depending on how silent you like your beef. Stir the vegetables about every 20 minutes, which will coat them with the juices and spices. Your best bet is to use a meat thermometer. Unless you're God, in which case you won't be needing THAT! Ha-Ha!
• Ha.
• Ok then, for rare beef, remove the meat from the oven at about 115-120°. For medium around 135-140°. Let the roast rest (shhh!), preferably 10-20 minutes. The internal temperature will go up 5-10° during that time. If you are cooking a smaller roast or the veggies are still hardened criminals, continue to cook them while the roast takes her nap. Slice and serve your moo with a heapin' helpin' of veggies. And thank the cow. She kinda gave up a lot.

IRISH POT ROAST

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge roast in flour mixture. Save remaining flour mixture for gravy.
• Heat oil in large skillet or frying pan, and sear roast on all sides until well browned.
• In crockpot, layer vegetables, ale, and beef broth on the bottom, then meat, then honey, then onions, garlic, and thyme. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high 4-5 hours. (Alternatively, roast in a 375°F oven for 2 1/2 hrs or until meat is very tender.).
• Mix water and reserved flour in bowl. Drain juices from crockpot into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then add flour slurry. Cook on medium-high heat until thick and bubbly.

CORNED BEEF IRISH FEAST

Steps:

• Rinse brisket thoroughly in cool water and place into a large Dutch oven. Generously coat beef with brown sugar on all sides. Pour Irish stout beer around roast, followed by beef stock. Liquid should cover brisket by about 1 inch; add another beer if more liquid is needed.
• Place onion, garlic, bay leaves, spike packet from corned beef, and peppercorns into liquid. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover Dutch oven. Simmer for 2 1/2 hours, turning brisket over in the beer mixture every 30 minutes. Place potatoes and carrots around roast, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Add cabbage wedges and simmer until tender, about 10 more minutes. Brisket should easily pull apart with your fingers or a fork.
• Transfer vegetables to a serving bowl and place corned beef on a serving platter; let meat rest 10 minutes before slicing across the grain to serve.
