• After 1 hour, reduce heat to low and cook 6 to 8 more hours. Carefully lift meat out of pot and remove to a warm platter.

COFFEE BRAISED POT ROAST WITH ONION SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat and brown the beef on all sides. Spoon the onions around the roast and pour in the coffee and broth. Add the salt, pepper, thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and cover. Put the pot into oven and cook 1 hour and 40 minutes. Baste occasionally.
• Remove the roast from pan and let rest 15 minutes.
• Remove the onions from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Discard the bay leaf; degrease the liquid.
• Mash together the butter and flour.
• Bring the liquid to a boil and slowly whisk in the butter mixture. Simmer the sauce 10 minutes; it should be slightly thickened. Stir in the onions and vinegar; check the seasonings.
• Carve the roast thinly and serve with the onion sauce.

POT-ROAST BEEF WITH FRENCH ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Rub the meat with 1 tsp of the oil and plenty of seasoning. Heat a large flameproof casserole dish and brown the meat all over for about 10 mins. Meanwhile, add 2 tsp oil to a frying pan and fry the carrots and celery for 10 mins until turning golden.
• Lift the beef onto a plate, splash the wine into the hot casserole and boil for 2 mins. Pour in the stock, return the beef, then tuck in the carrots, celery and bay leaves, trying not to submerge the carrots too much. Cover and cook in the oven for 2 hrs. (I like to turn the beef halfway through cooking.)
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the onions. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and stir in the onions, thyme and some seasoning. Cover and cook gently for 20 mins until the onions are softened but not coloured. Remove the lid, turn up the heat, add the butter and sugar, then let the onions caramelise to a dark golden brown, stirring often. Remove the thyme sprigs, then set aside.
• When the beef is ready, it will be tender and easy to pull apart at the edges. Remove it from the casserole and snip off the strings. Reheat the onion pan, stir in the flour and cook for 1 min. Whisk the floury onions into the beefy juices in the casserole, to make a thick onion gravy. Taste for seasoning. Add the beef and carrots back to the casserole, or slice the beef and bring to the table on a platter, with the carrots to the side and the gravy spooned over.

EASY ONION POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
• In a large casserole dish or Dutch oven or roaster (it should be able to go on the burner as well as go in the oven), spread half the onions.
• Rinse roast under the tap, pat dry with paper towel, and place on onion mixture.
• Cover with remaining onions and all the garlic; sprinkle pepper and thyme over top.
• Mix together the 1 cup water and worcestershire, and pour over roast.
• Cover and cook in preheated oven for 2-1/2 to 3 hours, or until roast is tender. (I turn the roast over after half the cooking time has past, although the original recipe did not call for it)
• Place meat and onions on a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm; if you let the roast stand for 10 to 15 minutes it will be easier to carve.
• Meanwhile, add enough liquid to the pot, if necessary, so you have 2 cups (use water, wine, beef broth, whatever you wish-- I use beef broth and red wine combined, usually); skim off any visible fat.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in the 2 tbsp cold water; stir into pan juices.
• Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for about 3 minutes or until the gravy is boiling and is thickened.
• Strain gravy if desired, carve roast into thin slices, and serve.
