Roast Beef With Slow Cooked Tomatoes And Garlic Food

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Sprinkle the roast all over with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer the roast to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker, along with the carrots, celery, onions and garlic.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, allspice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking, until the gravy is smooth and thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
• Pour the gravy into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The roast and vegetables should be tender.
• Remove the roast and let rest for a few minutes. Discard the thyme stems and strain the vegetables, reserving the gravy. Toss the vegetables with half the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Stir the remaining parsley into the gravy and season with salt and pepper. Slice the roast against the grain. Serve the meat and vegetables on a platter, moistening them with some of the gravy; serve the remaining gravy on the side.

EASY POT ROAST WITH TOMATOES AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Put tomatoes in bowl and crush by hand, set aside. Swish can with about a ⅓ cup water and set aside for deglazing.
• Dry pot roast with paper towels, and, if desired, tie with string to hold together while cooking. Set pressure cooker to sauté and heat a glug of olive oil. Season beef roast with kosher salt and brown on both sides. Remove roast to plate, and deglaze pot with the tomato juice and water. Turn off sauté setting.
• Put beef roast back into pot, pour tomatoes over roast. Lift up roast to make sure tomatoes and liquid are evenly distributed, season with salt and pepper. Scatter garlic cloves around roast. Seal and set at high pressure for 60 minutes.
• Let pressure cooker naturally release for 20 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure. Remove pot roast to cutting board, slice or shred meat. Skim fat off tomato mixture and add beef back to pot. Serve beef and sauce over orzo, egg noodles or polenta with some garlic cloves, just press them right out of their papery skins.
• Heat a little olive oil in a heavy bottomed pan large enough to hold the beef roast. Generously salt the roast all over. When oil is shimmering, brown roast on all sides. Remove to a plate. Swirl a little water in the empty tomato can and deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits. Pour into the bottom of the slow cooker and place roast on top, along with any accumulated juices.
• Season the roast with some fresh, cracked black pepper. Crush the tomatoes by hand and pour the tomatoes over the roast, then scatter the garlic cloves around and on top of the roast. Cook on high for 6 to 8 hours until beef is tender. Mine took about 7 hours, depends on the size of your roast.
• Skim as much fat as you can from the surface. If you tied your beef, remove to a cutting board and slice or shred the beef and return to the slow cooker. Otherwise, use a fork and spoon to shred the meat into large pieces in the pot. Serve beef and sauce over pasta or polenta, with some garlic cloves, just press them right out of their papery skins.
• Preheat oven to 300º (If desired, brown the beef as directed above in the slow cooker instructions and after deglazing, return roast to pot and continue.)
• Put tomatoes in bowl with juices and crush by hand. Put roast in an ovenproof 4- to 5-quart heavy pot or Dutch oven with a lid. Pour tomatoes over roast and scatter garlic around it. Season with salt and pepper. Braise in middle of oven, covered, until very tender, 3 to 4 hours.
• Skim as much fat as you can from surface. Cut roast into slices or shred and serve with sauce and garlic, over pasta or polenta.

SLOW-ROASTED BEEF

Steps:

• Pat roast dry with paper towels. Rub generously with salt (at least 1/4 cup) and pepper on all sides. Shake the roast gently, allowing any excess salt and pepper to fall off.
• Place a wire rack in a small rimmed baking sheet or lay 5 to 6 metal skewers across a large plate or baking sheet. Place roast on top of rack or skewers, making sure it is fully elevated above the bottom of the baking sheet. Place elevated roast on the bottom rack of your refrigerator, uncovered (or loosely covered with foil, if you are squeamish about raw meat), and let rest undisturbed for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
• Transfer baking sheet with elevated roast directly from the refrigerator into a cold oven and set oven temperature to 225 degrees. Cook until the center of the roast reaches 120 degrees for rare, or 130 degrees for medium, as tested with a digital thermometer. Depending on the oven and the exact geometry of the roast, this will take 1 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove baking sheet with roast from oven and set on a trivet or on top of your stovetop. Let the roast rest on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet (any heavy skillet without a nonstick coating will do) over high until lightly smoking. Sear roast, turning occasionally, until well browned on all sides, about 4 minutes total.
• Carve into thin slices with a sharp knife and serve what you'll eat today. When finished, carve remaining roast. Carefully lay fanned slices into zipper-lock freezer bags in layers no thicker than 1/2 inch. Squeeze out as much air as possible and stack sealed bags on an aluminum baking sheet. Place in freezer until completely frozen. Store frozen for up to 2 months.
• To thaw, place one bag of frozen sliced steak on an aluminum baking sheet at room temperature until defrosted, about 45 minutes. It is important to use an aluminum sheet, as the high thermal conductivity of aluminum greatly speeds up the thawing process. Use thawed sliced steak as desired.

Taste gravy and season with additional salt and pepper, as needed. Return meat to slow cooker. Gently stir to coat with gravy. Allow to cook a few minutes to re-warm the meat, then remove all to a large platter or bowl to serve. Garnish with some chopped fresh parsley.

SLOW ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• IMPORTANT NOTE: Take the beef out of the refrigerator at least one hour before you want to start cooking.
• PREPARE: Heat the oven to 80°C / 175°F and place a roasting dish large enough to hold the beef on the middle rack. Rinse the beef and dry well with paper towel.
• SEAR THE BEEF: Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and the butter in a frying pan over a high heat. When the butter is hot and sizzling, brown the beef well on all sides. It's important to get plenty of colour on the beef at this point as the slow cooking later will not colour the beef at all. It should take around 10 minutes in total.
• MAKE THE GLAZE: Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining oil, mustard and paprika.
• ROAST THE BEEF: When the beef is well browned on all sides, remove from the heat. Season generously with salt and pepper, then brush all over with the mustard mixture. Place in the preheated roasting dish, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat and roast in the oven for 2.5-3 hours until the thermometer reads or 60-62°C (140-144°F).
• MAKE THE GRAVY: To make the gravy, heat the butter in the pan that you browned the beef in. Cook the onion, celery and garlic over a medium heat, stirring until softened, around 10 minutes. Stir through the tomato paste and flour, cook for a further two minutes, then pour in the wine.
• THICKEN THE GRAVY: Use a wooden spatula or spoon to scrape up all the browned on flavour on the bottom of the pan, then stir in the beef stock. Simmer until thickened, season to taste with salt and pepper, then strain into a clean saucepan and keep warm.
• REST THE BEEF: When the beef is cooked, remove from the oven, cover with tinfoil and a tea towel and rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
• MAKE YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS: To make the Yorkshire puddings, whisk together the flour and sea salt in a small bowl or jug. In a separate bowl whisk together the milk, water and egg, then stir the egg mixture into the flour until completely combined. Set aside for at least half an hour.
• COOK YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS: After the meat is out of the oven, turn the heat right up to 230°C / 450°F. Divide the oil or fat between 4 muffin tins and heat in the oven until smoking. When the fat is hot, quickly divide the batter between the tins. Return to the oven and cook without opening the oven door for 15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
• SLICE AND SERVE: Serve the roast with gravy and Yorkshire puddings, I like to serve mine with honey glazed carrots and green beans.

SLOW COOKER ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Add the carrots and onions to the slow cooker, then add 3 tbsp of cornflour and stir to ensure an even coating. Rub a little oil all over the beef and season well with salt and pepper. Sear the beef all over in a hot pan, and transfer to the slow cooker.
• Add the beef stock, red wine, tomato puree and sugar, ensuring that the beef is mostly covered by the liquid. Cook on low for 5 hours, or high for 3 hours. Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and cover with foil to keep warm. Rest the beef for up to 30 minutes. If you want to be sure about cooking times, use a meat thermometer - one is linked in the equipment list.
• Reduce the remaining liquid and vegetables in the slow cooker to a gravy consistency, adding 3 tbsp of cornflour to thicken (remove a little liquid, mix in the cornflour to make a paste, and mix it back into the gravy). If you've got a slow cooker with a metal pot (see the equipment list for a recommendation) you can do this by transferring it straight to the hob, if not, you'll need to transfer the contents of the slow cooker to a pan.
• When you're ready to serve, slice the beef with a sharp knife and coat with plenty of red wine gravy!

SLOW COOKER CHUCK ROAST

Steps:

• Season a 3 lb. chuck roast on all sides with salt and pepper to taste. In a large pan, place 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter and 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the seasoned roast and sear until golden brown on all sides. Transfer the roast to a large slow cooker.
• Add 1 large diced yellow onion with 1 tablespoon garlic powder to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden. Stir in 2 Tbsp. tomato paste and cook for another minute. Transfer to the slow cooker.Add 1 cup dry red wine to the pan. Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan and stir them in - that's flavor!

Turn down the heat, add 1 tbsp caster sugar and a splash of water, put on the lid and allow to cook gently until water has evaporated, and they are soft and sticky with the sugar melted in.
• Spread the onion and mushroom mixture across the cut open part of the beef and put it back together into a joint, securing tightly with butcher's string.
• Place in a deep dish and tip over 1/2 bottle of red wine. Cover and allow to marinate in the fridge overnight.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 140C and spoon the wine mixture over the meat, rubbing the top with approx 1 tbsp of horseradish sauce, then re-cover the whole dish with foil. Roast in the oven for 5-6 hours, uncovering for the last 30 minutes to allow it to brown. Meat should fall apart when being sliced.
