Slow Roasted Pocket Beef Food

SLOW ROASTED MOUTHWATERING TENDER ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Take the beef out of the fridge an hour before putting it in the oven to let it warm to room temperature.
• Slice the garlic into small slivers and mince the rosemary.
• Combine the rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper with the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil to make the spice rub.
• Using the tip of a sharp knife, make small slits in the roast. Insert the garlic slivers into the slits. Spread the rub on the outside, covering the whole thing.
• Set the roast in a roasting pan with a rack, and then pour the stock into the bottom of the pan.
• Place the roast into an oven that has been preheated to 450℉ (232℃) for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, turn the oven down to 325℉ (163℃) and cook the beef uncovered until the internal temperature has reached 135℉ (57℃). For a 3lb roast, this takes around an hour.
• While it's cooking, baste it with the pan juices a couple of times. We use a turkey baster every 25 minutes or so.
• When the meat has reached the desired temperature, take it out of the oven, keep it on the rack while covering it loosely in foil, and let it rest covered for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Slice the beef into thin slices against the grain and sprinkle a tiny bit of salt across the top of the slices right before serving.
• Once the roast has finished cooking, remove the juices from the pan and add enough stock to have 2 cups of liquid. Recommend using low sodium or sodium-free stock or broth.
• In a saucepan, make a roux by whisking the butter and flour together over medium heat. Once the roux has turned golden brown, slowly pour in the liquid while continuing to whisk.
• Add the salt and pepper and continue stirring until the gravy has reached the desired consistency. This usually takes 5 to 7 minutes.
• The gravy will start to thicken as it cools.

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.

SLOW ROASTED POCKET BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 130 degrees.
• Mix oil, thyme, tomato paste and garlic and smother the beef.
• Use the prosciutto to wrap the roast and tie with to secure.
• Brown the roast on the stovetop in a baking pan. Add the wine and stock.
• Cover with foil and bake for 4 hours making sure the liquid doesn't evaporate.

SLOW-COOKER CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place the corned beef in a large slow cooker and scatter the pickling spices on top. Layer the rutabaga, carrots, potatoes and leek in the cooker (in this order for even cooking). Add enough hot water (4 to 5 cups) to cover the meat by at least 1 inch, put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high, 7 to 8 hours.
• Remove the meat and vegetables from the slow cooker and keep warm. Put the cabbage in a microwave-safe dish with 2 cups cooking liquid from the slow cooker, cover and microwave until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, boil another cup of cooking liquid in a small skillet until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Mix with the horseradish and creme fraeche in a small bowl.
• Slice the corned beef and serve with the slow-cooked vegetables, cabbage and sauce; reserve about a quarter each of the meat and vegetables and 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid for Corned Beef Hash.

SLOW ROASTED BEEF

Steps:

• Butterfly the beef joint; make a cut about a third of the way down it horizontally, til it opens out like a book. Then cut down the thick part so as that can be folded back as well. Rub well with olive oil and the crushed garlic.
• In a pan, heat a small amount of olive oil and add the chopped red onions and mushrooms, and fry briskly until browned and soft. 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.
• I served this with potato dauphinoise and steamed veg. Use the juices from the meat to mix in with some beef stock and 1tbsp horseradish to make a gravy, and thicken with cornflour as required.

SLOW ROASTED BEEF (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED) RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Sprinkle all sides of roast evenly with salt. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate 18 to 24 hours. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 225°F. Pat roast dry with paper towels; rub with 2 teaspoons oil and sprinkle all sides evenly with pepper. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until starting to smoke. Sear roast until browned on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer roast to wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet. Roast until meat-probe thermometer or instant-read thermometer inserted into center of roast registers 115°F for medium-rare, 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 hours, or 125°F for medium, 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours. Turn oven off; leave roast in oven, without opening door, until meat-probe thermometer or instant-read thermometer inserted into center of roast registers 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium, 30 to 50 minutes longer. Transfer roast to carving board and let rest 15 minutes. Slice meat crosswise as thinly as possible and serve. We don't recommend cooking this roast past medium. Open the oven door as little as possible and remove the roast from the oven while taking its temperature. If the roast has not reached the desired temperature in the time specified in step 3, heat the oven to 225°F for 5 minutes, shut it off, and continue to cook the roast to the desired temperature. For a smaller (2 1/2- to 3 1/2-pound) roast, reduce the amount of kosher salt to 3 teaspoons (1 1/2 teaspoons table salt) and black pepper to 1 1/2 teaspoons. For a 4 1/2- to 6-pound roast, cut in half crosswise before cooking to create 2 smaller roasts. Slice the roast as thinly as possible and serve with Horseradish Cream Sauce ), if desired.
