BONNIE'S GOOD OLD-FASHIONED POT ROAST

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350, bake covered tightly with foil 2 1/2 hours to 3 hours, depending on when it becomes nice and tender.
• 2. Trim the fat from the chuck roast. Make incisions about 2 inches apart with a sharp paring knife and insert slivers of garlic. Do this all over the roast.
• 3. Salt and pepper the roast and rub it in, do this on both sides of the meat. Dredge the roast in flour and rub that in.
• 4. Heat just enough oil in cast iron skillet to sear the meat, and when it is hot, sear the meat on all sides until very brown. Turn off the heat.
• 5. Put the roast and the cast iron skillet on the middle rack in the oven. Put the A-1 sauce and the Worcestshire sauce all over the top of the roast. Now fill the skillet with water, up to about 1/2 from the top of the roast--don't cover the top with water. Make a lid of tin foil and seal it to keep the steam in. Cook for 2 1/2 hours or 3 or until roast is very tender. I serve it with pan roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Make a gravy from the drippings which is just divine.
• 6. ROASTED VEGETABLES: Ingredients 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 tablespoons diced yellow onion 1 teaspoon caraway seed crushed 1 clove garlic minced 12 baby carrots peeled and washed 3/4 pound new potatoes scrubbed 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Directions: Preheat oven to 400 then melt butter in saucepan large enough to hold carrots. Add onion and cook over medium heat two minutes until onion begins to wilt. Add minced garlic and caraway to saucepan and cook another minute. Add carrots to saucepan and toss to coat then cook stirring often for 2 minutes. Cover carrots with water and bring to boil then cook 2 minutes and drain through colander. Prick potatoes in several areas with a knife. Place potatoes and carrots in large mixing bowl then add olive oil and granulated garlic. Season with salt and pepper the toss to coat. Place potatoes and carrots in roasting pan and roast turning occasionally 35 minutes. Season vegetables with salt and pepper then serve immediately.
• 7. Simple, but oh, so good! This recipe will stand the test of time for you, too! Enjoy!
• 8. Cook's Tip: I have been asked in the past if other cuts of meat could be used instead of chuck. I have done that, but chuck is the preferred choice of meat for this recipe. It gets fork tender. I have also had people ask what cut of meat it is, and eyebrows will go up when you tell them it is chuck, because it is delicious prepared this way.

SUNDAY POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using paper towels, pat the roast dry to help get a great crust on the meat. Sprinkle the roast generously with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and heat until glossy. Add the roast and brown on all sides. Remove and transfer to a cutting board or a large plate.
• Add more oil to the pot if needed, along with the carrots, celery and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Add the fresh herb bundle and cook until the vegetables start to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking for another minute. Add 3/4 cup of the red wine and reduce by half, scraping up the seared bits and incorporating them into the juice. Then return the roast to the pot and add the beef broth. Bring the liquid to a simmer before covering with a tight-fitting lid and placing the pot in the oven. Allow the roast to cook until fork tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours, turning once halfway through.
• Remove from the oven and transfer the roast to a large cutting board. Tent with foil while the roast rests. Placing the Dutch oven back on the stovetop over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1/4 cup of red wine to the liquid and reduce by half at a simmer, about 10 minutes. Strain the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Shred the roast into big chunks and toss with the jus.
• For the herb salad: Toss the watercress and picked parsley with the lemon juice and olive oil to taste. Season with salt and pepper and top with the toasted almonds
• Serve on top of the Risotto Cakes and top with the fresh herb salad.
• For the risotto: In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth to a simmer. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots to the butter, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the Arborio rice and lightly toast, stirring to coat in the butter and shallots. Add the white wine, continuing to cook while stirring until the wine is absorbed. You should be able to run your spoon through the risotto and have the indentation stay.
• Using a ladle, add enough of the warm chicken broth to cover the rice, stirring constantly over medium heat until the broth is completely absorbed. Repeat the process 3 more times, adding the broth in stages while continuing to stir. Once all of the chicken broth has been added and the rice is tender, add the peas, lemon juice and lemon zest and stir to combine.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan, mozzarella and season with salt and pepper. Cool the risotto by spreading it evenly over a sheet tray. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Once the risotto is cooled, form the mixture into burger-size patties, about 1-inch thick. Set up a dredging station with the flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another and panko breadcrumbs in another. Dip the rice patties into the flour, then into the eggs and finally coat them in the panko breadcrumbs.
• In a large skillet, heat 1/2-inch vegetable oil over medium heat until a pinch of panko sizzles when dropped in the oil. Working in batches of 2 to 3, fry the risotto cakes until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side (use a fish spatula under the cake and the back of a fork on top to help stabilize while flipping). Transfer to a wire rack, which will help them stay crispy. Season with salt and they are ready to serve. Yield: 6 large cakes.

SLOW COOKER SUNDAY DINNER POT ROAST AND GRAVY RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Pat beef with paper towels and season all sides generously with salt and pepper.
• Sear beef in the saute pan until a nice crust forms (about 3 minutes on each side). Place beef in crock pot. Don't drain the drippings.
• Add carrots, onions, potatoes and garlic to the pan and saute for about 3 minutes.
• Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices) and stir to combine.
• Arrange vegetables over the beef in the crock pot and pour in the beef broth with the bouillon cube dissolved.
• Cook on low for 7-8 hours.
• Pour all the liquid out of the crock pot into a small or medium sauce pan. Let simmer over medium low heat for about 5 minutes.
• Mix butter and flour together in a small bowl and mash together with a fork until well combined (kind of like a buttery paste).
• Slowly whisk the butter mixture into the liquid from the crock pot until it starts to thicken and combine.
• If you like thick gravy, add the cornstarch as an added thickening agent. Just combine the cornstarch with cold water until dissolved and stir into the gravy, whisking until smooth.
• Season with freshly ground black pepper (I don't normally need anymore salt).
