Grandma Ettas Chuck Steak Fry Roast Recipes

GRANDMA ETTA'S CHUCK STEAK FRY-ROAST

Steps:

• Heat a frying pan; add oil; fry the steak a minute on both sides.
• Add vinegar, add any salt, add the onions and let them fry a couple of minutes.
• Add a little water (just enough to cover bottom of pan).
• Add carrots, celery, garlic, and any salt and pepper.
• Bring to a simmer; cover and cook for 45 minutes to 1-1/2 hours.
• Only remove the cover to see if you need to add water.

GRANDMA'S BEST POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Trim excess fat from roast, leaving about 1/4 inch fat. Liberally season all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place roast, fat-side up, in a Dutch oven. Place onions on and around the roast.
• Cover and bake until aromatic, about 1 1/2 hours. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake, turning the meat every 30 minutes and keeping covered, until roast is browned and cooked through, about 3 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
• Check tenderness of roast with a fork; if not tender enough, add additional cook time in 30-minute increments until meat easily falls apart.
• Remove from the oven and transfer roast to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk water and flour together in a small bowl.
• Place the Dutch oven, uncovered, on the stovetop over medium heat. Smash the remaining onion pieces and stir, being careful not to let the gravy burn. Slowly add water-flour mixture, whisking until cooked through and desired thickness is achieved.
• Slice roast and serve alongside gravy.

GRANDMA'S ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium heat. Add potatoes, carrots, shallots, and garlic; cook, stirring to combine. Add thyme and bay leaf; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a roasting pan over high heat. Add beef and cook, turning, until browned on all sides. Transfer to oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak reaches 120 degrees for rare, about 35 minutes.
• Remove roast from oven and tent with aluminum foil; let stand 10 minutes. Do not turn off oven.
• Transfer roast to a cutting board.
• Add wine to roasting pan, scraping bottom to remove browned bits. Add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and stir until smooth and creamy. Add vegetables to roasting pan; transfer to oven and roast for 5 minutes. Slice beef and serve with vegetables.
