Herbed Beef Pot Recipes

DUTCH OVEN POT ROAST WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300° F.
• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish or dinner plate. Add the beef to the flour and coat each side, including the edges.
• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven, over medium-high heat. Add the beef to the pot, searing and browning it on both sides and the edges (about 3 to 4 minutes per side). Transfer the beef to a plate.
• Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and stir for 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant. Pour in the red wine and scrape the bits off the bottom of the pot.
• Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the Dutch oven then return the seared chuck roast. Add the potatoes, carrots, thyme, rosemary, oregano and bay leaves. (If you want firmer vegetables, add them during the last hour of the cooking time). Put the lid on the Pot and transfer it to the preheated oven and roast for 3 hours or until the meat shreds easily with a fork.
• Transfer the meat and the vegetables to a serving plate and cover with foil to stay warm while making the gravy.
• Discard the herbs and pour the braising liquid through a strainer. Measure out 2 cups of the braising liquid and return it to the Dutch oven or a small saucepan.
• Combine the butter and flour in a small dish. Stir until it becomes a smooth paste.
• Bring the braising liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove it from the heat and whisk in the butter-flour paste until completely melted. Return the pan to the heat and simmer briefly (stirring constantly), until thickened.
• Transfer the gravy to a serving container and serve with the pot roast.

HERBED BEEF POT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Season both sides of beef with salt and pepper.
• In a dutch oven or heavy skillet; brown both sides of beef in oil, until nice and browned.
• In a bowl, mix all ingredients except for the beef broth and Sherry. They are for thinning out the juices later.
• I used my dutch oven throughout the whole process. If you don't have one, use a small roaster. Place the beef in the pan, pour tomato mixture over the meat. Place lid on top and place in oven. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes; then lower heat to 350 and continue baking until beef is tender...mine was done in 2 hours. During the last 30 minutes, I added Sherry and beef broth to thin out the tomato mixture. Also gives the sauce a deeper, rich flavor.
• When the meat is able to be pulled apart with fork. Take from oven. Pull or cut the roast into bite sized pieces. Place the beef pieces back in with the sauce. Stir.
• Now, ladle over your noodles or potatoes...so, so flavorful...I keep tasting the sauce, if needs more seasoning, add to your preference.
