Port Pot Roast In A Pan For Two In A 15 Hours Recipes

STOVE TOP POT ROAST

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place the roast in the pot, and quickly brown on all sides.
• Fill the pot with enough water to cover the roast. Add the onion, garlic, celery, basil, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 hours and 15 minutes, adding water if needed to keep the roast covered. Add potatoes and turnips; simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Add carrots; simmer for 30 minutes, or until roast can be pulled apart with a fork. Taste, and adjust salt and pepper if needed before serving.

CLASSIC POT ROAST (COOKING FOR 2)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• Season beef with salt and pepper; coat with flour. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef in oil 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides.
• Place beef, onion and celery in baking dish. Pour broth over beef and vegetables. Cover; bake 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn beef over; add carrots and potatoes. Cover; bake 1 hour. Uncover; turn beef over and bake 30 to 35 minutes or until beef and vegetables are tender and broth is slightly thickened. Skim excess fat from broth, and serve.

POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Place roast in a large baking pan; arrange potatoes, onion, carrots, and celery around roast. Pour 3 cups water into baking pan. Season roast with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until roast is browned and cooked through, about 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Transfer roast to an oven-safe platter. Remove vegetables using a slotted spoon and arrange around roast.
• Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place platter with roast and vegetables in the oven to keep warm.
• Pour the remaining juices from the baking pan into a saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir 1/2 cup water and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; pour into boiling pan juices. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring constantly, until gravy is thick, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir in browning sauce.

PORT (POT) ROAST IN A PAN FOR TWO IN A 1.5 HOURS

Steps:

• Season meat on both sides and on the edges with seasonings.
• Brown meat on MED in the heaviest frying pan you have. You should have it just hot enough to hear it sizzle but not so hot that you can't leave without touching for about 5-7 minutes on each side. The trick here is to get it to brown. Try to avoid using a non-stick type pan. It will not give as good of crust. (personal experience). I use a small "Martha Stewart" cast iron frying pan that I got at Kmart for under $10. If your only pot that is heavy is a dutch oven then use it instead. The trick is to "sizzle it" for as long as possible without burning or turning it. The thicker and tougher it looks the better.
• Once the meat has browned sufficiently add the port and water just enough to barely cover the meat and cover. Continue cooking but lower the temp to as low as possible but still have it bubbling for 40 minutes.
• During the last 20 minutes at the veggies and try to wiggle them in to the sauce as much as you can. Add a touch more salt and water if you need to.
• Cover and continue cooking for 20 minutes.

POT ROAST WITH PORT (STOVE TOP)

Steps:

• In a large pan, heat oil and brown roast on both sides.
• Add wine to pan and simmer roast, uncovered, until wine is reduced to about 1/2 (this will take about 15 minutes or so----I usually turn the roast over at least once during this time).
• Add consomme and simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
• In a small frying pan mix flour with melted butter to make a roux (lightly browned).
• After roast has simmered for the 1 hour, add roux to meat and sauce, stirring to thicken.
• Add the mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Cover and simmer until tender, at least another 1/2 hour.
• This can be served over noodles or rice and garnished with chopped parsley.

PORTUGUESE POT ROAST IN WINE & GARLIC

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk half the wine into tomato paste until smooth.
• Stir in herbs. Set aside.
• Place beef and chourice pieces in covered (18 X 12 X 7 1/2-inch) oval roasting pan. Evenly distribute garlic and onions around meat. Pour in wine mixture. Add the water and remaining wine. Cover and marinate in refrigerator overnight or up to 48 hours.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove pan from fridge, place on bottom rack of oven and cook covered for 2 hours. As marinade reduces to gravy, baste meat often to keep moist.
• Remove chourice, cover with foil and keep warm.
• Lower temperature to 400 degrees. Add potatoes and carrots; cook covered for 30 minutes; uncover and continue cooking until meat is browned and potatoes tender, about 30 minutes more.
• Final Comments.
• NOTE: If gravy is too liquid, remove meat and vegs, place pan on top of stove and cook uncovered over medium-high heat until reduced. If too thick, add water.
