POT ROAST WITH ONION SAUCE AND PASTA

Steps:

• 1 Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a large Dutch oven or other deep, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the meat and brown it well on all sides, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper. When the meat is completely browned, transfer it to a plate and drain the fat from the pot. 2 Pour 1 cup water into the pot and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the onions, carrots, salami, and prosciutto to the pot. Return the roast to the pot. Cover and bring the liquid to a simmer. 3 Transfer the pot to the oven. Cook, turning the meat occasionally, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. or until it is very tender when pierced with a fork. 4 About 20 minutes before the meat is done, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt, then the pasta, gently pushing it down until it is completely covered with water. Cook until al dente, just tender yet firm to the bite. 5 When done, transfer the meat to a platter. Cover and keep warm. Let the sauce cool slightly. Puree the contents of the pot by passing it through a food mill or blending it in a food processor or blender. Taste and adjust seasoning. Return the sauce to the pot with the meat. Reheat gently. 6 Serve some of the sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle with the cheese. Reheat the sauce and meat if necessary. Slice the meat and serve it as a second course with the remaining sauce.

COFFEE BRAISED POT ROAST WITH ONION SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat and brown the beef on all sides. Spoon the onions around the roast and pour in the coffee and broth. Add the salt, pepper, thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and cover. Put the pot into oven and cook 1 hour and 40 minutes. Baste occasionally.
• Remove the roast from pan and let rest 15 minutes.
• Remove the onions from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Discard the bay leaf; degrease the liquid.

EASY ONION POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
• In a large casserole dish or Dutch oven or roaster (it should be able to go on the burner as well as go in the oven), spread half the onions.
• Rinse roast under the tap, pat dry with paper towel, and place on onion mixture.
• Cover with remaining onions and all the garlic; sprinkle pepper and thyme over top.
• Mix together the 1 cup water and worcestershire, and pour over roast.
• Cover and cook in preheated oven for 2-1/2 to 3 hours, or until roast is tender. (I turn the roast over after half the cooking time has past, although the original recipe did not call for it)
• Place meat and onions on a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm; if you let the roast stand for 10 to 15 minutes it will be easier to carve.
• Meanwhile, add enough liquid to the pot, if necessary, so you have 2 cups (use water, wine, beef broth, whatever you wish-- I use beef broth and red wine combined, usually); skim off any visible fat.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in the 2 tbsp cold water; stir into pan juices.
• Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for about 3 minutes or until the gravy is boiling and is thickened.
• Strain gravy if desired, carve roast into thin slices, and serve.
