Guinness Braised Pot Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Place the beef in a roasting pan and pour the beer over the meat. Cover the pan with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight, turning once.
• Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Remove the roast from the stout and pat dry. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides. Set the browned roast on plate.
• Crush the rosemary, thyme, steak seasoning, and pepper in a mortar and pestle. Add the minced garlic and stir to make a paste. Spread the paste over the outside of the roast. Place the roast back into the roasting pan with the stout and cover loosely with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours. Add the potatoes to the roasting pan and leave off the foil to let the roast get a crispy coating.
• Bake to your desired degree of doneness, or an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) for medium, about another hour. Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 20 minutes before slicing.
• Pour the pan juices into a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer until the juices have reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Strain the juices and serve with the beef and roasted potatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole and brown the meat on all sides; remove from pan and drain.
• Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender and just starting to brown, stirring constantly.
• Add the celery, carrots, and potatoes and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until they start to get some color.
• Add the flour and cook for 1 more minute; blend in the stock and Guinness, mixing until combined.
• Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Add the bay leaf, thyme, sugar.
• mustard, tomato paste, and season to taste with the salt and pepper.
• Place the brisket on top, and cover tightly; place in the oven and cook for 2 1/2 hours or until meat and vegetables are tender (adjust the seasoning and add a pinch more of sugar if necessary).

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
• If you have a big piece of meat, cut it in half or in quarters.
• On high heat, brown each side of the meat and sear it so you get burnt little bits stuck to the bottom of your pan. This will create deep flavor!
• Add the onions all around the meat, and saute for a few minutes, or until the onions begin to soften. Turn the heat to medium if the onions are scorching, but keep stirring them around.
• Once the onions are near translucent, pour both bottles of Guinness over the meat.
• Add the thyme and other spices and stir.
• Cover and cook on low heat, simmering, for about 2 hours. At this point, your meat should shred slightly when poked with a fork. If it doesn't, let it cook for another half hour, and check again.
• Once the meat is at the just shredding point, make a slurry of the cornstarch and a bit of water and poor into the pot and gently stir.
• The sauce should thicken a bit as it continues to cook over the next few minutes.
• Season the gravy with salt and pepper to your liking.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies for true comfort food!
