Pioneer Womans Whiskey Glazed Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Generously sprinkle the chuck roast with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast in the pot for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown. Remove to a plate.
• Add the carrots and onions to the pot and cook until brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for another minute. Turn off the heat and add the whiskey, deglazing and scraping the bottom of the pot. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway. Add the rosemary and thyme.
• Cover the pot with the lid, transfer to the oven and roast until the meat is fall-apart tender, about 4 hours. Break the beef apart with tongs or whatever cutlery you have on hand and serve with some of the carrots from the pot, the whiskey sauce and a side of mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of the butter in a large skillet (with a lid) over high heat. Add half the carrots and stir them around to brown them quickly, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining carrots.
• Pour the whiskey into the skillet, taking care if you're cooking over an open flame. Let the whiskey bubble up and cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the other 1/2 stick of butter and stir it around until it's melted. Stir in the brown sugar and some salt and pepper. Add the leaves from 1 of the sprigs of thyme, then add the carrots. Reduce the heat to low, place the lid on the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Serve garnished with the remaining thyme sprig.

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large pan over high heat.
• Add carrots in a few batches, cooking each batch for about a minute and a half. Don't overwhelm the pan. Remove from pan.
• Pour whiskey and allow to evaporate for 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining butter.
• When butter melts, add brown sugar and stir together.
• Add carrots to pan, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
• Remove lid, add salt and pepper.
• Continue cooking until glaze is thick and carrots are at desired tenderness (about 5 minutes).
• Place carrots on a serving platter and drizzle remaining glaze over the top.
• Serve hot with green onion slices on top.
