Simon And Garfunkel Pot Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Sprinkle the meat liberally with the celery seeds, salt and pepper up to 1 day in advance. Remove the meat from the refrigerator 45 minutes to 1 hour before cooking to take the chill off it. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, followed by the brisket. Sear the meat until golden brown and crusty, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Set aside.
• Add the celery, carrots and onions to the Dutch oven, along with a pinch of salt. Brown the vegetables, about 3 minutes, then add the garlic and thyme and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Stir in the tomato paste and toast it until it's rust colored, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Add the meat back in, then add enough stock to cover the roast halfway. Bring the liquid to a simmer and taste for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary. Cover and roast in the oven, basting the meat occasionally, until the roast is tender, 3 to 4 hours.
• If you're serving individual plates, the meat can be removed to a cutting board and sliced. Or, the meat can be pulled apart with a couple of forks right in the pot at the table and served with plenty of the sauce and vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the meat with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Sear the meat all over, about 2 minutes per each side.
• Move the meat to the side (or remove it from the pot altogether if necessary), add the celery, carrot and onion and brown the vegetables, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for a minute or 2 longer. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Add the tomatoes, water and bay leaves (and the meat if you removed it). Bring the liquid to a simmer and taste for seasoning. Add more salt if necessary. Cover the pot and bake, basting the meat occasionally, until tender, about 3 hours.
• About 20 minutes before the meat is tender, bring a pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Add the shells, give it a stir and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta.
• To serve, you can pull the meat apart with a couple of forks right in the pot at the table. Serve with the pasta, plenty of sauce and vegetables, tossing them all together.

Steps:

• Pour the gravy into a slow cooker, and mix with water until smooth. Stir in half the thyme, rosemary, sage, and onion salt.
• Mix the remaining thyme, rosemary, sage, and onion salt in a bowl, and stir in the olive oil to make a paste. Rub the paste all over the beef roast, and place the roast into the gravy. Place the lid on the slow cooker, and set to low setting.
• Cook until the roast is very tender and the gravy is thickened, 8 to 9 hours.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 300°F.
• Thoroughly pat roast dry with paper towels; sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
• Brown roast thoroughly on all sides, reducing heat if fat begins to smoke, 8- 10 minutes.
• Transfer roast to a large plate; set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium; add onion, carrot, and celery to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 6- 8 minutes.
• Add garlic and sugar; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add chicken and beef broths and thyme, scraping bottom of pan with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits.
• Return roast and any accumulated juices to pot; add enough water to come halfway up sides of roast.
• Bring liquid to simmer over medium heat, then cover tightly and transfer pot to oven.
• Cook, turning roast every 30 minutes until fully tender and meat fork slips in and out of meat very easily (3 1/2- 4 hours).
• Transfer roast to carving board, tent with foil to keep warm.
• Allow liquid in pot to settle about 5 minutes, then use wide spoon to skim fat off surface; discard thyme sprig.
• Boil over high heat until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, about 8 minutes.
• Add red wine and reduce again to 1 1/2 cups, about 2 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cut meat into 1/2 inch slices, or pull apart in pieces; transfer meat to warmed serving platter and pour about 1/2 cup sauce over meat.
• Serve, passing remaining sauce.
• Note: Can add small red potatoes and sliced carrots and/or parsnips about 45 minutes before roast is finished.

Steps:

• Pour the gravy into a slow cooker, and mix with water until smooth. Stir in half the thyme, rosemary, sage, and onion salt.
