Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the sacchétto di spezie
One 5-inch sprig fresh thyme
5 fresh Italian, flat leafed parsley stems
2 dried bay leaves or 1 fresh bay leaf
One 5-inch sprig fresh rosemary
2 juniper berries, crushed
For the pot roast
One 2-pound piece shoulder of beef, bottom round, or pot roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour for dusting
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup coarsely chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped onion (1 medium-size onion)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped carrot (1 medium-size carrot)
1 bottle (750ml) dry red wine
1/2 cup dried porcini mushrooms, coarsely chopped and soaked in 1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups canned whole or crushed plum tomatoes
Chicken broth or water as needed
2 tablespoons arrowroot or cornstarch
1/4 cup dry red or white wine

Steps:

  • To prepare the sacchétto di spezie:
  • Combine all the ingredients in the center of a piece of cheesecloth that is large enough to hold the herb sprigs, and tie in a bundle with butcher's string.
  • To prepare the pot roast:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • 2. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then lightly dust with flour. Melt the butter in a large (6-quart) flameproof casserole set over medium-high heat. When it is foaming, add the beef and brown it on all sides, 5 minutes. Add the celery, onions, carrot, and sacchétto di spezie. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften slightly, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to high and add the bottle of wine. Cook until the wine begins to boil, about 2 more minutes, skimming off any fat that rises to the surface.
  • 3. Strain the porcini mushrooms through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving the liquid. Rinse the mushrooms under cold running water to remove any grit, and add them to the casserole along with the strained mushroom liquid, tomato paste, and tomatoes. The liquid should just cover the meat. If it does not, add chicken broth or water. Cover the casserole and bake it in the oven until the meat is cooked through and tender, about 2 hours. Remove the meat from the casserole to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and set aside.
  • 4. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the vegetables and herb bag. Pour the broth back into the casserole and set it over high heat. Bring to a boil and add the arrowroot and the 1/4 cup wine. Cook to reduce and thicken the liquid, about 5 minutes. Carve the meat into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Serve immediately, spooning some of the broth over each portion.

ITALIAN BRAISED BEEF WITH ROOT VEGETABLES



Italian Braised Beef with Root Vegetables image

My mom, Angel, has always been the best cook in the neighborhood and everybody knew it. In the 1970s and '80s, when most of my friends were eating fast food and processed junk, all the kids wanted to come to my house for dinner. (We weren't going to go to the neighbors' houses to eat TV dinners.) This is one of the meals Mom would fix when I was growing up because it was easy, delicious and inexpensive, and it fed a crowd. This was my introduction to braising, the first braised dish I ever made-and I didn't even know we were braising. Mom called it pot roast and we had it weekly. And in true Italian pot roast fashion, we'd eat it over rigatoni. I now sometimes serve it over soft polenta with mascarpone, another excellent option. It showed me how much I loved the deep complex flavors of braises generally, which I prefer to eat over just about any other kind of dish. One of the pleasures of this meal is the big chunks of carrots and celery root that cook in that delicious liquid for four hours; they take on all the flavors of the braising liquid. They don't taste like carrots and celery root anymore; they taste like a steak, and that's why they're so good. A couple of critical steps in this recipe are getting a good sear on the meat and caramelizing the vegetables in the pot before deglazing. Beyond that, the red sauce is critical. And I also think it's important that a third of the meat be above the liquid-one of the factors that for me defines braising-so pot size is important; it shouldn't be so small that the meat is submerged or so big that the meat is sitting in just an inch of liquid.

Time 12h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/4 cup olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon kosher salt, or more as needed
6 cloves garlic, sliced
Two 28-ounce cans San Marzano tomatoes, with their juice
2 pounds meaty beef bones
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
3 pounds rump roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 carrot, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 small celery root, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup red wine
2 cups Yia Yia's Sunday Sauce
2 bay leaves, preferably fresh
1 1/2 pounds dried rigatoni, for serving

Steps:

  • For Yia Yia's Sunday sauce: Heat the oil in a 4-quart saucepan or large Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the beef bones. Add the onions and cook until translucent, 2 minutes. Add the salt and garlic and cook until everything is soft but not browned, about 3 minutes. Squeeze the tomatoes one by one into the pan, pulverizing them by hand, and pour in their juice, too. Add the wine, oregano, red pepper flakes, if using, black pepper and bay leaf. Bring the sauce to a simmer, and then reduce the heat to its lowest possible setting, and continue to cook for 8 hours. The sauce should reduce by about one-third. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if necessary. Remove the bones and bay leaf. Set aside 2 cups. If not using the remaining sauce right away, let it cool, then cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months. Yield: 8 cups.
  • For the braised beef with root vegetables: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Sprinkle the meat liberally with salt and pepper as much as 1 day in advance. (Cover and refrigerate it if doing so and take the meat out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.) Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. When the oil is on the verge of smoking, sear the meat for about 2 minutes per side. Move the meat to the side (or remove it from the pot altogether if necessary), and add the carrots, celery root and onions. Brown the vegetables for about 3 minutes, and then add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Pour in the wine and deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Add Yia Yia's Sunday Sauce, 1 cup water and the bay leaves (and the pot roast if you removed it). Bring the liquid to a simmer and taste for seasoning. Add more salt if necessary. Cover the pot and place it in the oven for 3 hours, basting the meat occasionally during cooking time. When almost ready to serve, make the rigatoni, if using. Boil in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Discard the bay leaves before serving. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and slice into bite-size pieces, or shred with 2 forks. Return the meat to the pot of sauce along with the drained rigatoni. Toss to coat, and serve.

BRAISED SUNDAY POT ROAST

Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 cup carrots, chopped
1/4 cup vegetable oil
5-pound beef roast, (chuck, rump or bottom round) covered with a layer of fat and tied
2 cloves garlic, each cut into slivers
2 tomatoes, chopped
Bouquet garni parsley, leeks, bay leaf, celery stalk, sprig thyme or teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a casserole large enough to hold the meat, heat the butter. When foaming subsides add the onions and carrots and saute for about 10 minutes or until they take on some color. With a slotted spoon remove them and reserve for later.
  • Add the oil to the casserole and heat over high heat. Add the beef and brown the meat on all sides; this should take 15 minutes to get a deep golden color. Return the vegetables to the casserole, stuffing them underneath the meat. Add the garlic, tomatoes, bouquet garni. Heat the casserole until you hear it sizzle, drape the meat loosely with aluminum foil, cover the casserole tightly and place it in the lower third of the oven.
  • Cook for 1 hour, turn the meat over, lower the heat to 325 and continue to cook until the beef is tender, another 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the meat to a platter. Strain cooking juices into a saucepan, pressing down hard on the vegetables to extract their liquid. Let liquid settle for a minute, then skim off surface fat. Heat the liquid and reduce slightly; adjust seasoning. Slice the roast and spoon the gravy over the top. Serve with braised carrots and boiled parslied potatoes (make extra for cold potato salad and beef salad next day).
