No Fuss Beef Roast Recipes

NO-FUSS POT ROAST WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (See below for instructions for using a crock-pot).
• In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and then brown the roast all over. This sears in the juices and releases some of the fat so you get a moister roast as an end result.
• In a small bowl mix together the beef broth, coffee, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic. Wait on preparing the carrots and potatoes till a bit later.
• Spray a dutch oven or large roasting pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place roast in center of pan and pour broth mixture around the roast. Place the sliced onions around the roast.
• Cover and bake 2 1/2 hours. At about the 2 hour mark prepare and cut your vegetables.
• Add sliced carrots and potatoes to the sides of the roast. Cover and bake another 1-1 1/2 hours (until vegetables are tender and roast is finished).
• Remove beef and vegetables from the roasting pan to a platter and keep warm (cover with foil).
• Skim fat from drippings left in the roasting pan and keep drippings warm (not boiling - just lightly simmering).
• Whisk the flour and water together until smooth. Add at very small increments to the simmering drippings and whisk constantly to keep smooth and lump free. The key to this is not boiling the liquid but keeping at a nice simmer. Continue cooking 2-4 minutes until it is smooth and nicely blended. Remove from heat.
• Slice beef thinly and serve with the vegetables and gravy.
• CROCKPOT METHOD:.
• Spray crock lightly. Place onions, carrots and potatoes in the bottom of the crock. Place roast on top of the vegetables. Pour broth mixture around the roast.
• Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours.

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Season beef with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add beef and cook until evenly browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, wine, flour, tomato paste and Worcestershire; set aside. Place potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme and bay leaf into a 6-qt slow cooker. Stir in beef broth mixture; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with beef. Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours, or until meat is fork-tender. Remove beef, potatoes, carrots, celery and onion from the slow cooker; shred beef, using two forks. Cover with aluminum foil. Strain cooking juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan over medium heat; discard solids. Skim any remaining fat from surface and discard. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, whisking constantly, until desired thickness, about 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve beef, potatoes, carrots, celery and onion with juices immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
