THE CARTER'S ROAST - FUHRMANNSBRATEN - BRAISED BEEF ROAST

Steps:

• Melt the butter or oil in a pan which is large enough to hold your roast and comes with a tight-fitting lid.
• Rub the roast all over with salt, pepper and paprika and brown on all sides in the hot fat. Remove to a plate.
• Add the finely chopped vegetables and brown them, stirring often. Put the roast back in the pan.
• Add the tomato paste (thin with 1/2 cup water), and the spices. Pour another cup of water into the pan, stir and close the lid tightly.
• Braise on low heat for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, or until roast is fork tender. Check roast occasionally and add water as necessary.
• Remove the roast and keep warm.
• For a smooth sauce purée the vegetables using a hand blender. Add the sour cream to the sauce and heat through. Taste and adjust the seasonings. You may want to add a little lemon juice as well as salt and pepper.
• Tip: To keep the large allspice out of the sauce, you may wish to put them and the bay leaf in a twist of cheesecloth tied with string so that you can remove them before you finish the sauce.

BRAISED BEEF POT ROAST

• Trim the fat from the beef. Cut a piece of kitchen string about 4 times the length of the roast and tie it around the roast at regular intervals along it's length. In a large dutch oven, heat oil over moderately high heat. Brown beef all over, turning it with a long-handled fork, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add vegetables to the pan and saute, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes or until browned and slightly softened. Transfer the vegetables to a plate. Return roast to pot with wine, stock, herbs, and salt and pepper. Stir to blend. Cover and simmer gently, turning beef every 30 minutes, about 2 hours. Return the vegetables to the pot, cover, and continue to cook about 15 minutes or until the beef is very tender when pierced with a table fork. Discard bay leaf. Transfer the beef to a chopping board and remove the strings. Slice the meat and serve with the vegetables and pot juices.
