Best Beef Roast In Pinot Noir Sauce Recipes

BEEF ROAST IN PINOT NOIR SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Trim the roast of excess fat. Add olive oil to a large pot or roasting pan and heat over medium-high heat. Place roast in a large pot and sear on all sides. This will take about one minute per side. Then remove the roast and set aside. Then, sprinkle the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and thyme onto the roast. Make sure you cover all sides with seasonings
• Cut shallots in half and remove skins. Next, add the shallots to the pot and cook until browned. Remove the shallots and set aside.
• Add red wine to the juices from the onions and the seared meat. Continue to cook on high heat while removing any browned bits. Once the pot is de-glazed remove all of the juices into a sauce pot.
• Place shallots and roast into roasting pan and place in the preheated oven. Roast for one hour per pound of roast. So, a three-pound roast will cook for three hours. The goal is for a tender roast that is just falling apart.
• Meanwhile, in the sauce pot, stir together beef broth and Pinot Noir. Bring to a rolling boil and hold at a boil for 6-8 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 2 cups.
• After the roast is cooked, place on a serving platter and cover with aluminum foil to help keep it warm. Arrange shallots around the roast.
• Add wine mixture to the pan, and place over medium heat, stirring to release the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and water until smooth, then stir into the sauce in the roasting pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Add butter, stirring just until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the sauce over the roast and shallots and serve.

HERB-CRUSTED BEEF RIB ROAST WITH POTATOES, CARROTS, AND PINOT NOIR JUS

Steps:

• For roast beef:
• Pat roast dry and put, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan.
• Coarsely crush peppercorns in a mortar and pestle or folded kitchen towel (not terry cloth) with a meat pounder or bottom of a heavy skillet. Stir together peppercorns, 3 tablespoons kosher salt, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl.
• Rub roast all over with oil, then coat it all over with peppercorn mixture, pressing to help it adhere. Let coated roast stand at room temperature 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in lower third. Roast beef roast 20 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat (do not touch bone) registers 110°F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Transfer to a platter (keep fat and pan juices in roasting pan) and let stand, uncovered, 40 minutes (temperature of meat will rise to about 130°F for medium-rare).
• While roast stands, put second oven rack in upper-third position and increase oven temperature to 450°F. Line 1 sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Strain pan juices from roasting pan through a sieve into a glass measuring cup (reserve roasting pan). Drain potatoes well and toss in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons melted beef fat from roasting pan and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, then spread out on parchment-lined sheet pan. Toss carrots in same bowl with another 3 tablespoons beef fat from pan and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, then spread out on other rimmed sheet pan. Roast vegetables in upper and lower thirds of oven, stirring occasionally and switching position of pans halfway through roasting, until golden, 25 to 30 minutes for carrots and 30 to 35 minutes for potatoes.
• Make jus while vegetables roast:
• Skim off and discard any remaining fat from pan juices. Set pan over 2 burners. Add 1 cup of wine and deglaze pan by boiling it over high heat, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Pour into pan juices in cup.
• Cook shallot in 1 tablespoon butter with remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Add wine mixture in cup, along with remaining wine in bottle, and boil over high heat until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 10 minutes.
• Add broth and continue to boil over high heat until mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Strain mixture through a sieve into another saucepan and whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter (cut into pieces) until incorporated. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
• To carve roast, slide a carving knife along inside of ribs to separate meat from bones, then cut ribs into individual bones. Slice meat and serve with vegetables and jus.
