Best Foolproof Roast Beef And Vegetable Recipes

BEST-EVER ROAST BEEF WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 190°C.
• Mix together the mustard and black pepper in a small bowl and then spread it over the beef joint.
• Place the joint in a roasting pan/tin (my preference would be on a rack). cover with foil or a lid if your pan has one and bake for 45 minutes.
• During this 45 minutes cook the potatoes and pumpkin in a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes and then drain (could be done in the microwave).
• Put oil in a shallow sided baking tray and either heat up on the stove top or in the oven.
• Once thoroughly heated (this gives you the least amount of fat in the vegetables), add the vegetables and turn/toss them in the oil until coated.
• Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
• Uncover the beef and roast with the vegetables for a further 15 minutes.
• Lift out the beef and vegetables and put the tin/pan on the stove top and stir the cornflour into the pan juices, then blend in the stock.
• Bring to the boil, stirring until smooth.
• Carve the beef into slices and serve with the vegetables and gravy and garnish with parsley sprigs.

POT ROAST WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy pot or cast-iron Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown chuck roast in the hot oil completely, 5 to 8 minutes per side; season with salt and black pepper and transfer to a platter. Reserve oil in pot.
• Cook and stir onion and garlic in the oil until onions are golden, about 15 minutes. Stir beef stock, tomatoes, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, and bay leaves into onions and garlic; bring to a boil and place chuck roast into the mixture. Cover pot.
• Cook in the preheated oven until meat is very tender, 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Scatter carrot slices around the beef and bring to a boil over medium heat; return to oven for 30 more minutes. Distribute potatoes around the beef and vegetables, bring to a boil again over medium heat, and bake until potatoes are tender, about 30 more minutes.
• Transfer beef to a serving platter, cover loosely with a tent of aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
• Stir mushrooms into pan drippings; bring to a simmer over low heat. Whisk cornstarch into cold water in a small bowl and stir into the drippings. Season with celery salt, basil, and thyme. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaves. Slice beef; serve on a platter surrounded by vegetables. Pour gravy over beef.
