GINGERSNAP POT ROAST

Steps:

• Trim fat from roast. Cut if necessary to fit crock-pot.
• In large skillet brown roast on all sides in hot oil.
• In a small bowl combine water, gingersnaps, vinegar, bouillon, and red pepper.
• In crock-pot, place potatoes, carrots or parsnips, and bay leaf. Place meat on top of vegetables.
• Pour gingersnap mixture over meat.
• Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 10-12 hours or high-heat setting for 5-6 hours.

ASIAN STYLE POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
• Place a large, heavy, oven-safe pan with a tight fitting lid over high heat. When the pan is very hot, add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is shimmery, lay the chuck roast down on the hot pan and do not move it for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, lift the corner of the roast to see whether it has a dark brown surface. If it does not, continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes before flipping to cook the other side the same way. After the roast is well-browned on both sides, toss in the ginger and garlic, pour in the broth or stock and the fish or soy sauce, put the lid in place and put the covered pan in the preheated oven. Leave it alone without peeking in the pan for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, scatter the potatoes, carrots, and onions around the roast in the pan, replace the lid and cook for another hour or until the beef, potatoes, and carrots are all fork-tender. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a bowl (fishing out and discarding the pieces of ginger.) Use tongs to transfer the roast to a cutting board and lightly tent it with foil to prevent it from drying.
• You can cut the roast, drizzle the pan sauces over it, and serve it with the vegetables immediately, or you can thicken the sauces before serving. If desired, drizzle with soy sauce and toasted sesame oil.

PERFECT POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
• Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
• Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
• If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
• With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
• Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
• Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

SOY-GINGER POT ROAST

Steps:

Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender, 7-9 hours., Remove roast and onion to a serving platter; keep warm. Transfer cooking juices to a large saucepan; skim fat. Bring cooking juices to a boil. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Return to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with roast.

GINGERSNAP POT ROAST

Steps:

• 1. Roll meat in flour.
• 2. Brown on all sides in a pot (not Teflon coated pot).
• 3. When halfway done add onions and continue to brown. ***Please use care while doing this step as I have watched my mom turning the meat over and it fell off the fork and splashed the oil on her face***
• 4. Once all browned, cover with "BOILING" water, (if you add cold water it will make the meat tough).
• 5. Add 3/4 cup white vinegar, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, and 1 cup ketchup.
• 6. Let meat simmer for 2-3 hours.
• 7. Remove meat, strain onions out of water and throw out. ***I skim the onions out so as we don't have to dirty another pot to collect the juice use your own judgement***
• 8. Put liquid back into pot.
• 9. Add half the box of the gingersnap cookies. More can be added until you get the proper consistency. Remember, more water means more gingersnaps to make it thicker. I usually throw in at least one package depending on how much water there is. They can be crushed or whole as they will dissolve after a few minutes. If it's too thick, add 1/4 cup of water at a time until you have your desired consistency of gravy.
• 10. Once gravy thickens up, put the meat back in the sauce and let it sit for another 30 minutes.
• 11. Side dish with this we have mashed potatoes and green beans. I love the gravy.

Remove from heat and perform a quick release-pressure drop, remove lid.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325ºF.

• Add enough oil to a large Dutch oven to coat the bottom. Heat it over medium-high heat, add the roast, and sear 8 to 10 minutes total, turning to brown all sides. Transfer the roast to a bowl.
• Add the carrots, onions, and garlic and season lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté the vegetables until browned, 5 to 8 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Remove the vegetables and place in a clean bowl.
• Deglaze the pot with 1 cup of the cider. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any brown bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Add 2 cups of the broth and bring it to a boil again.
• Add 4 sprigs of the thyme, the rosemary, bay leaf, and roast to the pot (reserving the vegetables in the bowl). Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
• Cover the pot, place it in the oven, and roast for 2 hours. Add the reserved vegetables and roast for 1 more hour, until the roast is fork-tender but not mushy.
• Remove the roast and vegetables to a large bowl or platter and cover to keep warm. Let the braising liquid cool slightly, then strain the liquid into a bowl (discard the solids).
• Skim off any fat that has risen to the top.
• Purée the braising liquid in a blender.
• To make the sauce, heat 2 tablespoons oil in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the flour and stir to combine with the oil. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup cider and the tomato paste and mix well.
• Return the braising liquid to the pot along with the remaining 1 1/2 cups beef broth and the remaining 2 thyme sprigs. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce is thickened.

• Variations: Tipsy Pot Roast
• In many pot roast recipes, there is an element of alcohol. In mine, I use hard cider, but you can also try red wine, a heavy beer, or-for your Irish friends-Guinness. The booze gives the meat an extra dimension but won't get the family hammered.
