Irish Pot Roast Recipes

IRISH STOUT BEER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Mix beer, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, onion, and garlic together in a slow cooker. Season beef chuck roast with salt and pepper, and place in the slow cooker. Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the meat.
• Cook on Low for 6 hours, then add the celery. Continue cooking until the roast falls apart easily and the potatoes are softened, about 2 hours more. Serve the meat and vegetables with the remaining gravy on top.

IRISH POT ROAST

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge roast in flour mixture. Save remaining flour mixture for gravy.
• Heat oil in large skillet or frying pan, and sear roast on all sides until well browned.
• In crockpot, layer vegetables, ale, and beef broth on the bottom, then meat, then honey, then onions, garlic, and thyme. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high 4-5 hours. (Alternatively, roast in a 375°F oven for 2 1/2 hrs or until meat is very tender.).
• Mix water and reserved flour in bowl. Drain juices from crockpot into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then add flour slurry. Cook on medium-high heat until thick and bubbly.

IRISH ROAST BEEF WITH GUINNESS AU JUS

Steps:

• Place the beef in a roasting pan and pour the beer over the meat. Cover the pan with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight, turning once.
• Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Remove the roast from the stout and pat dry. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides. Set the browned roast on plate.
• Crush the rosemary, thyme, steak seasoning, and pepper in a mortar and pestle. Add the minced garlic and stir to make a paste. Spread the paste over the outside of the roast. Place the roast back into the roasting pan with the stout and cover loosely with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours. Add the potatoes to the roasting pan and leave off the foil to let the roast get a crispy coating.
• Bake to your desired degree of doneness, or an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) for medium, about another hour. Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 20 minutes before slicing.
• Pour the pan juices into a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer until the juices have reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Strain the juices and serve with the beef and roasted potatoes.
