Michael Symons Pot Roast With Shaved Carrot Salad Recipes

POT ROAST

Steps:

• Sprinkle the meat liberally with the celery seeds, salt and pepper up to 1 day in advance. Remove the meat from the refrigerator 45 minutes to 1 hour before cooking to take the chill off it. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, followed by the brisket. Sear the meat until golden brown and crusty, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Set aside.
• Add the celery, carrots and onions to the Dutch oven, along with a pinch of salt. Brown the vegetables, about 3 minutes, then add the garlic and thyme and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Stir in the tomato paste and toast it until it's rust colored, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Add the meat back in, then add enough stock to cover the roast halfway. Bring the liquid to a simmer and taste for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary. Cover and roast in the oven, basting the meat occasionally, until the roast is tender, 3 to 4 hours.
• If you're serving individual plates, the meat can be removed to a cutting board and sliced. Or, the meat can be pulled apart with a couple of forks right in the pot at the table and served with plenty of the sauce and vegetables

MOM'S POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the meat with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Sear the meat all over, about 2 minutes per each side.
• Move the meat to the side (or remove it from the pot altogether if necessary), add the celery, carrot and onion and brown the vegetables, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for a minute or 2 longer. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Add the tomatoes, water and bay leaves (and the meat if you removed it). Bring the liquid to a simmer and taste for seasoning. Add more salt if necessary. Cover the pot and bake, basting the meat occasionally, until tender, about 3 hours.
• About 20 minutes before the meat is tender, bring a pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Add the shells, give it a stir and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta.
• To serve, you can pull the meat apart with a couple of forks right in the pot at the table. Serve with the pasta, plenty of sauce and vegetables, tossing them all together.

ROAST WITH ROOT VEGETABLES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

• Add the chicken stock to the pan and continue to roast to the desired tenderness and temperature, 165 to 190 degrees F for brisket. (See Cook's Note.) If you do racks or a leg of lamb, 135 degrees F and up is desired. For a pork rack or loin, cook to 145 degrees F and up. Remove the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes.
• While the meat is resting, stir the butter into the liquid in the pan with a splash of vinegar. Slice the meat and serve over the vegetables. Top with the sauce.

POT ROAST WITH CARROTS, SHALLOTS, MINT AND LEMON

Steps:

• Sprinkle the beef liberally with salt (about 4 tablespoons) and then refrigerate overnight, preferably on rack.
• Pull the beef out an hour before cooking to take the chill off of it. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Render the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until slightly crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve.
• Brown the beef on all sides in that same pan over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes per side. As you brown the smaller sides, add the shallots and carrots and begin to brown them. Once all sides of the beef are browned, remove to a plate. Add the garlic and thyme to the remaining vegetables with a pinch of salt and sweat until you get a slight caramelization and the vegetables start to release their aromas, about 4 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with the cider, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to get all of the caramelization into the sauce. This step will give you more depth to the finished sauce and add a layer of richness. Add the coriander and bay leaves, then the beer. Bring to a simmer. Add the beef back in, along with the bacon and enough of the stock to go three-quarters of the way up of the roast (about 1 cup, keeping in mind that the cooking liquid will reduce while it's in the oven).
• Baste the beef with the liquid, top with a lid and put it in the oven. Cook until tender, basting every hour, 3 to 4 hours.
• Remove the roast from the oven and skim any excess fat. Break the roast apart in the pan so that there are large chunks in the liquid. Gently remove the chunks of roast to a platter. Spoon the vegetables on top and garnish with the torn mint and lemon zest. Add a couple of spoonfuls of the braising liquid on top to spread the lemon and mint flavors throughout the dish. Serve.
