HOME-STYLE ROAST BEEF SANDWICH WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. For the roast: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the carrots, celery, and onion in the bottom of a roasting pan. (Nadine uses the vegetables instead of a rack.) Add enough water to just cover the vegetables.
• 2. Cut four X's in the sides or top of the meat and push in the garlic pieces. Rub the entire roast with olive oil and then dredge it in steak seasoning.
• 3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear all sides of the meat. Set the meat on top of the vegetables, cover the pan with foil, and roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the meat registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, about 2 hours. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• 4. To make the gravy : Strain the roasting-pan juices; discard the vegetables. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour. Stir in the roasting pan juices and the demiglace, and simmer until thickened.
• 5. Slice the roast beef very thin. Put the slices in the gravy. (Nadine likes to smother the beef in the gravy.) Plate up the sandwiches with the meat between two slices of white bread and ladle more of the gravy on top. Serve with mashed red potatoes.

BEEF GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut the meat and fat into small dice, put them into a roasting pan (along with bones) and roast in the oven for 1 hour, or until browned.
• Trim all the vegetables, chop them fine, add them to the browned meat in the pan and continue roasting for a half hour to an hour longer, or until they are browned (but not blackened). Meanwhile, boil the stock down by half in a stockpot.
• Remove the roasting pan from the oven, set it over a top burner, add a quart of the stock to it and stir and scrape the pan to release all the browning. Empty the pan into the stockpot, rinse it with a little water to get out any remaining pieces, add the rinse water to the pot, and simmer, covered, for 3 hours.
• Strain the finished gravy into a container and refrigerate both it and the residual solids overnight. Remove the cake of fat from the gravy before reheating. Add to the gravy any meat juices (defatted) that the roast gives up. (The solids may be made into a spread by adding salt, dry mustard and finely diced celery.)

ROAST BEEF & GRAVY

Steps:

• Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Rub 2 teaspoons salt evenly over the surface of the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
• Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Again, pat the roast dry with paper towels and rub with 1 teaspoon of pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown the roast on all sides, 8 to 12 minutes, then transfer to a V-rack set inside of a roasting pan (if you don't have a V-rack, use a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet.) Do NOT wipe out the Dutch oven. Transfer the roasting pan to the oven and cook until the center of the meat registers 120 to 125 degrees on an instant-read thermometer (for medium-rare), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Adjust cooking time, if you like your roast more or less done. Here is a list of temperatures to test for doneness: Cook until meat thermometer registers for -- RARE - 115 to 120 degrees -- MEDIUM-RARE - 120 to 125 degrees -- MEDIUM - 130 to 135 degrees -- MEDIUM-WELL - 140 to 145 degrees -- WELL-DONE - 150 to 155 degrees.
• Meanwhile, add the chopped mushrooms to the fat in the Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced onion, chopped carrot, and chopped celery and cook until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, minced garlic, and flour and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the red wine and broth, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain the gravy, then stir in the Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper, to taste; cover and keep warm.
• Transfer the roast to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes. Slice the roast crosswise against the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve with the gravy.
