SIMPLE BEEF POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Pour vegetable oil into a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and black pepper. Brown the meat on both sides in the hot oil, and transfer to a plate.
• Stir carrots, celery, and onion into the pot, and cook and stir until vegetables start to release their juices, about 3 minutes; loosen any brown flavor bits on the bottom of the pot. Add butter, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Then sprinkle in rosemary, stir the vegetables, and return the roast to the pot. Cover the pot with a lid.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the chuck roast is tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Season vegetables with additional salt and black pepper, if desired.

• After 20 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees and continue roasting for at that temperature for 18 minutes per pound.
• *3lb Roast- 54 minutes

EASY ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a roasting pan with olive oil spray. Set aside.
• Rub the beef on all sides with the oil. Sprinkle with the Chili Powder. Using your fingertips, gently press the Chili Powder so it adheres to the beef. Transfer the beef to the roasting pan. Put the onion, carrots, and celery around the beef.
• In a small bowl, stir together the wine and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the beef.
• Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the beef registers almost the desired doneness. If the beef begins to dry out during cooking, baste with additional wine. Don't use the drippings for basting. Leaving the pan juices in the pan, transfer the beef to a cutting board, retaining the pan juices. Let stand, lightly covered with aluminum foil, for 10 to 15 minutes to continue cooking. Thinly slice the beef. Arrange on a platter.
• Meanwhile, skim the fat from the pan juices or remove the juices with a bulb baster and discard the fat. Stir the salt into the pan juices. Spoon over the sliced beef.
• Cook's Tip on Beef Temperatures
• Use a meat thermometer or an instant-read thermometer to determine the internal temperature. To be safe, cook beef to at least 160°F. For well-done, cook to 170°F.
• Cook's Tip on Separating Fat from Pan Juices
• A gravy separator, which looks like a measuring cup with a spout coming from the bottom, makes it easy to remove the fat from pan juices. Pour all the pan juices into the separator. After the fat rises to the top, simply pour the fat-free juice out of the bottom until the fat layer falls to the level of the spout. Discard what remains in the separator.

SLOW-ROASTED BEEF

Steps:

• Pat roast dry with paper towels. Rub generously with salt (at least 1/4 cup) and pepper on all sides. Shake the roast gently, allowing any excess salt and pepper to fall off.
• Place a wire rack in a small rimmed baking sheet or lay 5 to 6 metal skewers across a large plate or baking sheet. Place roast on top of rack or skewers, making sure it is fully elevated above the bottom of the baking sheet. Place elevated roast on the bottom rack of your refrigerator, uncovered (or loosely covered with foil, if you are squeamish about raw meat), and let rest undisturbed for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
• Transfer baking sheet with elevated roast directly from the refrigerator into a cold oven and set oven temperature to 225 degrees. Cook until the center of the roast reaches 120 degrees for rare, or 130 degrees for medium, as tested with a digital thermometer. Depending on the oven and the exact geometry of the roast, this will take 1 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove baking sheet with roast from oven and set on a trivet or on top of your stovetop. Let the roast rest on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet (any heavy skillet without a nonstick coating will do) over high until lightly smoking. Sear roast, turning occasionally, until well browned on all sides, about 4 minutes total.
• Carve into thin slices with a sharp knife and serve what you'll eat today. When finished, carve remaining roast. Carefully lay fanned slices into zipper-lock freezer bags in layers no thicker than 1/2 inch. Squeeze out as much air as possible and stack sealed bags on an aluminum baking sheet. Place in freezer until completely frozen. Store frozen for up to 2 months.
• To thaw, place one bag of frozen sliced steak on an aluminum baking sheet at room temperature until defrosted, about 45 minutes. It is important to use an aluminum sheet, as the high thermal conductivity of aluminum greatly speeds up the thawing process. Use thawed sliced steak as desired.
