Roast Beef Takes on a New Twist

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my food blog! I am a Personal Chef in Oro Valley and I am a true "foodie". There isn't a day that goes by that I don't learn something new about food! I want to help families get back to the dinner table one recipe at a time! I also want to share my Midwest food Roots here in the Southwest I hope you find my postings to be helpful and my recipes useful! Cheers! The weather in Southern Arizona has been a little below normal these past few days.  I can hardly believe that I think 50 degrees in cold, considering I grew up in Minnesota where we would LOVE 50 degrees the first week in December.  But when it gets cold, I just want to eat some comfort food!  Nothing is better in my opinion than a Roast Beef Dinner with all of the trimmings.  I usually just put a beef roast in the crock pot with some beef bouillon, onions, pepper, salt and water and let it cook all day long; but I decided to get out of the box and try a new recipe in my Dutch oven, It was superb!  Going forward this is the new way to make beef roast!

 

1 Tablespoon unsalted butter – room temp.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  Pat the beef dry with a paper towel.  By patting the beef dry, this will ensure that the roast will get a nice, crisp crust on the outside and the juices will stay in the meat.  Season the roast all over with 1 T. of salt and 1 1/2 tsp. of pepper.  Dredge the whole roast in flour, including the ends.  In a large Dutch oven * , heat 2 T. olive oil over medium heat.  Add the roast and sear for 4 to 5 min.  until nicely browned.  Turn and sea the other sides and the ends as well.  Remove roast to a large plate.

*If you don’t have a dutch oven, you can brown and cook the roast in a deep covered roasting pan and with get a similar effect.

Add another 2 T. olive oil to Dutch oven.  Add the carrots, celery, leeks, garlic and 1/2 T. of salt and 1 1/2 tsp. pepper and cook over medium heat until tender; but not browned about 15 min.  Add the tomatoes, chicken stock, bouillon cube, 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper.  Tie the thyme and rosemary together with kitchen string and add to the pot.
