Braised Beef Roast In Wine Vinegar Recipe - Cooking Index
I make this braised roast using an old homemade red wine vinegar, but any good-quality commercial brand will lend the right zing to the sauce.
Cuisine: Italian2 lbs | 908g / 32oz | Top round roast |
2 | Garlic cloves - slivered | |
Fine sea salt - to taste | ||
Coarsely-ground black pepper - to taste | ||
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Olive oil |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Onion - diced (large) |
1/4 cup | 59ml | Red wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Minced flat-leaf parsley |
3 tablespoons | 45ml | Minced fresh basil |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Carrot - peeled and shredded (large) |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Tomato paste |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Dry red wine |
Dry the roast well with paper towels. Make slits all over the roast and insert the garlic slivers. Rub the roast with salt and pepper.
In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Brown the roast slowly on all sides. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, or until they begin to wilt. Add the vinegar, parsley, basil, and carrot, and cook for 5 minutes.
Mix the tomato paste and wine together in a small bowl and add to the roast. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until a knife is easily inserted into the meat.
Remove the meat to a cutting board and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain the pan juices through a sieve set over a bowl, pressing on the solids with a wooden spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Set the pot aside.
Cut the roast into 1/4-inch slices. Return the meat to the pot, add the strained juices, and bring the juices to a simmer. Serve immediately, with some of the juices poured over the meat.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
