Braised Beef Roast In Wine Vinegar

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: Italian
Type: Meat
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 lbs 908g / 32ozTop round roast
2   Garlic cloves - slivered
  Fine sea salt - to taste
  Coarsely-ground black pepper - to taste
1 tablespoon 15mlOlive oil
1 tablespoon 15mlOnion - diced (large)
1/4 cup 59mlRed wine vinegar
1 tablespoon 15mlMinced flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons 45mlMinced fresh basil
1 tablespoon 15mlCarrot - peeled and shredded (large)
1 tablespoon 15mlTomato paste
2 tablespoons 30mlDry red wine

Recipe Instructions

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.
