Chuck roast
Hi all,
Chuck roast was on sale and I picked one up. I was wondering about a few ways to prepare it. I already made this one by browning both sides and then adding some water, turning the temp down and slow cooking for a few hours. It came out very tender and excellent. I added onion in the final 45 minutes. I just can't do without that in this dish. Anyway, what other ways are there to prepare this? I used to add potatoes and carrots, but just went with onion to cut back on the carbs. Curt -- Started low carb May '03 this time. 211/182/177 . . 6'2" 15.78% BF?

It is very yummy after about 6 hours and you get great stock from it. Do you have a rotisserie on your BBQ? That would be good -- Deb 230/208.5/135 June 2002 - 260; Dec 2002 - 210; March 2004 - 230 Goal for May 31 - 209, reached on May 30 Goal for June 30 - 199 |

: Anyway, what other ways are there to prepare this? I used to add potatoes and carrots, but just went with onion to cut back on the carbs. My family likes it when I make small knife cuts and insert garlic cloves also. I throw one in the crockpot and add some beef based broth (not bullion as I dont like to add all the sodium but if you prefer you could use that) and spices like mrs dash and pepper. For veggies to add flavor celery adds a nice touch. I used the leftovers one time (nearly falling apart after the time cooking) to make a veggie and meat chili. Side dishes can change this meal up also, though my kids wont eat it here theres plenty DH and I like on the side: Sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and vadalia onions in vinegrette. Cole Slaw (mines more of a garlic recipe than a trad. sweet one.) Green beans with a touch of garlic and butter on them.(maybe even throw in some mushrooms to this one) Broccoli with a light alfredo sauce.(this one the kids eat all of lol) I change out the side dishes to make use of sales like that so the meal using the same meat a couple times in one week seems totally different. -- Low Carb since 11/12/03 235ish/175/135 Goal for June: 165 for a loss of 10 lbs. |

Chuck roast
I do mine in burgundy wine, also add onions. Make gravy with ThicknThin
NotStarch. I do cook carrots with it and limit myself to one with my meal, sometimes also cook potatoes for my SO. The gravy is good on the meat as well as the veggies. Here is a good crockpot recipe for chuck roast: Italian Beef 3-4 lb chuck roast 1 tsp. oregano (not ground) 2 tsp. lemon juice 2 whole cloves 5 bay leaves (3-5 depending on size) 1 pkg. dry beefy onion or onion soup mix. 3-4 pepperoncini peppers, just put slits in them Season the roast with season salt, garlic powder and pepper. Put in crockpot with the rest of the ingredients on top of that. Add enough beef broth or water to barely cover the roast. Cook on slow about 12 or 14 hours. The easiest way to shred the meat is with a potato masher. Check for seasoning and then add a couple of dashes of the pepperoncini juice. That is where the spiciness or heat comes from.

Chuck roast was on sale and I picked one up. I was wondering about a few ways to prepare it. I already made this one by browning both sides and then Brown the meat on all sides in a mixture of butter and olive oil. Remove the meat, replenish the oil, and fry some sliced onions and garlic until the onions are translucent. Return the meat to the pot, pour a glass of brandy over it, and light it. Add half a bottle of a good red wine; a bay leaf, a small bunch of parsley, and a small strip of orange zest tied together with a string; and plenty of black pepper. Close tightly and cook over low heat until tender. Remove meat to a deep platter and keep warm. Fish out the bay leaf etc. Boil the sauce down over high heat to reduce it so that it will just coat a tablespoon dipped into it. Adjust the seasoning. Slice the meat in the platter and pour the sauce over it. This goes very good with garlic mashed cauliflower and a simple salad of greens. -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |
