Roast Beef Crock Pot Recipes Biography
Source(google.com.pk)
Thumb through any New England cookbook from the last hundred years and you’ll be hard pressed to find one without an entry for savory Yankee pot roast. As essential to winter survival here as snow tires and a good pair of slippers, this classic combination of tender beef, seasoned vegetables, and rich sauce is comfort food at its best, earning it a spot on menus and dinner tables across America.
“Pot roast,” as a term for browned meat cooked with vegetables in a covered pot, began appearing in cookbooks in the late 19th century, but this method of slow cooking in liquid, known as braising, is centuries older. Tough cuts, such as beef chuck, short ribs, and brisket, lamb shanks, and pork shoulder, are braising favorites because they’re rich in marbled fat and connective tissue, which converts to gelatin over long, gentle cooking times to produce both tender meat and a silken sauce. Coming from the more heavily “worked” parts of the animal, they have more flavor, so a good braise gives you delicious meat cooked down to pull-apart perfection.
The process usually begins with searing the meat. This step doesn’t hold moisture in, as cooks once believed, but it does create wonderful flavor. In his memoir/cookbook Grandma’s Cooking (Gramercy Publishing, 1955), journalist Allan Keller reflected on boyhood memories of his Connecticut grandmother’s Yankee pot roast, noting that she began by browning the meat in a piece of suet “the size of a large coffee cup,” complimentary from the local butcher.
Once the meat is browned, pot roast is simmered in a mixture of stock and tomatoes, seasoned with sautéed onion and herbs. Then, during the final hour, the cook adds his or her choice of vegetables for the final, tantalizing hour. Onions, carrots, parsnips, turnips, celery, potatoes—any can be used. As the good bit of Yankee kitchen wisdom says, “Whatever’s on hand is what works best.” Out of the oven, the meat is fork-tender, the sauce rich and flavorful, and the leftovers (if there are any) ready for reincarnation in sandwiches, hash, pastas, and savory pies.
Whether the “Yankee” in Yankee pot roast is a nod to the dish’s American regional origins or (as some suggest) a joke about New England frugality, a good Yankee pot roast embodies the traditions of simplicity and patience rewarded. “Like any great masterpiece, a Yankee pudding, pie, or roast is not dashed off in a trice,” Keller warned. “But when the lid is lifted and the aromas drift through the kitchen, it is like the spring that follows a hard, cold winter.

This recipe began down one path and ended on another. The path to the crock pot was not the intended path. But sometimes it’s fun to bypass the intended path and experience something else. Something exciting. Who needs rules and intended paths anyways? In this case, the path to a tender beef burgundy was supposed to begin and end in a 5 quart orange dutch oven. But this gal was like “Oh no, this roast isn’t going to cook right in a dutch oven” so she panicked and moved that roast over to the crock pot and the rest is tender beef history.
Silly me for thinking a dutch oven could win over a crock pot. Crock Pot > Dutch Oven. What can I say? I’m a total crock pot kind of gal when it comes to a tender beef roast. Dutch oven: you will win when it comes to soups and chowders.

I’m not someone you would call a wine connoisseur. I don’t know much about it and I rarely drink it. I know which wines go great with chicken and seafood. But with beef, I wasn’t sure. I knew red wine was the winner but I didn’t realize there were so many different types of red wines. Luckily, my favorite grocery store in the world has these pretty sweet wine guides posted in the wine isle. They helped me realize that I needed a full bodied red wine to use for my beef recipe. Thank you, wine guide life saver.
