Ciao, FDB. It’s been a minute.
I had enough down time for the first time in a while, so I decided to cook something up last night to have for Sunday dinner.
-5 lbs chuck roast
-1 head garlic, skinned
-salt and pepper
-EV olive oil
-1 qt beef broth
-1 large red onion, chopped
-6 medium carrots, chopped
-2 celery stalks chopped
-handful of dried mushrooms (dealer’s choice)
-2 heaping tbsp tomato paste
-1 large can crushed SM tomatoes
-fresh thyme
-2 bay leaves
The victims:
Stuff/stud the roast with salt, pepper, garlic. You know the drill. Mince and reserve the remaining garlic:
Season the outside of the roasts with remaining salt and pepper:
Brown off the roasts in olive oil over medium high heat:
Build that fond:
Deglaze with about 3/4c beef stock:
Good smells from the kitchen attract an admirer:
Once the stock is cooked out, add the Italian trinity:
While your soffritto cooks down, reconstitute the dried mushrooms:
Add reserved garlic:
Add tomato paste and fry it off a bit:
Add the crushed tomatoes:
Add about 3 cups beef stock:
Get the roasts back into the pot and bring to a low simmer
Strain the mushrooms and add the liquid to the pot for flavor. Chop the mushrooms and add to the pan:
Add a few sprigs of thyme and a couple bay leaves. Cover and simmer while you preheat the oven to 350:
Remove from oven after 3 to 3-1/2 hours or when desired level of tenderness is reached:
I’ll be serving this with a homemade fontina mac and cheese. It’s also great with polenta.
Money shot to follow tonight.

That roast looks delicious, and I am obsessed with your Dutch oven.

Keep an eye out for sales as we get closer to Black Friday/Christmas. Staub and Le Crueset have both had some really good deal the last few years on their big dutch ovens.

That looks amazing. But I’m afraid you offended 2 Italians in the process.

My dad hates the moniker; I embrace it.

I have the world's smallest kitchen so no room for anymore cookware currently . Thanks, Boston.
I had to get both a baker's rack and a hutch just to hold what we already possess. I take solace in the fact that at least we do have a sweet Magnalite.
Someday I will own a gorgeous Le Creuset.
