👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Prepare the beef: Pat the beef roast completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving a good sear. Season generously on all sides with salt and black pepper.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Sear the beef: Heat the vegetable oil or lard in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the seasoned beef roast into the hot pot. Sear for about 3-5 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms all over. This step builds flavor and color. Remove the seared beef from the pot and set aside.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
Sauté aromatics: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, cumin, and oregano. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Braise the roast: Return the seared beef roast to the pot, nestling it amongst the vegetables. Pour in the beef broth or water, ensuring it comes about halfway up the sides of the roast. Add the bay leaves. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Cook low and slow: Cover the pot tightly with a lid. Transfer the pot to a preheated oven at 160°C (325°F). Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily pulls apart. Check periodically and add a little more broth or water if the liquid level gets too low.
⏱️ 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours - 6
Rest and serve: Once tender, carefully remove the beef roast from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing or shredding. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in moister meat. Skim any excess fat from the surface of the braising liquid. The vegetables and liquid will have formed a rich gravy. You can serve the gravy as is, or thicken it slightly with a cornstarch slurry if desired. Slice or shred the beef and serve hot, spooning the flavorful gravy over the top.
