Pot Roast with Carrots, Shallots, Mint and Lemon
RECIPE COURTESY OF MICHAEL SYMON
Level: Easy
Total: 5 hr (includes basting time)
Active: 5 hr
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
One 5-pound chuck blade roast, silver skin removed
Kosher salt
1 pound slab bacon, large dice
Olive oil, if necessary
10 shallots, peeled and left whole
4 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
5 to 6 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
10 sprigs thyme, tied with butcher’s twine
16 ounces apple cider
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 fresh bay leaves (dry are OK, too)
Four 12-ounce lager or porter beers
1 cup chicken or beef stock (preferably homemade)
1 cup mint leaves, torn
1 to 2 lemons, zest only
Directions
Sprinkle the beef liberally with salt (about 4 tablespoons) and then refrigerate overnight, preferably on rack.
Pull the beef out an hour before cooking to take the chill off of it. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Render the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until slightly crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve.
Brown the beef on all sides in that same pan over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes per side. As you brown the smaller sides, add the shallots and carrots and begin to brown them. Once all sides of the beef are browned, remove to a plate. Add the garlic and thyme to the remaining vegetables with a pinch of salt and sweat until you get a slight caramelization and the vegetables start to release their aromas, about 4 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with the cider, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to get all of the caramelization into the sauce. This step will give you more depth to the finished sauce and add a layer of richness. Add the coriander and bay leaves, then the beer. Bring to a simmer. Add the beef back in, along with the bacon and enough of the stock to go three-quarters of the way up of the roast (about 1 cup, keeping in mind that the cooking liquid will reduce while it’s in the oven).
Baste the beef with the liquid, top with a lid and put it in the oven. Cook until tender, basting every hour, 3 to 4 hours.
Remove the roast from the oven and skim any excess fat. Break the roast apart in the pan so that there are large chunks in the liquid. Gently remove the chunks of roast to a platter. Spoon the vegetables on top and garnish with the torn mint and lemon zest. Add a couple of spoonfuls of the braising liquid on top to spread the lemon and mint flavors throughout the dish. Serve.

Has anyone done the 3-day riff on this that Symon did with the braised pork shank recipe? I'm doing a Sunday luncheon party for my hubby's belated holiday birthday and our butcher is on a holiday break and the good grocer didn't have any regular pork shanks either (only smoked). If you haven't watched the video for the shanks, after he braises, he strains out the liquid, puts the shanks in a stock pot, puts the braising liquid of the pork, and refrigerates over night. Then he skims the fat off the liquid that rose to the top, and then heats in the stock pot on the stove stop to bring up to serving temp. Since the roast (I got pork) is supposed to be fall apart soft, I'm thinking a riff on this does work. Not sure if anyone will see my post.

The nerve to call it pot roast and no part of it, at least if they had potting in that cooked it, you could have on a high smell it. What is this country coming to😂🎉

O why does bacon have to be in everything why can't it just be a traditional pot roast

Help! What went wrong? I salted my chuck roast liberally on all sides with kosher salt and placed on rack in refrigerator. Did not have time for overnight but about 4 hours. I did not have cider and beer so used store bought beef stock and black box cabernet sauvignon. Braised for almost 4 hours. It was so salty, I had to rinse the meat to be edible and throw away the juice and veggies.

What if your doctor has advised you to use less salt how would you modify this recipe to accommodate that?

Hi. From the UK here. Does your bacon generally have added water in it. Or is it dry cured?
@ryancongdon4394
January 7, 2024 at 9:44 am
Why did Michael say the bacon is “cooked” because it is cured and smoked. You can not eat bacon raw from the grocery store, even if it is cured and smoked.

OMG Michael I have a funny for you:
So this newly wed couple are preparing Friday night dinner and the wife takes the pot roast and cuts off both ends before putting it into the pot…the husband says why did you do that? The wife says I don’t know that’s the way my mother always did it…. The husband says let’s call your mom and find out. So the wife calls her mother and asks her why she did that and the mother says I don’t know that’s what your bubbie did…the husband says let’s call your bubbie and find out. So the wife calls her bubbie and asks her and her bubbie says, it wouldn’t fit in the pot so I had to cut off the ends!!! Lol
