ingredients for 6-8 peoples
4 pound beef shoulder.
1 large onions or 2 small ones
3 tbsp tomatoes paste
4 tbsp flour
11/2 cup red wine 1 cup = 235ml
Salt & pepper
2-3 cup of broth or water (it need to cover ¾ of the meat )
A small bag of yellow potato
8 0z white sliced mushroom or whole in can 220g 8oz fresh green bean 220g
Carrot are welcome as well!!
Prepare a large frying pan with cooking oil.
Once it’s hot, start by searing the meat. About 4 minutes on each side.
It needs to be red and golden all around. Place on your crockpot or cooking pot.
Clean, rinse and slice the onions super finely and prepare your sauce in the same frying pan you used for the meat. Add a little more oil if necessary.Start with the onions, cook them for about 5-7 minutes on a medium heat stirring occasionally. We want them to be soft and slightly golden. High up the heat and pour the wine, let it evaporate, add the tomato paste, mix well, then add the flour, stir again and quickly add the broth. Now whisk that the flour does not make a lot of lump.
Season with the right amount of salt and pepper and bring it to a slight boil. Pour it on the side of the meat and let the onions fall on top of it. Rinse the vegetables. Peel & cut the carrot in large chunks, leave the potatoes as is, cut the little tips of the green beans, and pour all veggies around the meat.
If using a crockpot just cover and cook on mode High for 5 to 6 hour. Or on mode Slow for 6-8 hour.
If using the cooking pot on the gas, just bring the broth to a boil cover and cook for about 3-4 hours turning the meat and checking on the level of the broth. Adding a little more liquid if necessary. If you cook it in the oven, bring the broth to a nice boil cover and place it in the oven at 325 F for about 3-4 hours. Turning the meat half way and checking on the level of the broth
Either way, gas or oven, add the vegetables at halftime. Also when I am cooking roast on the gas or oven, I like to use a wet parchment paper that I add on top of the meat before covering it with its lid or aluminum paper. Serve it with mash potatoes or rice, a greens salad or some slaws. It’s delicious
