    My mother used to make pot roasts, but not use the liquid as gravy. Instead she'd use that for stews made out of the left overs from the pot roast. One time she put the potatoes in too early and something came up that prevented her from taking the roast off on time. So the potatoes completely dissolved while the roast was cooking (they had been peeled). The stock from that roast made some of the best beef stew I've ever had. From there on out she would always added mashed potatoes to her beef stews and, if cooked enough, they were never grainy.

      If I'm making anything that I need to end up smooth and don't want to add cream a peeled potato is always the answer absolutely. What my mum did with pot roast or brisket was spread carrots onions celery around which got totally caramelized. Nevertheless, I really like Adam's take on it!

      My family always does rich chicken noodle soup with mashed potatoes. Thick homemade dumplings/noodles, lots of veg, and a hearty broth. When ladling into the serving bowl, a scoop of mashed potatoes goes into the bottom. It starts out pretty boring, just adding a little bit of mashed potatoes on each spoonful, but by the end it totally dissolves throughout the soup and makes the last little bit of soup super creamy.

    Secret traditional Irish trick to making brown gravy taste good:
    Take sun-dried tomatoes (like a good handful or two); blitz them up in spice grinder to powdery paste (the drier and finer, the better); add the sundried tomato dust to gravy. Instant flavour without anyone being none the wiser.

    Winter is approaching. You should do a Dutch/Belgian stew. Which means you use beer (a flavourful dubbel or tripel will do well) and ontbijtkoek which will act as a roux. If you can't get ontbijtkoek, gingerbread is probably an acceptable substitute. Preferably one that's a bit soft, like a pound cake. Be careful not to use too much or it will overpower your dish. And then whatever else you put in a stew. If you mostly stew meat strips and not much else, it's basically hachee and you could serve it as a side dish to a nice plate of stamppot. Which is basically potatoes and vegetables mashed together. There are some vegetables that are particularly traditional. Or you could make it a rich stew with lots of ingredients.

    my family's trick for clean pot roast slices: cook the meat for a couple hours, take it out when it's partially cooked and not fully tender yet, slice it, then return the sliced roast back to the pot to finish braising. you get clean slices that are also just as tender as you want them to be without the risk of them shredding or tearing unevenly if you tried to slice them when the roast is already fully cooked. we tried this trick once years ago for passover brisket and never went back.

    As an Irish guy this looks like a very good roast dinner. Normally I'd just chuck the joint into a slow cooker with carrots, onion, garlic, celery as well as herbs and beef stock and leave it over night. I'll definitely take on board brazing the beef and try out the adding the gelatin to the gravy. Mainly I'd do the potatoes different, they'd be boiled to the point of near slightly falling apart and the roasted they'll form a layer of semi-mashed potato that'll brown on the bottom and top around the actual roast potatoes.
    I'd love to see you try cooking a joint of Irish ham. I'm sorry I don't know what cut it is (leg or bacon maybe) but I know its salt brined. The way you cook it is by boiling it in a pot of water pouring out the water then filling it and boiling it again. You do this about 3-4 times each time you do for about 1-1.5 hours the more you do it the more tender the ham gets and the less salty. Then you'd score the ham brush it down with a generously with a mix of honey, clove and mustard powder and roast it in a glass dish in with water or stock at the bottom, brushing it down every now and then with more honey, clove and mustard mix. Once the top has a good colour to it flip it and do the same again with the bottom. I and my mother would do this well before dinner so we'd slice the ham and reheat it in the same stock we roasted it in (usually chicken stock). And serve it with parsley sauce (or gravy if you want goes better with the potatoes I think), roast potatoes and your choice of veg. I'd recommend you do a mix of roast veg, I like carrots, parsnips, bell peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, onion and garlic but you can do whatever you want.

    I'd recommend Sautéed mirepoix (carrots, celery, onions), coated in flour once close to done, then deglazed with amontillado sherry or marsala wine before adding all the stock. The maillard reactions of the toasty flour really add nuttiness to the gravy, and the mirepoix sautéed in fat really are different than if you just chucked them into the boil without frying in oil. Also, in my house we don't add green onions - we add huge amounts of fresh chopped Italian parsley. And we serve the gravy with crusty toasty BREAD 🥖 and RHÔNE WINE 🍷.
    Chinese dark soy sauce is another secret weapon, as is fish sauce or dried anchovy paste for umami. Or just add a marrow bone to the pot.

Also I'd probably want yorkshire pudding to soak up the gravy and I'd probably do roasted or baked-then-mashed potatoes instead of putting them in the pot with the skin on, but I know this is supposed to be a one pot meal.

    Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf and mustard powder.

      Adding redcurrant jelly to gravy to perk it up is a pretty common thing in the UK, especially if the meat in the roast is lamb, it really perks the gravy up, adds richness and tartness to the whole affair.

    This is the dish made by my Oklahoma-born Irish-American mother. She always cooked it in a roaster in the oven, though, and never used a shallot in her life. Never used stock, either, and certainly not green onions -- peeled and halved yellow onions, instead, which come out delightfully sweet and creamy.
    I, on the other hand, use a bottle of good ale and lots of fresh thyme. Whether her recipe or mine, A-1 (her) or HP (me) sauce is required for tasty gravy and for the meat.

(The dog ate the rest). The Irish aren't known for elaborate meals but simplicity has its place most definitely. I LOVE Irish soda bread, the only kind of bread I know how to make FYI. And lamb. Irish stew is all about lamb or even .. mutton which you discussed a while ago. Take the same ingredients ok beef potatoes all things being equal, forget about the gravy add garlic and huge amounts of paprika you've got goulash which I grew up on sort of with a lot of other stuff and salad.

      @hypothalapotamus5293 Рік тому +1

      For an Americanized version, I think the central question is whether it matters what type of beer you use. It seems like it might so... What beers can we get in the US?
      -I can get Flemish and Belgian beer, but it's at a price point that I would not use for cooking. American knockoffs are similarly too expensive. (This is sort of like how I don't use gruyere all that much even if it is awesome.)
      -Stouts and black lagers are available and affordable enough to cook with, though lacking the complexity of some of the dark belgian stuff.
      -Low quality American sour Ales are affordable enough to cook with in some parts of the country, though lacking the complexity of a Flemish red or a Gueze.
      -Hard cider... Offers some similar aspects to a sour ale. Possibly more available.
      It is conceivable that one could emulate a Flemish red* (for cooking, not drinking purposes) by mixing an American stout with an affordable American sour or a dry hard cider, providing some rich maltiness and some fruitiness. Unfortunately, this requires being able to enjoy the remaining beer to make financial sense (This is probably more of a problem with the American sour ale).
      *Near as I can tell, the recommended beer type.

    I don't think you actually need a thickener. You put potatoes inside which already contains starch. And for subsidizing gelatine I suggest just using a cut with a little more fat and connective tissue. For instance beef shank fillet. It will dissolve and will turn into gelatine regardless. Or heck, just toss in a few bones, a piece of skin, anything that is rich in collagen and it will do the work. Reduction will do the heavy lifting in the end anyways. Caution, in case whoever is reading this and didn't know it already, but you won't need as much salt as you think you may want to add because of the heavy reduction.

    the best/only way i do "pot roast" is in a slow cooker. before you go to work in the morning, season up a roast however you want, put it in a croc pot set to high, when you start hearing noises, add in water to cover, and an onion thats been cut in half, when it comes to a rapid simmer, turn it to medium, and leave literally all day, when you get home from work, add in some carrots and potatoes to the liquid, and about an hour later, when the carrots and taters are done, dinner is ready, if you for some reason "need" "gravy" even though literally everything is already coated in it, just take some liquid out, and thicken it, via reduction.
    second, if you have to cut it, ITS NOT POT ROAST, "pot roast" is SO TENDER it LITERALLY falls apart as you try to serve it, and it falls apart into STRANDS, NOT CHUNKS.
