Cooking by the Book 3: Reghed venison pot roast

Making:

Reghed Venison pot roast 


4 servings prepared 

Here's what I have:

Beef chuck roast trimmed 
Kosher salt, black pepper 
Bacon butter 
Large yellow onion chopped 
4 bay leaves 
Sweet paprika 
All-purpose flour 
Tomato paste 
Dry white wine (not used)
Chicken broth 
Dried apricot 
Whole head garlic 
Thyme 
Carrots
Yukon Gold potato
Chopped fresh parsley

Preparation:

The oven is preheated to 300 degrees.

The roast was removed from its packaging and dry with paper towels first then i sliced a pocket in the meat. This pocket was filled with garlic and parsely. The meat was tied off and seasoned generously with salt and pepper.

In a Dutch oven the beef was browned on all sides before removing to a separate plate. In the pot where the meat was browned a tablespoon of oil was added along with the onion and bay leaves this was allowed to cook stirring and scraping the pan occasionally until the onions were soft. That paprika was then added along with the flour stirring continuously. The tomato paste was then added and allowed to cook until fragrant.

Next into the pot or the broth, chopped apricots, garlic Thyme and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. The liquids were mixed, gently scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any bits.  The meat was returned to the pot and then added to the oven. It was allowed to cook for one hour in 15 minutes.

Once the timer is up the carrots and potatoes were added to the pan along with the apricots submerging them in the liquid. The pot was covered again and returned to the oven. The pot was allowed to continue to cook for 2 hours and 45 minutes.

The vegetables were removed from the Dutch oven and added to a serving platter. As much oil as possible was removed from the gravy and chopped Parsley was added in.

The ties were removed from the roast before adding to the serving platter. A bit of reserved Parsley was added as garnish.

The platter!

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter.  I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature.  The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot.  The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter.  Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris

While the water was coming to a boil I coated the pork chops in the spice and set them aside.   The potatoes were steamed for 10 minutes at med-high heat first then the heat was turned to warm. I put the asparagus into the steamer basket with them and put the lid back on the pot. I used my cast iron pan, heating it up (high temp) before placing half of the butter into it. Pork chops were cooked in the pan, turned down to medium heat for a total of 8 minutes, 4 minutes for each side. Once they were done I took them out of the pan ...
