Slow-Roasted Beef

by Pam on October 22, 2013

There are many wonderful perks to being a food blogger and one of them definitely is being sent kitchen gadgets. I was recently sent a new meat thermometer called Chef Alarm from Thermowork^[1]s that came at the perfect time because mine had recently quit working. This new thermometer does everything! It has Splash-proof design for commercial kitchens, uses Pro-Series™ temperature probes, includes Pro-Series High Temp Cooking Probe with cable to 700°F max temp, optional Pro-Series Needle Probe^[2] for thin cuts and Sous Vide, adjustable high and low alarms, always-on min & max temperatures, adjustable volume, includes count-down and count-up timer, really big digits and a backlight, and is available in 9 colors. I loved that it comes with a padded zip wallet that neatly holds everything.

I decided to use my new thermometer when making a roast beef for our Sunday dinner. I found a recipe, in my cooking bible, The New Best Recipe ~ Revised Edition, that was calling my name. I lightly seasoned the sirloin roast, seared it on all sides then cooked it in a 250 degree oven for close to an hour then I cranked up the heat to 500 degrees to finish cooking for a few minutes. I let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. It turned out to be perfectly medium rare and we all devoured it! I am so excited to have such an amazing meat thermometer that is so accurate! Thanks Thermoworks^[3]! I made the leftover beef into French Dip Sandwiches^[4] and they were amazing too. Looking forward to making this recipe again and again.

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.

Place the roast onto a plate then slice a clove of garlic into spears. Using a sharp knife, pierce meat on both sides about 1/2-inch deep and insert slivers of garlic in each hole, pushing all the way in. Sprinkle both sides of the roast evenly with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, and thyme. I didn’t measure the seasonings, just sprinkled on to taste.

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Once the Dutch oven is HOT add the roast and sear on all sides.

Place the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast. Place the Dutch oven into the preheated oven and cook until the thermometer reads 115 degrees, about 45-60 minutes. Crank the heat up to 500 degrees and continue cooking until the roast reaches 125-130 degrees, for medium rare. Remove from the oven and let the roast rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy.

Three Bean Turkey Chili

by Pam on March 18, 2013

We had friends over for dinner on Saturday night and it was a fairly cold & rainy day so I decided to make a big batch of chili. I used ground turkey and turkey Italian sausage for a change and absolutely loved it. My house smelled amazing throughout the day while this chili simmered on the stove. I served this chili with Sweet Honey Corn Bread^[1] and my House Salad^[2] for a delicious and filling dinner. The adults all really enjoyed the chili and the kids seemed to think it was “okay”. I had leftovers for lunch today and the flavor was amazing!

Re-hydrate the dried pasilla peppers in very hot water for 20 minutes, or until softened; drain. Remove the stems and seeds of the peppers then dice them up.

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and re-hydrated diced peppers to the Dutch oven. Cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

Add the ground turkey and the turkey Italian sausage, removed from casings, to the Dutch oven. Mash the mixture well with a potato masher until it’s in a very small crumble. Add the Chili powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix the ingredients well and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until the meat has browned.

Add the chicken stock, tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, pinto beans, black beans, and kidney beans. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat to simmer and place a lid on the Dutch oven. Simmer for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally.

Before serving, taste and re-season if needed. Ladle chili into bowls and top with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

White Bean, Kale, Potato, and Ham Soup

by Pam on May 27, 2013

The weather has been so extreme lately. Two weeks ago it was in the mid 80′s and sunny while last week it was in the 50′s and rainy. While it was so dreary outside, I decided to make a big pot of soup. I found a bag of white beans in the pantry, some veggies in the refrigerator, and a ham hock in the freezer – perfect ingredients for a hearty and comforting batch of soup. It smelled amazing while cooking and tasted even better. I served the soup with freshly baked bread and my House Salad^[1] for a delicious meal that we all enjoyed.

Quick soak the white beans by first rinsing the beans in cold water then put them in a large pot and cover with about 4 inches of fresh cold water. Place on the stove over high heat. Bring to a boil, cover, and remove from heat. Let them sit for 1 hour. Drain. The beans will be “soaked” and ready to cook.

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock to the Dutch oven followed by the quick soaked white beans and ham hock. Cover with a lid and cook for 2 1/2 hours. Add the diced potato to the pot and cook for 30 minutes. Add the kale and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; cook for 15 minutes. Remove the fat and bone from the ham hock and shred the pork into small pieces.

Taste and re-season if needed. Ladle into bowls and serve with some crusty freshly baked bread. Enjoy.
