Food Food Food ~ Brisket

This is probably the best pot roast I have ever made. Hubby is not a big meat eater and he had TWO plates . . . LOL. Served with cabbage salad and beet relish. The only thing I did different is that I put a lid on and cooked it in the oven.

Quantity : 6 servings
Preparation : 15 min Cooking : 2 h 30 min
410 calories/serving

Ingredients
4 carrots, cut into large pieces 400 g
4 potatoes, whole or halved 800 g
3 turnips, cut into large pieces 500 g
3 stalks celery, cut into large pieces 200 g
2 onions, finely chopped 400 g
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 
1.2 kg blade pot roast
3 1/2 tbsp butter, unsalted 45 g
1 1/2 tbsp canola oil 23 mL
1/2 cup beef broth 125 mL
1/2 cup water 125 mL
3 tbsp tomato paste 45 mL
ground pepper to taste [optional]
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.1 g

Before you start
A pressure cooker will reduce the cooking time from 2½ h to 40 min.

Method
Prepare the vegetables: peel the carrots, potatoes and turnips, then cut the carrots, turnips, and celery stalks into large pieces (about 2-3 cm thick). Leave the potatoes whole or cut them in half if big. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Leave the meat whole.
Heat the butter and oil in a pressure cooker or in a thick-base roasting pan over medium heat. Brown the meat thoroughly on each side until golden, 7-8 min total. Take the meat out and set aside.
Add the onion and garlic to the pressure cooker or pan and sauté 3-4 min until translucent. Add the other vegetables and cook 2-3 min, then pour in the broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon, then pour in about 1 cm water. Add the tomato paste and put the meat back into the pan. Add salt and pepper.
If you are using a pressure cooker, cover and close, and bring to high pressure (*Follow the manufacturer's directions to determine when high pressure has been reached). Cook for 40 min. If you are not using a pressure cooker, cover the pan, lower the heat, and simmer for about 2 h 30 min.
Serve the meat and vegetables with the cooking juices.

Observations
This stew can be made a few days ahead and reheated over moderate heat.
