14258 Spice-Rubbed Pot Roast 3 hrs 40 mins 40 mins 6 to 8 servings Mon Jan 12 15:12:00 -0800 2009 Thu Aug 27 17:52:30 -0700 2009 Easy American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/14258 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 00:52:30 GMT A traditional braise gets a spicy kick A rub of cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic gives traditional roast a spicy kick. Pot roast may conjure thoughts of Sunday supper at the grandparents’ house, but this roast is anything but geriatric. With its nontraditional mix of Cajun spices, it pairs well with our grits soufflé, for a homey twist on a classic meal.

  • Heat the oven to 300°F and arrange a rack in the lower third.
  • In a small bowl, combine salt, paprika, pepper, and cayenne. Evenly rub spice mix on all sides of the roast; set aside.
  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven or a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a tightfitting lid over medium heat until smoking, about 5 minutes. Add meat and brown on all sides, about 20 minutes total; remove to a plate.
  • Add onion, celery, and garlic to the pot, season with salt, and cook until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat vegetables. Pour beef broth into the pot and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Add thyme, meat, and any accumulated juices to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook in the oven until fork tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
