PORK AND BEEF ROAST COOKED TOGETHER RECIPES

Steps:

• Melt butter in the olive oil in a frying pan over medium to medium-high heat. Cut your roasts in half so you have four chunks of meat. Salt and pepper each chunk as you wish. When the frying pan is hot, brown the meat on all sides. Set aside.
• Put your prepared vegetables in your slow cooker.
• Lay the browned meat on top. You DO NOT need to add water, as the meat and the vegetables create their own wonderful juice. I used a 6-quart cooker and it was quite full. If you have a smaller one, adjust your ingredients so it all fits.
• Cook on high for 4-6 hours. If you are going to be gone much longer, you may want to use a lower setting - use what works for your slow cooker.
• When done to your liking, remove the meat and vegetables to a platter or bowl.
• Put the onion soup mix and brown gravy mix in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the juices from the slow cooker and warm on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, for at least one minute. Depending on how soon you plan to eat, you may want to cook the juices a bit longer in order to hydrate the onions from the onion soup mix. If you aren't eating right away, they will hydrate when you put them back in the slow cooker. Return your meat and veggies to the slow cooker and pour the gravy over it.
• You have a wonderful-smelling and wonderful-tasting meal ready for your enjoyment!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to full whack.
  2. Score the pork leg with a sharp knife in a zig-zag pattern.
  3. Bash the coriander seeds, peppercorns and 2 teaspoons of sea salt until fine in a pestle and mortar. Add the bay leaves and bash again, then muddle in a lug of oil to form a loose paste.
  4. Rub the paste all over the pork, making sure you get it into all the nooks and crannies.
  5. Peel and halve the onions, scatter into a large roasting tray and place the scored pork on top.
  6. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until you have a lovely crisp crackling, then turn the oven down to 170°C/325ºF/gas 3. Slow-cook the leg for 3.5 hours, or until the meat is easily pulled apart.
  7. When the time's up, pick and dress the sage and rosemary leaves with oil and scatter them over the pork. Pop it back into the oven and cook until the herbs are crispy.
  8. Remove the leg to board, cover with tin foil and allow to rest while you make the gravy.
  9. Place the roasting tray on the hob over a medium heat, add the flour and stir it into the juices so you get a sticky paste. Slowly add a little water until you have a lovely rich sauce.
  10. Pour the contents of the tray into a jug or bowl and blitz to a sauce with a stick blender. Return to the pan, pick, finely chop and add the parsley, along with the mustard and stir well. Season to perfection
  11. Serve the roast pork with the sauce.
