ROAST BEEF SHOULDER RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Mix all Garlic Herb Rub ingredients together and rub all over the shoulder roast. Refrigerate 4-6 hours.  2. When you are ready to cook, let the roast come to room temperature before browning. Scrape off herbs and garlic from the roast into a little dish and set aside. 3. Preheat oven to 250°F.   4. Heat 2-3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Place the roast in the pan and cook, undisturbed, 3-4 minutes. Rotate until all sides of the roast are nicely browned (you can do this in a 450°F degree oven, but the sear is much better on the stove top.) Transfer the roast to a roasting pan and put in the oven. 5. Allow 20 minutes per pound, or cook until roast is medium-rare. 6. Allow roast to rest under a loose tent of aluminum foil at least 10 minutes before carving. 7. Remove roast from the Dutch oven and transfer to stove top. Add more olive oil if necessary. Add herb garlic mixture and cook over low heat until garlic is fully caramelized and crispy. It’s ok if some of it starts to stick to the pan, but be sure to remove the garlic and herbs before they burn. 8. Deglaze the pan with red wine, scraping up the bits on the bottom as the wine simmers. 9. Mix cornstarch with warm water until dissolved. Add to wine, along with broth/water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Return garlic and herb bits to the pan and simmer to reduce to desired thickness. 10. Slice roast and serve with pan sauce.  Want recipes like this delivered straight to your inbox? Sign up now for Jamie Geller's Weekly Newsletter.   

Steps:

• Set up your sous vide water bath with the temperature set to 136℉
• In a small bowl, mix the minced rosemary and garlic with the smoked paprika, mustard and onion powders, salt, and pepper.
• Rub the beef down with Worcestershire sauce, then spread the spice rub over the whole roast.
• Vacuum seal the roast in a plastic bag and cook it at 136℉ for 24 hours. When the roast is done cooking, drain the liquid into a small bowl and set the roast aside for finishing.
• To get a nice crust on the outside of the beef roast, place it on a broiler pan and finish it in a 350ºF oven for 15 minutes, turning it halfway through. Once the roast comes out of the oven, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
• The juices from the roast can be served as an au jus. To make the au jus take the liquid from the bag the roast was cooked in and bring it to a boil in a small saucepan for three to five minutes.
• The au jus is especially good when you're using the roast beef to make French Dip sandwiches.
