1. TRADITIONAL POT ROAST
- Preheat your oven to 160°C.
- Season the grass-fed silverside roast with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. You can use a blend of rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder for added flavor.
- Heat some oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned roast on all sides until it develops a golden-brown crust.
- Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside.
- In the same pot, sauté onions, garlic, carrots, and other vegetables of your choice.
- Return the silverside roast to the pot and add enough beef broth or stock to partially cover the roast. The liquid should reach about halfway up the roast.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Cook the roast for about 2.5 to 3 hours or until the meat becomes tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Serve the silverside roast with the vegetables and the flavorful cooking liquid.
2. SOUS VIDE COOKING
- Season the grass-fed silverside roast with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices, as mentioned earlier.
- Place the seasoned roast in a vacuum-sealed bag or a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, removing as much air as possible.
- Preheat a sous vide water bath to your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, set the temperature to around 57°C.
- Submerge the bag with the roast into the water bath and cook it for 12 to 24 hours. The extended cooking time at a lower temperature helps achieve a tender and evenly cooked roast.
- Once the sous vide cooking is complete, remove the roast from the bag and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Sear the roast on a hot pan or grill for a few minutes to add some color and flavor to the surface.
- Slice the silverside roast and serve it with your favorite sides and sauces.
Both of these cooking methods can result in a tender and delicious grass-fed silverside roast. Choose the method that suits your preferences and equipment availability, and enjoy a flavorful and nutritious meal!
