This is the recipe you need for those guest that don't like “sweet” meat. Often times i get requests for those types of meat recipes and I totally understand! Coming from a moroccan household, adding sweetness to meat was unheard of. And although most of the time I like to balance all flavors, in this particular recipe, I didn't feel the need to add any sweetness.
I made beautiful slices with this roast and of course forgot to snap a picture before shabbat!
Beef shoulder roast, about 1kg
4 tbsp oil
2 large onions, sliced
3 tbsp tomato paste
5 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup water
1 tsp oregano
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper
A big handful of cilantro or parsley, chopped
DIRECTIONS:
Pat dry your roast using paper towels.
Start by heating a large dutch oven at high heat. Add oil. Sear beef roast on all sides. Remove and let it rest on a plate.
Add sliced onions to leftover oil. Saute until brown and soft. Add tomato paste and garlic and saute until fragrant. Add wine and let the alcohol evaporate then bring down the heat to medium low.
Return meat to the pot. Add water, spices, lemon and cilantro. Baste a few times.
Cover and cook on low for about 7 hours, or until fork tender. Baste throughout cooking.
