Orange braised beef egg yolk-thickened sauce limey roast carrots RECIPE, SERVES 4-6 1 3 lb (1. 36kg) beef chuck roast (or any other good braising cut, like boneless short rib or brisket) 1 onion 5-6 cloves of garlic 1-2 dried New Mexico chilis (very optional) 2 oranges 1 lime 1-2 egg yolks 2 lb (908g) carrots 1 12 oz (240g) bag egg noodles tomato paste oil butter sugar salt pepper fresh herbs (I put thyme in the sauce and had cilantro on the side) Trim any very large chunks of fat out of the beef as you cut it into big pieces I got 16 pieces out of my roast. (Remember they'll shrink a lot. Heat some oil in pan (ideally one for which you have a lid) and brown the beef in two batches. While you're doing that, peel the onion and slice it into thin wedges. When all the beef is out, put the onion in and fry it for a few minutes until it starts to turn brown. While you're doing that, crush and peel the garlic and throw it in with the onions, whole. Stir in a squeeze of tomato paste. When the fond on the bottom of the pan is about to burn, deglaze with two cups (475mL) of water. Return the beef to the pan. Zest in both of the oranges and squeeze in their juice. Throw in the chilis, if using. Grind in some pepper and stir in two pinches of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. It'll take 4-5 hours to braise until the meat is soft. Check on it once or twice to stir things around, make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom, and make sure all the liquid isn't evaporating out. If it needs more water, give it some. When the beef is about as soft as you want it, uncover and let the sauce reduce a bit while you prep the sides. Heat the oven to 400 F/200 C. Peel the carrots and cut them into 1cm slices. (You could simply simmer them with the beef for the last hour of braising if you don't want to roast them) Throw them on a roasting tray, toss with oil salt and pepper, and roast for about 20 minutes until golden and tender. Stirring halfway through helps. Zest the lime, and toss the zest through the carrots right before you eat. (Save the lime itself for the beef) Get the egg noodles boiling in salted water. Drain when done, and toss with a little butter to keep them from sticking to each other. When you're ready to finish the beef, turn the heat off. Pull the chilis out and discard. Pull out all the beef chunks, being careful not to break them apart. Taste the braising liquid, and give it more of whatever you think it needs salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar, a little lime juice. With the heat off and the sauce definitely not bubbling, stir in one or two egg yolks, depending on how thick you want the sauce. Turn the heat back on and bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly. (If you really boil it, the egg will go grainy) You should notice the sauce thicken a little when it simmer and the eggs cook, but it'll thicken more as it cools to eating temperature. Put the beef back into the sauce, and carefully coat the pieces without breaking them apart. You could also stir in some fresh herbs at this point, and maybe a little water if the sauce is too thick. Put all the food on a plate and eat it. When you reheat any leftovers, do it gently so you don't overcook the egg in the sauce.

Be careful of how you use those dried chilis, they can vary quite a lot in quality (even within the same package) and often have bitter seeds or bitterness in the outer skin that will leech into the final product if you throw them in whole, but sometimes they're not bitter -- if I were doing this I would put the chili in a shallow pot of hot water and taste the water separately (very easy to clean, just rinse when done. Those chilis are typically used in things like an adobo rojo (red adobo) which is where the chili is deseeded/destemmed, rehydrated in a pot of hot (not boiling) water, and then thrown into a blender with tomatoes, raw onions and garlic, and then roasted or fried (as a coating for corn tortillas) for a sauce with a uniquely savory, sometimes spicy/fruity flavor that perfectly complements the savoriness of other Mexican dishes. This is what you would use in something like enchiladas rojas or pozole rojo.

Finally, the realities of browning beef for stew! It does stick, you don't need that uniform caramel color on both sides, and not burning the fond or drying out the beef is WAY more important than being splattered with oil for an hour because the chef said that how it; s done. right before the edit.

I just used bottled orange juice, V8 Juice or apple juice in a braise. without the water. The flavor will concentrate even without the zest. A splash of RealLemon or RealLime juice at the end to broaden the flavor profile. Otherwise it's a citrussy pot-roast prep.

You're using the zest thing wrong.
You're supposed to have the metal thing on top of the orange. That way you can see where you've already hit the white part. Also, the weird shape on the back part of the tool is exactly for that purpose - to hold the zest.

I'm a convenient type of girls. I made beef ragout and braised fish during week days, whenever i have the craving, and I can't live without the crock pot. My suggestion is trying out the crock pot method to cut down the cooking time.

Adam. you peel your carrots! I stopped doing that years a go. isn't the skin where the highest concentration of nutrients are? just give them a scrub with a brillo pad at most, saves time, saves nutrients, minimizes food waste!

Any thoughts on Adam always unsticking and turing meat using metal utensils? Isn't this bad for stainless steel cookware? Or no? I'm new to stainless steel pans. So I'm not sure.

About cooking 5 hours: why don't you use pressure cooker in US? In Brazil every kitchen has one (maybe because we eat beans daily and it helps a lot.

That last tip at the end about the Orange wedge was amazing. Thank you so much. My kids wouldn't eat my food because it wasn't aesthetically pleasing

Disgusting. Just piling in citrus fruits into a dish that doesn't need it, accompanied with banal advertising and that classic streak of narcissism.
