When making a roux with xanthan, do you “burn” it like wheat flour? Or do you use it unburnt?Today I will prepare a favorite of my household.
Keto friendly, Gluten free, very low carb
Bottom Round Roast.
Approximately 33 hours before you wish to eat Take a bottom round roast and season it liberally with kosher salt
Now place inside a vacuum sealed bag and immerse in water with an immersion (sous vide) cooker set to 131.
Let it cook for 30 hours.
Remove and drop into an ice bath for 30 minutes
Now you can leave in the fridge to reheat another day or get ready to cook it that night.
Turn your smoker on and set to 225ish
Remove roast from bag and pat dry, then add your favorite beef rub. If you are in a hurry just coat it in mustard, garlic, and pepper. Dont use more salt, you already salted it.
Place on smoker until inner temp reaches 130 (we are just warming up and giving a nice smoked flavor)
Alternatively you can sear it in a pan or use a torch right after cooking and adding spice to eat right away with no other trouble.
While it is smoking, or prior to removal from immersion bath if you are cooking right away prepare your sides.
My favorites with this dish are as follows:
Preheat oven to 385
Take some brocolli, brussel sprouts and carrots and season with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and paprika.
Line a pan with aluminum foil and add vegetables. Cook for 30 minutes with oven on then turn off oven and let vegetables sit in oven until you are done with rest of sides.
Cauliflower Mash:
Cut a head of cauliflower into florets discard most stems (makes it too watery)
Place florets into a microwave safe bowl and add a stick of butter and a few tbsp of heavy cream
Microwave for 6 minutes (microwaving dries it out more to avoid it being too soupy once again)
Remove and add to food processor with a dab of sour cream and a cup of parmesan or dubliner cheese, along with garlic, salt, pepper to taste.
Gravy:
Add a tbsp of butter to a skillet and sautee some onions and mushrooms.
After a few minutes add what you reserved from the roast and incorporate.
Add NO salt. The sauce is already salty
If you don't mind just a few carbs add in a can of cream of mushroom and stir in, then add pepper and garlic to taste.
If you want virtually no carbs make a roux with xanthum. Gum or almond flour to thicken and add along with a bit of heavy cream.
Slice the roast thin, add some cauliflower mash with some gravy on top and your roasted veggies to the plate and serve.
Edit: Its also great to make a roast this way and slice it for a poor man's prime rib hot sandwich.
