Instructions:

Begin by cooking the onions in 1 tablespoon of butter or shortening in a Dutch oven until they reach a tender-crisp texture; set them aside. 🧅🍳
-
Brown the boneless beef chuck roast in the remaining butter or shortening in the Dutch oven over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until it achieves a beautifully browned exterior on both sides. 🥩🔥
-
Take a culinary adventure by piercing the entire surface of the meat with a fork. 🍽️🍖
-
In a flavor-packed concoction, combine apple juice, catsup, salt, pepper, thyme, mustard, and basil. Pour this delightful blend over the meat. Top it off with the reserved cooked onions. Cover the Dutch oven and let the magic happen slowly for 2 1/2 hours or until the meat is almost tender. 🍏🍷🍯
-
Elevate the aesthetics by brushing the sweet potatoes with lemon juice for a vibrant color. Add these bright beauties to the meat. Continue cooking, covered, for an additional 30 to 40 minutes or until both the meat and potatoes reach tender perfection. 🍠🍋🌈
-
Once the masterpiece is ready, gracefully place the meat and potatoes on a warm platter. For that extra touch, sprinkle the potatoes with chopped parsley or garnish with apple rings and parsley. 🌿🍎
-
Let the flavors dance on your palate as you serve the gravy over sliced meat. Note: If you prefer a cast iron Dutch oven, transfer the goodness to a glass dish. 🍽️🎉
-
Time to make the gravy! Skim off any excess fat from the cooking liquid. Add water if needed to make 1 1/2 cups of liquid gold. Mix 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons of Unbleached Flour; gradually stir this into the cooking liquid. Heat it to boiling and cook, stirring for 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. This heavenly gravy may also be served in a large apple that has been scooped out, for that extra touch of creativity! 🍲🌟🍏
-
Pro tip: The apple juice mixture can be added to the browned meat and marinated in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours before serving. Don’t forget to turn the meat several times for an even flavor infusion. 🌡️❄️
Congratulations! You’ve just crafted a masterpiece – an Apple Juice Roast that’s bound to be the star of your dining table. 🌟🍽️ Enjoy this delightful creation with your loved ones, and let the flavors tell a story of culinary excellence! 🎉👨🍳🍷
