Bone Broth

approx 2-3 lbs bones
Some use just beef bones (esp marrow bones), some insist on using the bones of different animals, at least 2 (beef, lamb, poultry)
place in large stock pot, fill with cold water plus:
2 T apple cider vinegar
Let sit for 20 minutes in cold water before heating.
any vegetables desired - celery, radishes, broccoli, etc. If you are making this soup "keto" best not to use root vegetable which are starchy and carby
Vegetables won't be edible after cooking so long, so I use this soup to get rid of stuff that's almost ready to trash anyway
fresh ginger slices
dill, fresh or dried
sea salt
spices to taste

bring to boil. simmer 8-48 hours.  (Again, this is a machloket. 8 hours is fine.)

1/4 tsp garlic powder - opt.
1 tsp dried onion flakes - opt.
1/4 tsp dried oregano - opt.
1/2 cup warm water
some oil - (maybe 1 Tb?) - olive or coconut

BBQ Meatloaf

For each 1 lb chopped meat (we usually use extra lean or shoulder meat, or mixed meat/chicken chopped meat):

1 egg (Rachel suggests 2 eggs/lb to help it stay together)
1/4 to 1/3 bottle of 24 oz BBQ sauce (6-8 oz); we usually use Kraft brand regular, hickory smoked, or honey mustard. You can experiment.
3/4 teaspoon onion powder, garlic powder, paprika
Pinch of pepper
1/3-1/2 large onion (vidalia or Spanish), chopped
1/2 head fresh garlic (about 6 cloves), chopped
1 cup oats

**optional: sprinkle minced garlic and/or onion on top before baking.

Instructions:
1. Mix eggs, spices, chopped onion & garlic, BBQ sauce together in a large bowl
2. pour in mix in meat and oats
3. squeeze mixture with your hands (mixing alone doesn't work) until thoroughly mixed together.
4. pour into square or loaf tin
4. bake in middle of oven at 350 - 375F for 45-60 minutes. Check after 45 mins.

Notes:

You can use a square tin at 350F
Loaf tin probably better 375F
Usually a family pack of chopped meat is about 3-3.5 lbs.

Freezes well. Great to make 2+ and freeze some for Shabbat. Reheat in oven thoroughly before Shabbat--takes some time to defrost and reheat.

6. you could also add mushrooms to this and not serve it to S or D

Dutch Meat Loaf

Modified from Spice and Spirit

1 1/2 pounds ground beef

Cook for 75 minutes.

Modified from Spice and Spirit

1 pound ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup spicey bread crumbs

Sauce
1 cup jellied cranberry sauce (I use a can of jellied cranberry sauce)
3/4 cup ketchup (I don't measure, just put a lot)
2 tsps lemon juice (I don't measure, just put a little)

First make the sauce:
In a saucepan, combine cranberry sauce, ketchup, and lemon juice
Cook over law flame around 20 minutes.   Stir.

Meatballs:
Combine ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs.  Form into small balls.

Add Meatballs into sauce.  Simmer for 1 hour.  (Stir every once in a while to make sure meatballs get cooked on all sides)

Sesame beef

1 lb meat strips
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 green onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic (or minced)
1 teaspoon sesame seed (or to taste)

Beef Roast with Melted Tomatoes and Onions

Time: About 2 hours

1 silver tip roast, 5 pounds, or rib roast, 7 pounds

Fine sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 onions, coarsely chopped

4 cloves garlic, cut into slivers

3 large or 4 medium ripe tomatoes

6 sprigs thyme, woody stems discarded.

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season roast with salt and pepper. In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat oil to very hot. Sear roast on all sides until crusty dark brown, at least 3 to 4 minutes a side. Do not move roast around while searing, as this will prevent crust from forming.

2. Add onions, garlic, tomatoes and thyme to pot. Stir and cook vegetables 3 to 4 minutes. Add water to come a third of the way up the roast. Place pot in oven, uncovered.

3. Braise about 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on size, until meat thermometer inserted into center registers about 155 degrees (medium rare). Do not overcook. Remove from oven, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest 10 minutes. Transfer to carving board or platter and serve with tomatoes, onions and pan juices.

Yield: 10 to 12 servings.

Really Good Pot Roast

Really Good Pot Roast
By Mom Hoffman and Modified by Sarah and Daniyel

Ingredients
4 to 5 lbs Meat, whole
2 Onions, sliced or diced
Garlic (many)
Oil for sautéing onion & garlic
1 or 2 Diced canned tomatoes, with juice
Carrots
Onion powder, garlic powder, onion soup mix (1/2 package; Streits canisters have no MSG)
6 or 7 teaspoons honey (or brown sugar)
diced tomato can full of water

Directions
1. Sautee onion garlic (can skip this)
2. Add tomatoes, juice, and water
3. Add seasonings, mix
4. Pour some of liquid on bottom of pot, then meat, then cover meat with remaining tomatoes and liquid
5. Bring to a boil, lower to medium flame
6. Cook 1 hour on medium per pound of meat, flipping meat every ½ hour and scooping veggies on top to keep it moist
7. When done, chill and skim off fat
8. Slice against grain before reheating

Notes:
1. We’ve made this faster by thinly slicing the meat against the grain when raw, then cooking at 350 for about 1 hour total (or until meat is tender)
2. Any smaller amount of meat works too

tzimis

mommy's non-recipe:
"I would start by sauteeing onions, then add meat, sw potato, prunes, a little water, and maybe honey and cook on a very low flame for about an hour, then see what I have."

-place a line each of pepper and onion in one direction
-fold the side opposite the clear of mustard/ketchup end inside, and then the clear side over the top of that

Shabbat Day K'li Sh'lishi Gravy

-before Shabbat, pour off the gravy from your chicken or meat into a fleishig container

-On Shabbat day, pour a few oz water from the urn/kettle on the blech (k'li rishon) into a in a cup (k'li sheni), then pour from the cup into a bowl (k'li sh'lishi)

-Take gelled gravy from fridge, mix into k'li sh'lishi for Mutar L'Kol Day'ot Gravy. This is mutar because "K'li Sh'lishi Ayno M'Vashel"--liquid transfered to a third vessel does not cook anything.

-if you make and serve this, make sure to explain the halachic permissibility so your guests don't think you're not Shomer Shabbat, posul l'edut etc. :)
