Beef with Onion Gravy Orzo serves tender slow-roasted beef and onions in gravy made from it’s own juices. Layer it over orzo pasta for a delicious dinner.
Anything with gravy on it will get my guy’s attention. Thick, peppery beef gravy made with red wine and onions over pasta gets my attention.
For this week’s Sunday Supper we are sharing dishes made using orzo. Orzo pasta works as a great base instead of rice. This pasta tastes great in soups too.
Today I decided creamy orzo would be a great base for my Beef with Onion Gravy Orzo dish.
You could classify this as a make ahead meal. I started with a Certified Angus Beef® brand bottom round roast cooked low and slow in my crock pot. I added onions, wine, broth, thyme, hickory salt and cracked pepper. This #bestangusbeef cooked for 5 hours into a tender, juicy perfection!
I rest the roast, thin slice it and set aside.
To make the gravy, I skim the fat from the broth. A roo made with butter and flour thickens the broth and turns it into rich gravy. Orzo adds the perfect base to serve this meal.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked orzo
- 3 pounds bottom round roast, I use Certified Angus Beef® brand
- 2 cups pearl or sliced onions
- 8 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 4 springs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon hickory or smoked salt
- cracked pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 up flour
- reserved beef stock, fat skimmed off (use about 4 cups)
Instructions
- Rub roast with smoked salt and pepper. Place roast, onions, broth, wine and thyme in slow cooker. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours until fork tender. Remove thyme. Rest roast for 15 minutes, then slice and set aside.
- Brown flour for a minute on med-high in a 2-quart sauce pan. Add butter and cook into a thick roo. Slowly whisk in skimmed stock. Cook until gravy reaches desired consistency.
- Add beef and onions. Serve over orzo.
Food for Thought…How do you use orzo pasta? Do you substitute it for rice or serve with rice. I’d love to hear your ideas in a comment below!
