Braised Beef and Sweet Potato Hash Bowl
Description
The Braised Beef and Sweet Potato Hash Bowl highlights a slow-cooked beef roast, seasoned with garlic salt and black pepper, which becomes tender enough to shred after cooking several hours in a slow cooker, optionally with some beef broth to enhance flavor. Meanwhile, diced sweet potatoes and onions are roasted with olive oil and salt in a hot oven until soft but still holding their shape.
The roasted sweet potatoes and onions provide a slightly sweet, caramelized base for the bowl, contrasting well with the rich, tender braised beef atop. The addition of crumbled feta cheese adds a salty tang, and the horseradish aioli introduces a creamy, slightly spicy note that complements the meat. Garnishing with fresh parsley gives a fresh herbal aroma and color.
This dish works well as a stand-alone meal, filling and balanced with protein and vegetables. It is a convenient recipe for using a beef roast in the slow cooker and incorporating sweet potatoes for a satisfying texture.
The recipe suggests that beef broth is optional since the beef releases its own juices, but adding broth can deepen the flavor. The sweet potatoes should be turned during roasting for even cooking. Assemble bowls by layering with sweet potato hash first, then beef, cheese, and sauce.
Ingredients
- (1) .5 to 3 lb. (approximately) beef roast (such as a chuck roast)
- 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth (optional)
- 4-6 sweet potato peeled and diced into small pieces
- 1 large onion (diced)
- 2-3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup feta cheese
- 2 ounces horseradish aioli or horseradish sauce
- parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Place beef roast into slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add beef broth, if using. Set on LOW setting and cook for 8 hours. You may set it to the high setting and cook for approximately 5-6 hours. Low is preferred.
- Place peeled sweet potatoes and diced onions on baking sheet. Set oven to 425 degrees. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil all over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with salt. Toss with a spatula to evenly coat all of the sweet potatoes. Add more oil, if needed.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until tender. Flip over with spatula, halfway through baking time.
- Once the beef is fully cooked and tender, shred with two forks. Check for seasoning.
- To assemble the bowls, place sweet potato hash on bottom of the bowl. Top with shredded braised beef. Sprinkle with feta cheese crumbles. Drizzle horseradish aioli or sauce over the beef. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
- Beef broth enhances flavor but is not required since the roast releases juices during cooking.
- Turn sweet potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure even browning and tenderness.
