Brine for roast beef

[chef jimmyj]

Well I am in the keep it simple crowd.  I love mushrooms with beef so I would add some diced to the broth for me as well or sautee' them in butter and garlic and serve as a simple topping.

Mushrooms !...Thanks, Rick.  Forgot that one...My Mentor, 5' tall 60 yearold German Lady Chef, would put a few Dry Porcini in her Jus...They give up an Earthy Richness as they rehydrate...

Sauteed Mushrooms are awesome!...Since I like you guys, I'll share my SECRET Flavor kicker for 'Shrooms...Saute in Butter with Fresh Garlic, Thyme and Blk Pepper...But...Instead of Salt, Sprinkle, to taste, with one Envelope of...Washington's Rich Brown Seasoning and Broth Powder! It's a veg based flavor enhancer, There is a "Golden" version that is Killer in Mashed 'Taters!...JJ

Love shrooms.  I have Porcini powder too, adds flavor without the texture of a dried mushroom, when that's desirable.

My sauteed mushroom recipe is:

Saute in 1/2 butter and 1/2 olive oil with crushed garlic and...

...the secret ingredient, just a touch of crushed anchovy or anchovy paste.

(Yeah I know, some folks say yech, anchovies.  As a seasoning, nobody will realize what it is, trust me.)

Then deglaze with a little red wine, I use dry Marsala.

Brilliant...It's very cool how Anchovy melts and just leaves a Nutty Tasting Rich Flavor with a hint of Salt...Good Recipe!...JJ

I love reading all the different angles for puttin together a roast beef dinner.

Some times just the simplest change makes a big difference.

Tnx Chef , Bear and the rest with advise.

I is appreciated.

The dried mushoom do made it wonderful.  I like to crush to dried musshrooms or even put them through my spice grinder and add to my french onion soup.  The dried mushrooms add a delightful heartiness to the soup and roast.

Oh boy....the mushrooms with the gravy makes me want to cook a roast beef instead of turkey for Thanksgiving..If it was more than me and the wife for turkey day I would be tempted to do both !

JJ you got it down pat. Thanks.

I am not a big anchovy fan. Most people I know tell me they hate anchovies.

I keep a little tube of anchovy paste hidden in the back of my fridge where nobody can see it.

Judiciously adding it to the right dish gives just that right pop!  Then they don't know just what did it.  LOL

Good luck and good smoking.
