I grow lemongrass in my garden and I thought of flavoring our weekend dinner with it. Lemongrass is not just for making tea but also we can flavor so many meals with it.
MEK Roast and Rice dinner
For the roast:
5-6 lbs. of roast (chuck or knuckle or shank)
½ tsp black pepper powder
1 tsp paprika powder
1 tbsp of steak seasoning (optional)
½ tsp sumac powder
½ to 1 tsp salt
Olive oil
Fresh lemongrass
A handful of whole peeled garlic cloves
For the rice:
2 cups sella rice (rinse two times and then soak in hot water for an hour)
1 onion- Sliced
2 tomatoes diced
6 tbsp oil
1 inch cinnamon stick
3 green cardamoms
1 tsp whole cumin seeds
2 tsp or less garam masala (as per taste)
2 cups beef or chicken stock
2 cups hot water
1 tbs salt- adjust to your taste
For the potatoes:
3 lbs. mini potatoes
Salt, black pepper, paprika powder (to taste)
1 ½ tbsp olive oil
Fresh thyme
Cut the floppy fat from the roast meat. But leave the fat cap on. Sprinkle all the spices on it and drizzle it with oil. Rub the seasoning on both sides till all the roast is coated well. Try wrapping lemon grass around it by using a butcher twine as shown in the video. Make several double butcher knots around the roast and cut excess twine. Tuck garlic cloves under the twine. Transfer to a cast iron pan. Cover tightly with a foil and bake at 400 F for 3 to 3 ½ hours. Then uncover and check if the meat is tender, if not continue cooking it.
You can also use an instant pot and then your oven broiler to prepare your roast conveniently.
Let's cook our rice.
Sauté onion and whole spices in oil for 5 minutes. Then add chopped tomatoes to it and cook with the lid on till the tomatoes are soft. Pour stock and water into the pot and bring it to a boil. Add salt. Now drain your soaked sella rice and transfer it to your pot. Continue cooking it uncovered till most of the moisture is absorbed. This can be seen in the video.
Then place the lid on it and steam the rice on the lowest heat setting for 20-25 minutes.
Cut your mini potatoes as seen in the video. Sprinkle with seasoning and salt and bake them uncovered for 45 minutes with the roast.
Discard the lemongrass and the twine from around your roast and shred or cut the meat.
Assemble and serve as per your choice. But remember to have a salad and plain yogurt on the side of your meal. May it be a healthy meal for all of you. Amen! Enjoy!
