Ingredients:
10 pounds scalped beef shoulder
garlic cloves, for rubbing beef
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 quart cranberry juice
cranberry sauce, recipe follows
1 1/2 gallons veal stock, recipe follows
salt and freshly ground black pepper
garlic mashed potatoes, serving suggestion, recipe follows
3 cups whole cranberries
6 ounces sugar
2 cups water
12 pounds veal bones
9 quarts water
1 1/2 pounds mirepoix (mix of chopped celery, onions, and carrots)
1 standard sachet of garlic cloves, peppercorns, parsley stems, and bay leaves
1 can tomato paste
2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled
4 ounces chopped roasted garlic
3/4 cup half-and-half
4 ounces (1 stick) butter
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Clean the beef shoulder and then split it in half. Rub meat with garlic. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, and then add beef and sear until golden brown on all sides. Add cranberry juice and deglaze pan, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to remove any browned bits. Transfer beef and pan juices to a roasting pan with the Cranberry Sauce and Veal Stock. Roast for approximately 5 hours, or until meat is completely tender and pulling apart. Serve with Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
3. Cranberry Sauce:
4. Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan and slowly bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low or low and let sauce reduce until thickened and the sauce comes together, about 1 hour.
5. Veal Stock:
6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
7. Roast the bones in the oven for 1 hour. Put the roasted bones in a large pot and add water to cover. Add all other ingredients and simmer for 24 hours. Drain stock and discard bones.
8. Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
9. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Over medium heat, bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender. Drain potatoes and add to a mixing bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and mash with an electric mixer or hand mixer to desired smoothness.
10. Yield: 8 to 10 servings
