How to Make The Carter's Roast Fuhrmannsbraten Braised Beef Roast

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter or oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven or pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Generously season a 2-3 lb beef arm roast (or your preferred cut) with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon paprika. Brown the roast on all sides in the hot fat over medium-high heat.
  3. Remove the roast from the pot and set aside on a plate.
  4. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped) to the pot. Brown the vegetables, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Return the roast to the pot.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 teaspoon allspice, and 1 teaspoon caraway seeds.
  7. Pour 1 cup of beef broth into the pot, stir, and bring to a simmer. Cover tightly.
  8. Transfer the pot to a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C). Braise for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender. Check occasionally and add more broth if necessary to prevent sticking.
  9. Remove the roast from the pot and keep warm, loosely tented with foil.
  10. Carefully puree the braising liquid and vegetables using an immersion blender or in a regular blender (in batches).
  11. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream into the sauce and heat through gently over low heat. Do not boil.
  12. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
  13. Slice the roast and serve generously topped with the delicious sauce.
