As so many of you are waking up to snow, I'm sure that this recipe will hit the spot for you and your family on this cold and snowy Thursday!
Today I'm sharing how to prepare a delicious and tender pot roast...
Here's what you will need for this dish.
You will need...
Onion
Potatoes
Carrots
Salt
Pepper
and
last, but not least...
a boneless beef roast of your choice
Now, I shop for bargains and when buying my roasts whether beef or pork, I only buy them when I can get a good deal! You can always freeze them until you are ready to cook them!
I also like to choose one with a lot of marbling (The white lines in the meat are fat! That means extra flavor!!)
You don't want too much, but you do want to see it.
Okay, now you are ready to get started!
I normally cook a beef roast in a Crock Pot.
I will share that method with you real quick...
You take your rinsed beef roast and place it in a Crock Pot. Sprinkle one packet of onion/mushroom dry soup mix (I use Lipton brand) over your roast. Add one can of Cream of Mushroom soup, one small drained can of mushroom pieces and one can of water over your roast and cook on medium heat until done. This will make a yummy roast with a rich gravy, if that's your choice!
However, today I'm going to share a new way that I chose to prepare my roast and boy oh boy was it good!!
You will need a large cast iron or cast aluminum pot with a lid.
I got this one for Christmas from my hubby!
I LOVE it!!!
I started by rinsing my meat and dabbing it dry with a paper towel on both sides.
Then, I cut an onion in large pieces and placed it in the bottom of my pot. They will act as a base for my roast.
Next, I sprinkled my roast with salt and pepper on both sides and placed the roast on top of the onion.
Then, I placed the lid on my pot and cooked it low and slow for several hours.
I started out at 350 degrees for about one hour and then reduced the heat to 275 for hours, until it was getting fork tender, but still had a little cooking to do.
This is when I added my carrots and potatoes.
I just used baby carrots and roughly chopped potatoes with the skins on...
I placed them all around my roast and put the lid back on my pot and returned it to the oven at 300 degrees until the veggies and meat were all fork tender.
Doesn't this look so yummy?
Trust me... it was!
It turned out to be so tender and juicy, but without the thick, heaviness of a gravy.
I chose to serve this wonderful main dish with green beans and homemade rolls.
Love on a plate <3
Now that's comfort food if I've ever seen it...
Let me share this easy homemade roll recipe too.
You will need...
1 Cup of Self Rising Flour
1/2 Cup of Milk
3/4 Teaspoon of Sugar
and
3 Tablespoons of Mayonnaise
Yep, you read that right... Mayonnaise!
Blend all of these ingredients together and place into a greased or sprayed muffin pan.
Bake at 425 degrees for only 15 minutes!
These are super easy and are the perfect compliment to the pot roast!
I hope this meal will be just as comforting to your family as it was to mine...
Stay warm and enjoy!!
