| I have done this, but it has been years.. Simple roast with carrots and potato's. How do you do it? |
|
Eh..my method:
Get about 4 garlic cloves and slice them thin. Poke holes in roast, stuff holes with garlic. Get olive oil hot in cast dutch oven, sear roast on all sides until a nice crispy brown (open windows). Add water and bring to a boil. Not necessary to cover, just keep enough water in there. Add onions. Keep boiling. Once roast is about done, add your carrots and other vegetables, salt, pepper, etc. Cook until vegetables are done. Serve with rice. |

At Chez Mowett here's how we do it, assuming you don't have a crock pot: Heat the oven to 350 F. Mix up some salt, pepper, garlic flakes, whatever other spices you like. Rub the spices into the roast. Cut up carrots, onions, mushrooms, etc. I like the onions because they turn into almost a jelly. And the mushrooms somehow still have an interesting texture after all the abuse. Mix the spices into the vegetables. Some people sear the meat at this point but that's too many steps for me. Put some olive oil or any oil all over the roast. Put the roast and vegetables into a metal roasting pan (channels on the bottom) that hopefully has a lid. If you don't have a lid make one from tinfoil. If you don't have any tinfoil thanks to 70satvert, find something flat that will sort of seal and won't burn your house down. Cook for 2.5 hours or until the edges of the roast flake off easily. |

Quoted: Go to www.foodtv.com Search: pot roast, rib roast, or whatever roast Follow instructions That's no fun. A mainstream site would give him the recipe but show how to make it "heart-smart" by substituting eggplant for the beef. And there would be a link where you could donate to offset the carbon footprint of the recipe. |

How I do a pot roast crockpot style:
Salt and pepper the roast, then brown in a very hot cast iron skillet. Place in the crockpot, pour an envelope of onion soup mix over it. Add a few cloves of garlic, a coarsely chopped onion, a couple of bay leaves, add a cup of beef broth and pour a can of diced or stewed tomatoes over the top. Let it run on low for four or five hours, then add quartered red potatoes, baby carrots and another onion if you like, and give it another three hours or so. |
