I made this for my mom, when she came to visit. She loved it. I used a pasta instead of the dumplings, but it was just as good.

Provided by Robin Moede

Categories     Roasts

Time 4h50m

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 lb pot roast
3-4 Tbsp flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
4 Tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic
1 large onion, sliced
12 whole peppercorns
5 bay leaf
12 whole allspice
1 pkg dry onion soup mix
1 Tbsp grated horseradish
1 c good rum or dry red wine
1 c water
small whole carrots or large carrots, quartered
DUMPLINGS
1 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 c whole milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • 1. Use this recipe for either regular meat, buffalo or venison.
  • 2. Mash garlic and saute in butter.
  • 3. Add salt & pepper to the flour. Dredge meat in flour.
  • 4. Brown well on all sides in butter.
  • 5. Lay meat on bed of sliced onion in large dutch oven.
  • 6. Add the butter, spices, onion soup mix and seasonings.
  • 7. Pour rum or wine over meat.
  • 8. A good pot roast will supply most of its own juices, but pour the water over to make an ample supply of gravy.
  • 9. Cover tightly and simmer 4+ hours (until the meat is tender), either in oven or on the stove top.
  • 10. If carrots are wanted, add during last 1/2 hour of cooking.
  • 11. Add dumplings last 12 minutes.
  • 12. In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, thyme and salt.
  • 13. In a measuring cup combine milk and egg. Mix well and add to flour mixture. Stir with a fork to make a lumpy dough (do not overmix - lumps are fine).
  • 14. Drop dumpling mixture, by the heaping spoon full, over meat. Should make about 12 dumplings.
  • 15. Cover and simmer for 12 minutes or until tester inserted in center of dumpling comes out clean.
  • 16. When roast is done, remove to a hot round platter and surround with dumplings and carrots.
  • 17. Stir gravy until smooth.
  • 18. Pour over roast.
  • 19. If fresh dill is available, cut it over dish with lavish hand.
  • 20. *If the gravy is too thin, make a roux with the leftover flour. Stir it into boiling gravy.
  • 21. **You can also make this in a crock pot. Extend cooking time to 8 hrs. and cook the dumplings for about 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy crust on your pot roast, ensure that the meat is seared on all sides over medium-high heat before adding the liquid.
  • Use a Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid to ensure that the pot roast cooks evenly and stays moist.
  • Browning the vegetables before adding them to the pot adds a rich flavor and depth to the sauce.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick during cooking, add a little bit of water or broth to thin it out.
  • Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or spaetzle for a complete and delicious meal.

Conclusion:

German-style pot roast is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its tender meat, flavorful sauce, and vegetables, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your household. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
