MOM'S POT ROAST WITH VIDALIA ONION GRAVY
The secret to this slowly cooked pot roast is that you add no liquid to the pan. The big sweet onions cook down, and this provides all the juices you need for the beef to simmer. From "The Dinner Doctor" by Anne Byrn.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels and season it with salt and pepper.
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge the roast in the flour, then shake off the excess.
- Heat the oil in a 5 to 6-quart heavy, covered flameproof casserole or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the roast and brown it on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove the casserole from the heat, and transfer the roast to a plate.
- Place the onion halves, cut-side down, in the bottom of the casserole. Place the roast on top of the onions and cover the casserole.
- Bake the beef until it is quite tender and the juices have thickened, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
- One hour before the beef is done, add the carrots and potatoes, if using, to the casserole. Spoon the juices over the vegetables to baste, replace the casserole lid, and return the casserole to the oven.
- To serve, carefully remove the roast from the casserole and slice it. Arrange the slices of beef on plates with the carrots, onion, and potatoes, if using, and spoon the pan juices on top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Season the beef brisket well with salt and pepper. Crush the thyme and rosemary together with a mortar and pestle and rub the herb mix into the beef, coating it evenly. Rub the beef well with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
- Heat a large saute pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the pan is nearly smoking. Add the beef to the hot pan and sear well on one side until browned before turning the beef over and searing the other side. When the beef has been well browned on both sides, remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the onions to the saute pan and cook them until golden brown. Add the red wine to the onions and reduce by half.
- Pour the onions into a large heavy roasting pan and spread evenly across the bottom before putting the beef on the bed of onions. Add the carrots, garlic, hot beef/water and celery bundle to the beef in the roasting pan and place, uncovered, into the oven. All the combined liquid should rise only 2/3 as high as the meat is thick. Add additional water to maintain the braising liquid height.
- Cook for 1 hour before turning the beef over. Cook the second side uncovered for 1 hour before covering the pan with a cover or foil and turning the oven down to 325 degrees. Continue to slowly braise the beef brisket for 1 1/2 to 2 additional hours.
- Remove the pan from the oven, discard the celery bouquet and allow the beef to rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving with some of the onion jus.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Place roast in a pan and season with tomato paste, garlic, bay leaves, pepper, salt and onion salt. Put 1 1/2-inches of water in the bottom of the pan. Surround the roast with 1/2-inch cubes or stew cuts of fresh vegetables.
- Cover the roast pan with another interlocking roast pan of the same size and roast for 2 hours. Then turn over and cook for another 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Separate the vegetables from the natural gravy stock. Pour the stock into a heavy gauge pot. Scrape the bottom of the roast pan and add to stock. You should have about 3 quarts of stock, if not add bouillon broth.
- Simmer and skim off the fat, then put 1 1/2 pints of the stock in a pan and add flour and whip until smooth. Gradually add this slurry to the simmering stock until a smooth thickness is achieved. Add the roasted vegetables to the gravy.
- Boil or steam potatoes until well done. Place in a mixing bowl and add the above ingredients. Whip, then serve.
- Rice potatoes through fine hole attachment. Dice onions fine in buffalo chopper and add to potatoes. Combine this with eggs, salt, parsley and white pepper. Add 2 pounds of flour and check consistency then add baking powder. If batter seems too loose or watery, add more flour until thick but not too stiff. In a large skillet, add enough vegetable oil so that when melted it will equal about 1/8-inch in bottom. Oil must be very hot before using or pancakes will turn out greasy. Spoon batter into pan about 2 ounce ovals. When brown, place on paper towel to absorb excess oil.
MOM'S POT ROAST
This is an old family recipe and it is the only pot roast recipe that I ever make. It is deceptively simple but the flavours just seem to go together incredibly well. The taste is quite different from the usual. Don't be tempted to put in more water than is called for. The moisture comes out of the onions and the meat and you end up with a delicious broth.
