CONTEST-WINNING OLD-FASHIONED POT ROAST
Every time I fix this recipe for friends, it's asked for - and usually by the husbands! As a new mom (Mike and I are the parents of a 9-month-old son) who works full-time, I also like how easy it is to prepare. It's one of our favorites. Some people I've shared the recipe with have used a beef brisket in place of the regular roast. For a bit different taste, I at times add red wine vinegar. My mom started me cooking young. I made my first from-scratch Thanksgiving dinner at 13. After that, I figured I could tackle about any cooking! -Georgia Edgington, Crystal, Minnesota

BONNIE'S GOOD OLD-FASHIONED POT ROAST
When I was 16, the first thing I ever baked was a pie, and the second thing I ever cooked was this recipe for old fashioned pot roast made in a cast iron skillet. It has stood the test of time, and the year I was 16 is way too many years ago for me to count! I am happy to share my recipe with my justapinch.com friends! Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 350, bake covered tightly with foil 2 1/2 hours to 3 hours, depending on when it becomes nice and tender.
- 2. Trim the fat from the chuck roast. Make incisions about 2 inches apart with a sharp paring knife and insert slivers of garlic. Do this all over the roast.
- 3. Salt and pepper the roast and rub it in, do this on both sides of the meat. Dredge the roast in flour and rub that in.
- 4. Heat just enough oil in cast iron skillet to sear the meat, and when it is hot, sear the meat on all sides until very brown. Turn off the heat.
- 5. Put the roast and the cast iron skillet on the middle rack in the oven. Put the A-1 sauce and the Worcestshire sauce all over the top of the roast. Now fill the skillet with water, up to about 1/2 from the top of the roast--don't cover the top with water. Make a lid of tin foil and seal it to keep the steam in. Cook for 2 1/2 hours or 3 or until roast is very tender. I serve it with pan roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Make a gravy from the drippings which is just divine.
- 6. ROASTED VEGETABLES: Ingredients 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 tablespoons diced yellow onion 1 teaspoon caraway seed crushed 1 clove garlic minced 12 baby carrots peeled and washed 3/4 pound new potatoes scrubbed 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Directions: Preheat oven to 400 then melt butter in saucepan large enough to hold carrots. Add onion and cook over medium heat two minutes until onion begins to wilt. Add minced garlic and caraway to saucepan and cook another minute. Add carrots to saucepan and toss to coat then cook stirring often for 2 minutes. Cover carrots with water and bring to boil then cook 2 minutes and drain through colander. Prick potatoes in several areas with a knife. Place potatoes and carrots in large mixing bowl then add olive oil and granulated garlic. Season with salt and pepper the toss to coat. Place potatoes and carrots in roasting pan and roast turning occasionally 35 minutes. Season vegetables with salt and pepper then serve immediately.
- 7. Simple, but oh, so good! This recipe will stand the test of time for you, too! Enjoy!
- 8. Cook's Tip: I have been asked in the past if other cuts of meat could be used instead of chuck. I have done that, but chuck is the preferred choice of meat for this recipe. It gets fork tender. I have also had people ask what cut of meat it is, and eyebrows will go up when you tell them it is chuck, because it is delicious prepared this way.
OLD FASHIONED POT ROAST WITH ONION GRAVY
Steps:
- Rinse meat under cold running water; pat dry with paper towels. Trim any visible fat, then dust meat with flour. In a large Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add meat and cook until browned on underside, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn meat and cook until underside is browned, 5 to 6 minutes longer. Remove to a plate. Preheat oven to 325f. Add remaining oil to Dutch oven and stir in onions. Cook until onions begin to soften and color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer add wine and cook down 4 to 5 min. Pour in tomato juice, stirring and scraping to pick up any bits from bottom. Season with thyme, papnka, and bay leaf. Add salt and pepper to taste. Return beef to pot and add enough water to cover all ingredients. Bring to a boil and skim any foam that comes to the surface. Cover tightly and cook in the oven until beef is fork-tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Add carrots and potatoes to pot and cook until tender, 30 to 60 min. Remove Dutch oven from the oven and remove cover. If liquid is too thin, remove the beef to a deep serving platter and reduce gravy to thicken slightly. Spoon gravy with onions and carrots around beef and garnish with parsley. Serve meat carved into ¼ inch slices.
OLD-FASHIONED POT ROAST
Steps:
- In Dutch oven, brown beef; add soup mix blended with water. Simmer, covered, turning occasionally, 2 1/2 hours or till beef is tender. If desired, chicken gravy.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good choices for pot roast.
- Brown the meat before braising. This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your pot roast. Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic choices, but you can also add other vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, or mushrooms.
- Season the pot roast well. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good basic seasonings.
- Use a flavorful liquid for braising. Beef broth, chicken broth, or even beer can all be used to add flavor to your pot roast.
- Cook the pot roast until it is fall-apart tender. This will usually take at least 2 hours, but it may take longer depending on the cut of beef you are using.
- Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Conclusion:
Pot roast is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful pot roast that your family and friends will love.
