• 7. Remove roast from pot, cover and keep warm; set aside.
• 8. GRAVY: Sorry there are no measurements for the gravy, it's just one of those dishes you have to work with to get it right. Strain the drippings from the roast into a skillet and heat over medium heat. Add a few heaping spoonfuls (one at a time) of flour to the hot drippings; stirring to make paste. NOTE: you dont want this paste too dry or too wet. Add warm water, a cup at a time; stir. Keep adding additional water (and continue stirring) until your gravy is the consistancy you like. NOTE: If you used the rub recipe I used, no additonal seasoning is necessary. Spoon gravy over slices of roast, mashed potatoes and/or biscuits.
