PERFECT POT ROAST WITH VEGETABLES AND GRAVY



Perfect Pot Roast With Vegetables and Gravy image

I have always loved comfort food and a well prepared pot roast tops the list. There are more recipes for pot roast than there are pots too cook them. Many of those recipes, however, produce dry, pasty-looking meat and vegetables that just don't quite make it. I've taken the best from lots of different techniques and come up with what I think is a recipe you'll enjoy time and again. Quite a few different cuts of beef are "suitable" for pot roast: bottom round, rump and front cut brisket to name a few. A blade cut chuck roast is far and away the best choice, however. It's fattier than the others and during the long, slow cooking process called braising, the chuck produces the most mouth watering end result. Be sure to brown the roast and vegetables before braising. This improves the flavor and also enhances the appearance as the high heat used during browning carmelizes the sugars in the meat. The quantity of each of the ingredients can be varied a little to suit your individual taste. Accordingly, the timing suggested is only a guide and you should test for doneness as you begin to approach the end of the cooking time. This recipe calls for cooking in a crock pot. You can also use a large heavy Dutch oven and cook in the oven.

  • Gravy: 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.

Spoon batter into pan about 2-ounce ovals. When brown, place on paper towel to absorb excess oil.

This can be cooked in the oven or on the rangetop. It is even more flavorful if made a day ahead, and the fat is easier to lift off the pan juices if it's cold. I usually reheat it while making some potato pancakes.

SUNDAY DINNER SAVORY POT ROAST BEEF



Sunday Dinner Savory Pot Roast Beef image

I came up with this when I was tired of the typical onion soup flavored roast beef recipe, but not in the mood for the robust red wine version I use. My kids liked it a lot (they range in age from 1 to 14 and even the baby ate it up!) I serve it with scalloped potatoes and a green salad. We like it for Sunday Dinner after church.
