Best 2 Shoneys Pot Roast Recipes

SHONEY'S SLOW COOKED POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Melt the butter in a large oven safe pot and sear all sides of the roast in the butter for 2-3 minutes per side or until all sides are browned.
• Remove the meat from the pot to a plate. Add the onion, celery, bay leaf, garlic, peppercorns, thyme and parsley to the pot that the meat was browned in and saute over high heat for 5 minutes until the onions just start to brown.
• Put the roast back into the pot with the vegetables. Add the stock and 1/2 teaspoons salt.
• Cook the meat in the oven, covered, for 4 hours or until the meat is tender enough to tear apart. Every half hour or so, baste with the broth so that it does not dry out.
• When the roast is tender, remove it from the pot and strain the stock into a medium bowl. Discard the vegetables and spices but keep the stock.
• Using 2 forks, shred the roast apart into slightly bigger than bite-size chunks. Put the meat back into the pot and pour the stock over it. Add the remaining 1/2 t salt and carrots.
• Put the pot back into the oven and cook for 40-50 minutes. This will make the meat even more tender and fill it with flavor. By this time the carrots should be tender.
• Just before serving the pot roast make a gravy by staining the stock from the pot roast and combining it with an additional 2 cups of stock. Sprinkle the flour into a medium saucepan and stir in the liquid. ( you should have about 3 cups of stock altogether. If not, add water until you reach 3 cups of liquid). Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often until thick. Remove from heat.
• Serve the roast and carrots on a bed of mashed potatoes with the gravy poured over the top. Salt and pepper to taste.
