German Style Pot Roast image

I made this for my mom, when she came to visit. She loved it. I used a pasta instead of the dumplings, but it was just as good.

Time 4h50m

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 lb pot roast
3-4 Tbsp flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
4 Tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic
1 large onion, sliced
12 whole peppercorns
5 bay leaf
12 whole allspice
1 pkg dry onion soup mix
1 Tbsp grated horseradish
1 c good rum or dry red wine
1 c water
small whole carrots or large carrots, quartered
DUMPLINGS
1 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 c whole milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • 1. Use this recipe for either regular meat, buffalo or venison.
  • 2. Mash garlic and saute in butter.
  • 3. Add salt & pepper to the flour. Dredge meat in flour.
  • 4. Brown well on all sides in butter.
  • 5. Lay meat on bed of sliced onion in large dutch oven.
  • 6. Add the butter, spices, onion soup mix and seasonings.
  • 7. Pour rum or wine over meat.
  • 8. A good pot roast will supply most of its own juices, but pour the water over to make an ample supply of gravy.
  • 9. Cover tightly and simmer 4+ hours (until the meat is tender), either in oven or on the stove top.
  • 10. If carrots are wanted, add during last 1/2 hour of cooking.
  • 11. Add dumplings last 12 minutes.
  • 12. In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, thyme and salt.
  • 13. In a measuring cup combine milk and egg. Mix well and add to flour mixture. Stir with a fork to make a lumpy dough (do not overmix - lumps are fine).
  • 14. Drop dumpling mixture, by the heaping spoon full, over meat. Should make about 12 dumplings.
  • 15. Cover and simmer for 12 minutes or until tester inserted in center of dumpling comes out clean.
  • 16. When roast is done, remove to a hot round platter and surround with dumplings and carrots.
  • 17. Stir gravy until smooth.
  • 18. Pour over roast.
  • 19. If fresh dill is available, cut it over dish with lavish hand.
  • 20. *If the gravy is too thin, make a roux with the leftover flour. Stir it into boiling gravy.
  • 21. **You can also make this in a crock pot. Extend cooking time to 8 hrs. and cook the dumplings for about 25 minutes.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I've made it for my family and friends many times, and they all love it too.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some chopped carrots, celery, and onions to the pot.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pot roast turned out dry and tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I made it with some leftover roast beef, and it turned out delicious.

This pot roast was amazing! The beef was so tender and juicy, and the gravy was rich and flavorful. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not a big fan of pot roast, but this recipe changed my mind. The meat was so tender and the gravy was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The meat was dry and the gravy was lumpy. I will not be making this again.

The meat was a little tough, but the gravy was delicious. I think I would cook it for a longer period of time next time.

This pot roast was a little bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add more vegetables. I think it would be even better with some carrots, celery, and onions.

I love that this recipe is so easy to make. I just threw everything in the pot and let it cook. Dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pot roast turned out perfectly. The meat was so tender it fell apart when I touched it with a fork.
