pot roast?

the begining of the year DH and I made a pot roast (i think) that was out of this world. i cant remember exactly how to make it and was looking on line but cant find all the details.

It was very basic. (done on stove top)
Put meat in pot
? cup water
2 large onions
cook

when done remove meat
add some flour to thicken up gravy


does this sound like anything that you cooked before? I need the finer details.

Thanks

Re: pot roast?

i'm not positive about that particular recipe, my mom used to cook it like that though!

i do have a simple pot roast recipe though

1packet onion soup mix
1-2 cans jellied cranberry sauce
pot roast

throw it in the crock pot and there you go! Yummy!!

Re: pot roast?

It's not your recipe but the one I make is super easy too:

Season meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder.
Sear all sides on high heat until brown
Add 2 cups beef broth & 2 cups of water (enough to almost cover the roast)
Simmer for 1-1/2 hours.
Add Sliced onion, carrots, celery (any other root veggie like parsnips, potatoes or turnips are good too)
Simmer another 1/2 hour or until veggies are fork tender.

Take out meat and veggies. Mix 1 cup of juice with 2 tbs cornstarch ... wisk back into pot and bring to a boil. Let it thicken.

Serve over noodles, rice or mashed potatoes

Re: pot roast?

My mom made this yesterday-I walked in to pick up DS, it smelled sooooo good!

Brown meat
Add water to about 1/2 way over meat
2 bay leaves
3 carrots
1 onion chopped small
4 beef bouillon cubes

Let simmer on oven on med/low for a couple of hours.

Take meat out, strain out carrots (to eat), and make gravy by adding flour/water mixture to thicken.
