Pot Roast in the Oven 1/14

Katcat1 — Sun, 14 Jan 2018 20:46:32 GMT

A great day (it's cold outside 18) for pot roast. I picked up a small one which I salt & pepper and flour and brown in butter or margarine. Then I place in a roaster with fresh carrots, and cut up white potatoes. I also add Lipton onion soup mix and a little fresh onion and some water to slightly cover the veggies. Cook at 325 for 3 hours. The slower you cook the more tender the meat. Yummy. Serve with crusty bread or corn bread.

Oh, that sounds so good. I can almost smell it!! It is 11 degrees here. I wish I had something like that cooking here. Will have to do that soon. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I am doing the very same thing today for our dinner tonight. The only difference is the temp here is 45 (which is cold for me. I am in Texas and love my hot summers!).

I'm doing that tomorrow! We had a scare down here that we would get a wintry mix again on Wednesday. Right now the weather agencies have decided that we aren't going to have a "wintry mix". For the deep south of Georgia, people start driving crazy with just talking about such things. I pray it keeps at bay as school is back in session, unlike the first week of the year when we were paralyzed by it. I'll stick to my roast in my pressure cooker with carrots, potatoes, onion, celery, and mushrooms! I do a three envelope roast with beef stock, ranch dressing mix packet, Italian dressing mix packet and mushroom gravy packet. I know loads of sodium, but I load it up with veggies. It cooks quicker in the Instant Pot and infuses the flavors. I tried the Mississippi roast, but can't handle all of the butter in it.

Snowy weather is heading our way so I'll be making pot roast too. Will follow your recipe with the addition of some celery.

Yum, Potroast. Easiest stovetop meal EVER in a Duch Oven pot. It makes stew to much work.

I just made another batch of chicken noodle soup yesterday since it's so cold. Suppose to get down to 6° tonight with -1° with the wind chill.

Made pot roast in my Dutch Oven Thurs. it was so good.

I brown the roast with salt, pepper in olive oil, remove from pan, brown some onions in olive oil, place roast on top of onions add stock, organic potatoes & carrots, bay leaf & some red wine. Bring back up to simmer & place in oven at 275° until fall apart. Took 6 hrs for my 3 1/3 lb roast.

Remove the roast, potatoes, carrots etc from dutch oven.

Return dutch oven to stovetop to heat over medium heat 5-10 mins.

Melt 1/4 c butter, add 1/4 c flour to make roux, mix to thicken, add to liquid left in dutch oven, whisk well

Let simmer 5-10 mins to thicken gravy. YUM!!!

I think I've mentioned before that I make mine very similar to yours, and it also turns out fork-tender.

One of the things that I've learned to do so as not to have to braise it first, is to turn the oven up to 425 degrees, and let it roast uncovered for half an hour at that temp. first.

It gives the roast a nice brown color, and will break down any toughness in the meat.

After roasting at 425 for half an hour, I then take the roast out of the oven so that I can cover it tightly with foil.

I then turn the oven back down to 325 degrees, and then finish roasting until done. I consider it done for me when I can pierce it all of the way through with a knife, and it's tender to the touch that way.

I cooked a large beef arm roast for 5 hours like this just the other day, and it was fallling apart by the time that it was done.

It was very thick in one part, so I wanted to make sure that it would be tender by the time that it was done roasting.

I had roasted it in a large baking pan, and also roasted quartered red potatoes with it, along with mushrooms, quartered onions, baby carrots, and cut-up celery.

I put in a packet of beefy onion soup mix that I mixed with water and then poured over everything, where I added enough water for approx. 2 cups of liquid.

I also lightly seasoned everything with dried parsley, paprika, black pepper, and a light amount of seasoned salt, and added just a couple of shakes of Worcestershire sauce to cover everything, too.

That is how I make my pot roast....roasted one a few weeks ago, it was so good.....

I only use bottom round for pot roast - don't like stringy meat like chuck roast... Bottom round comes out nice and tender and get lots of thin slices from a small roast - around 3 lb... Makes enough for two and leftovers for the freezer.

hondagirl — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 18:46:40 GMT

I mix one packet of liptons onion soup mix with a large or 2 small cans of cream of mushroom soup (cambells) with some water to thin it out... Put in a heavy oven roaster covered for three hours on 275.... It is out of this world and the house smells delicious...

Hi Hondagirl,

I make mine the same way. I use a boneless chuck roast and cook at 300 covered in one of those old enamel roasting pans. The last hour I add potatoes, carrots and onions.

Always delicious.

Re: Pot Roasts /Roasts/or Corned Beefs in Reynold's Oven Bags.

GiantsLover — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 05:06:57 GMT

I do boil my bottom round corned beefs for 10 minutes and then simmer the corned beefs for 20 minnutes, and twice I change the water to ensure some of the nitrates and excess salt is removed. I always leave the butcher string attached and only remove before slicing.

Then I rinse the corned beef well, add 1/4 cup of flour into a large size Reynolds Oven Bag and shake the bag to coat it well, then add the sliced quartered baby red potatoes, baby carrots, and baby pearl onions, or cut slices of onions and open the rings and lay all the veggies in the floured bag first, then top them off with the corned beef and I also add the packet of peppercorns and seasinings tied with a cheesecloth bag so the bag keeps everything contained and only the flavors seep into the roasts. I also add 1 or 2 fresh bay leaves depending on the size of the roasts.

Tou can also place whatever meat you are roasting fat side up so it will drip down and baste the veggies underneath. add some slits into the Reynolds Oven bag so it will not burst, and oven roast corned beef trimmed of too much excess with the fat cap on top

I make my pot roast, other roasts, and corned beefs in a Reynold's Oven Bag placed in a large cassaerole 13X9 pan with quartered veggies (baby pearl onions or slivers of onions, sliced fresh mushrooms, quartered potatoes and baby carrots on meat roasts, and I season the meat roasts with greek seasoning which has all spices in it, or, I just add some dried parsley and dill, a few fresh bay leaves, and garlic powder.

I also add at least 1 cup of broth or water. Tie the bag closed with the included twist tie and oven roast it at 325 degrees for about 3 hours, and that is for a piece of meat with a 3 to 5 lb weight.

The meats always turn out moist, tender, and delicious every time.

P.S. My bototm round corned beef roasts usually do not need any fat cap trimming of any kind, since the fat cap is usually already prepared by the butcher, and is very thin and tied with butchers string very securely to remain on during entire cooking process.

Remove the butcher string and slice to serve with the veggies and some broth, from the Reynolds Oven Bag.

My mom made outrageous pot roast in the oven. And then if there was any left, she turned it into hot beef/gravy sandwiches the next day.
