One Pot Roast

It's time for a Roast!

Turkey weekend is the sure sign that winter is coming, time to get comfortable with some comfort foods that are filling and good for you. Pot roast is a simple and easy thing for first time or newbie cook's to do because you get your protein, veg, and drippings all in one! Tried VG Farms beef this week that I picked up at Longo's. Turned out pretty good and was readily available at a reasonable price! 

Ingredients:

2-2.5 lbs of Good Quality Beef Rib Roast, or Shoulder
1 Cup Chopped Carrots
1 Cup Chopped Celery
1 Cup Chopped Onions
2 Cups Potato (Both Sweet and White Potato)
Sprig of Rosemary or Thyme (your preference)
Bacon Fat or Avocado Oil (need the oil to sear the meat)
Beef Stock - homemade if you got it!
Salt & Pepper

1. In a large pot that has a fitted lid, add in your fat or oil. On medium-high heat, sear your roast on each side for about 3 minutes each (this will keep it tender inside).
2. Once that is done, add in all your vegetables, and then the stock until it is just covering the top of the beef.
3. Cover the pot and reduce the heat so that it is cooking on a simmer. Not a big boil, as that will make the beef tough. Cook for approximately 1 to 1-1/4 hours, checking to stir vegetables every once in awhile.
4. When done to your liking. Remove the beef and let rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. You don't want to cut it right away, as it will loose all the goodness out of it. Scoop out your vegetables and then cut your beef and top with the stock "jus" - Enjoy!
