Question

easy simple method--please.
What kind of roast?

Answer 1

Take a pot roast or oven roast and put in in a pan and add your veggies, (they make roast bags that you can put it all in.) and then bake it at 350* until tender. About 1 fr or so for a small roast. For the gravy, take the broth off the roast and then take a small amount of corn starch and add water to that to make it glue like (think Elmer's glue) and then add that to the broth and stir it up with a wire whisk to take lumps out, and stir till it thickens over low heat.

Answer 3

Get a roast that is suitable for the oven. Roll it all over (dredge it) with flour.

Choose a large, heavy pot, and put a couple spoonfuls of oil into it. Bring it to medium heat and put the roast into it. Let it get lightly brown on all sides.

Add water until the roast is nearly covered. Clap a lid on it, turn the heat down to low, and walk away for a couple hours.

When you come back, get these things ready: a small bag of peeled ready-to-eat baby carrots; a fistful of celery; a large onion (or two!), peeled and cut into sections. Put all of these into the pot with the roast, and put the lid back on. Go do something else for 45 minutes.

Come back and peel a couple large potatoes (or three!), and cut them into large chunks. Toss them into the pot.

The potatoes will take 20 minutes to cook, so, set your table. When the pot roast is ready, take the meat out, let it sit for 15 minutes to cool slightly, and slice it.

If the sauce isn't thick enough to suit you, mash some soft butter with a large spoonful of flour, and stir this paste into the sauce. Use a whisk to avoid lumps.

And now, the Big Secret: add a tablespoon of Kitchen Bouquet. Add salt and pepper to taste, and bring everything to the table (I serve the meat sliced, on the side, and the veggies & gravy in a tureen).

Answer 4

I use the crock pot to cook mine. Just put the roast in with 1/2 c. water and your onions, add some garlic and salt and pepper and cook it on low most of the day, add your potatoes and carrots a few hours before you want to eat. I take the broth that the roast makes and thicken it. I strain the broth into a saucepan and turn the heat on low and mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little warm water and mix up will and pour into broth and stir until thickened.

Answer 5

I purchase any kind of pot roast. Place it in my crockpot with carrot, onions and potatoes and fill it with water. I add two packages of lipton onion soup mix and cook it until ready. I remove the veggies and meat and make a flour/milk mixture (1 c. milk to 4 T. flour mixed) and pour it into the water mixture that's left and continue to stir and cook it until it thickens.

Answer 6

Go to www.foodnetwork.com and look at Alton Brown's recipe. He is really good and he makes it real simple and he shows how to make the gravy too.

Answer 7

I usually use packets of Brown Gravy to it.
