Pot Roast

Pot Roast
16 May 2024

There's a good reason why you should make a pot roast. And that's because it's a pot roast! Pot roasts usually use tender pieces of beef, which have the most flavor. Cooking at a low temperature for a long time breaks down the hard connective tissues, resulting in beef with flavorful gravy and tender meat that separates into tender strands. The meat is browned, encircled with carrots, onions, and a combination of flavorful herbs and spices, and cooked until it can melt in your mouth.

Pot Roast

Instructions

  1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl to marinate the meat. With the help of a pointed knife, make holes all over the meat without shredding it, and allow the sauce to get into the meat. After spreading the sauce all over the meat, seal the bowl with cling film. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours. 
  2. After marinating the meat, tie the meat tightly on all sides with kitchen string to form a net. Then seal it on all sides with a tablespoon of butter and olive oil in a well-heated cast iron skillet. Place the meat on the baking sheet after sealing. Bake in the oven set to 170 degrees for 1 hour.
  3. For the sauce, melt the butter and roast the flour. Add hot broth little by little and cook until it reaches a thick sauce consistency. Add salt, pomegranate seeds, and black pepper for seasoning. Cook for 10 more minutes and remove from the stove.
  4. For the side dish, peel the carrots and add them to boiling water with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Boil over medium heat for 20–25 minutes. Drain and add coarsely chopped parsley, grated lemon peel, and olive oil, then mix.
  5. When the meat in the oven is cooked, take it out and remove the strings. Pour the sauce over it. Put it back in the hot oven and reheat for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with the side dish.
