I have been searching for a good pot roast recipe for a while and haven’t had much luck. All the ones I have tried have been fine, but nothing special. Until this one. Finally, some flavour !!!
Pot Roast
1 beef roast (1-2kg/3 to 4 lb)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 pkg onion soup mix
1/2 cup water
1 chopped onion
1 pinch garlic powder (I used 3 cloves of garlic, chopped instead)
salt and pepper
Using a dutch oven, sear the roast over medium-high heat until browned on all sides.
Add remaining ingredients to dutch oven, lower heat and simmer for 3-4 hours. Low heat oven (eg 130C/260F) also works.
Or, if you have a slow cooker, put it all in, and cook for 24 hours on low heat.
