Simple Pot Roast

Above: Colder Days, Means Cooking Comfort Food

When the days turn shorter, and the temperature drops into colder, freezing nights, it's time for some Comfort food. For me, that means cooking a Pot Roast.



It's an easy meal, and fairly cheap, too... a simple Chuck Roast will do, and that's relatively inexpensive. I start out with coating the 4 pound (abt 1.8kilo) Chuck in flour

I sear the Roast on all sides, in the cast iron Dutch Oven. After searing, I remove the roast, and prep the pot for Brazing. Add olive oil, and add the Diced Onion, Celery, and Carrot, let those soften some. Once the vegetable are softened, about 5 minutes or so, I add in some beef broth, and put the roast back into the Dutch Oven. Make sure the liquid covers about half of the roast.

Put the Roast and Pot into the oven for about 2 hours at 350ºF (175ºC)

After 2 hours, remove the roast, and strain any of the vegetables out of the Dutch Oven. Add some Corn Starch, to thicken the liquid into a nice gravy.

If you follow me, you know I prefer to grow my own food for my family and friends.You probably also know, my love language seems to be serving. For my family and friends, that means, cooking and serving them healthy, locally grown food, whenever and wherever I can. Local food has a much lower impact on our local, national, and global environment.

And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.
