Not Your Average Pot Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for at least 12 hours or until meat is tender.
• Make sure that the meat is completely covered by the sauce. If it isn't, add more tomato juice and balsamic vinegar.
• When serving, pour some of the sauce on top of the roast and make sure to get soem of the onions and raisins.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Place roast in a large baking pan; arrange potatoes, onion, carrots, and celery around roast. Pour 3 cups water into baking pan. Season roast with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until roast is browned and cooked through, about 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Transfer roast to an oven-safe platter. Remove vegetables using a slotted spoon and arrange around roast.
• Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place platter with roast and vegetables in the oven to keep warm.
• Pour the remaining juices from the baking pan into a saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir 1/2 cup water and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; pour into boiling pan juices. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring constantly, until gravy is thick, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir in browning sauce.

Steps:

• Rub dry rub into meat and let set overnight in the fridge.
• Sear meat in a pan in hot oil from the bacon until very well browned.
• Remove meat and set in a 5 quart pot.
• Place half of the carrots and onion in pan cook until caramelized. Pour half the sherry over to deglaze pan; stir in tomato paste, then pour over the meat in the pot.
• Cook remaining vegetables then add to pot.
• Put tomatoes in pot with meat along with chicken broth and remaining sherry.
• Add half of the potatoes.
• Cook on very low for 2 hours.
• Check sauce. If too thin, mash a few potatoes to thicken. Now add remaining veggies and white wine and cook for another hour.
