My mom's pot roast

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Black pepper
Olive oil or butter
2 tablespoons Kitchen Bouquet (up to 3)
¾ cup Worcestershire sauce
Carrots
Potatoes
Pearl onions
More Worcestershire if desired

Directions

The advantage of this recipe is that it can make nearly any cut of meat tender and juicy.

Sprinlle with black pepper an brown meat in minimal olive oil or butter in heavy-bottomed pot. Add water to cover, 2-3 T Kitchen Bouquet and ¾ c Worcestershire sauce. Simmer, covered for 1½ hours, keeping water about level with top of roast, turning roast often. Add carrots, potatoes and pearl onions, and more Worcestershire if desired. (I think my mom ends up using about 1½ cups by the time the pot roast is finished) Simmer covered for about 1 hour, reducing liquid to about ¾ inch in bottom of pot, adding water only if necessary. Serve with cooking broth on the side.

Everyone has their favorite Worcestershire sauce. I find that Lea and Perrins gives this pot roast a mildly spicy flavor, and French's a more mellow flavor.
