Best Pot Roast
My husband and I used to raise cattle, so I prepared a lot of beef. This old-fashioned pot roast is the best, smooth gravy is a tempting topper for the tender, flavorful meat. I like to serve it with crisp potato pancakes.
Ingredients
- 1 rolled boneless beef chuck roast (6 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- Salt and coarsely ground pepper
- 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
- 1 celery rib, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups water
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) beef broth
- 2 bay leaves
- GRAVY:
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 to 5 drops hot pepper sauce

My family doesn't rate too many recipes as excellent, but this one made it to that category.
Excellent gravy! - which is my main criterion for a pot roast recipe. This one's going into my "keeper" file. Chuck roast is about the only cut I use anymore as it still stays tender and doesn't dry out as all the other roasts seem to do these days.
