Southern-style Pot Roast Recipe

	Busmamawilliams / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago This is my momma's recipe. She's of Dutch-Irish extraction but was born & raised in the south. Her momma also made this wonderful pot-roast & so do I! Mashed potatoes are a MUST with this as it makes it's own delectable gravy! Prep:20m Cook:2m Servings:58	Busmamawill

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons cooking oil

3 pound rolled or chuck roast; with excess fat trimmed off

5 garlic cloves; halved

5 Tablespoons white flour

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 Tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon prepared mustard ( I like dijon-style best)

2 bay leaves

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules or 1/4 cup strong coffee

2 beef bouillion cubes; dissolved in 1/4 cup very hot water

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 medium onion; coarsely-chopped

4 cups (approx.) hot water

Directions

Make deep slits all over roast & insert all the garlic pieces deeply. Dredge roast in flour & pound flour into meat with a mallet or side of a sturdy saucer. Fry roast in a hot, heavy dutch-oven type pot, to which you have added the cooking oil. Make sure roast is a very deep brown on all sides.Add onions & saute for 2 minutes more. Add all remaining ingredients, along with the hot water ( 4 cups or just enough to completely cover meat). Bring to a boil then simmer, covered, for 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours, or until roast is very, very tender ( falling-off-the-bone tender). Remove roast & keep warm in a covered dish. Boil down liquid in pot, over medium flame (taking care not to let it stick or scorch) until the consistency of gravy. Return meat to pot & heat thoroughly.

Serve meat on a platter & pass gravy on side. Mashed potatoes are a must!
