Stove Top Pot Roast
Recipe: #39
August 07, 2011
"I usually add in about 1/3 cup of dry red wine in with the beef broth it really brings up the flavor and helps to tenderize the meat, use as much garlic as you like since I am an extreme garlic lover I use a whole bulb and then I add even more whole garlic cloves in with the beef broth, use only sodium beef broth only for this and no added salt until the end of cooking, the amounts are only a guideline and may be adjusted, frozen baby onions may be used in place of chopped yellow onion Plan ahead the roast needs to sit at room temperature for 1-1/2 hours before browning"
