pot roast

 

Ingredients:

1 to 1 ½ pound boneless beef chuck pot roast or cross-rib roast (You may need to buy a 2 to 2 ½ pound roast, cut in half and freeze the other half for future use)

3/8 cup tomato juice (Use a ¾ measuring cup and fill half way-this equals 3/8 cup)*

1 Tablespoon tomato paste*

½ Tablespoon snipped fresh sage or ½ teaspoon ground sage

5 cloves garlic, halved

Salt & Pepper to taste (3/4 teaspoon per pound of salt is the average)

½ Tablespoon olive oil

¾ pounds tiny new potatoes or 2 medium potatoes

2 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces

1 small onion, cut into wedges

1 stalk celery, bias-sliced into 1-inch pieces

Directions:

Trim fat from meat. Place meat in a plastic bag and set the bag into a shallow dish. For marinade, in a small bowl combine the tomato juice, tomato paste, sage, garlic, and pepper. Pour over meat; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally. Drain meat, reserving the marinade.

In a Dutch oven brown the meat on both sides in hot oil. Drain fat. Pour the marinade over meat. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.

Remove a narrow strip of peel from around the center of each new potato (Or peel and quarter each medium potato). Add potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery to meat. Cover and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes or until meat and vegetables are tender, adding some water if necessary. Transfer meat and vegetables to a platter. Serve with some pan drippings if desired.

*Freeze any leftover tomato juice or tomato paste in an ice cube tray until solid. Transfer to a freezer safe container and store for a later use.
