Tonight I'm making round 2 of a pot roast I made a while back. When Publix has sales on meat, I've learned to stock up and keep a bunch of chicken breasts, pork loin chops, roasts and ribs in the freezer so I have something on hand whenever we need a good meal. I'd used up everything except the pot roast so I needed an idea of how to prepare it on the spot with no special ingredients. I open the spice cupboard, and....
Grill Mates Montreal Steak Marinade!
(*The one I used was actually the low-sodium kind, which I thought would be better for us in conjunction with the meat, but I couldn't find the low-sodium ones again at Publix so we'll be using the regular type tonight)
Let me show you how easy it is to make this roast:
1) Brown roast in pan with a little bit of olive oil on both sides.
2) Add 1/2 cup of water and 2 Tbs white vinegar plus packet seasonings (basically following packet directions, without the oil) to a crock pot.
3) Put roast in crock pot. Set for 6-8 hours.
I figured that this roast couldn't be bad, but I never expected how good it would actually be! Now, I love pot roast, but there's a certain point where the meat starts to taste bland after eating a few bites of it. Not THIS roast! Every bite was amazing and had just a bit of that peppery kick to it.
Not to mention that the gravy made from the leftover liquids in the crock pot was fabulous, too! :)
We almost always eat ribs/pot roast with mashed potatoes and corn. These are made from a box/ warmed up in the microwave. Also easy. Sometimes I go all out and make Bisquick biscuits too, which takes all of 10 minutes, and are so yummy.
See, good cooking can be easy and fool-proof! ;)
