Ruth’s Oven Pot Roast

Ruth’s Oven Pot Roast

Brian CampbellCamfam Cookery
Grandma Ruth's pot roast recipe as dictated by Doyle. Of course, as dictated, the roast came out dry but wonderfully tasty. I changed the cooking times and temperature settings to create a wonderfully moist roast with a silky gravy while retaining the flavors.

  • Add potatoes, onions, carrots, and parsnips (optional).
  • Mix the remaining flour into the 3 cups of beef broth and pour into the dish, BUT NOT ON TOP OF THE MEAT, you don't want to wash off the flour from the meat.
  • Add butter to the dish.
