Ruth’s Oven Pot Roast
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.

- When the internal temperature reaches 140˚F, remove it from the oven and gently stir the gravy in the dish until silky smooth.
