Roast Beast

I know, by now you’re saying to yourself, “Does this woman use her oven to cook everything?!” Yes. The answer is yes.

Keep in mind that this will take several hours to cook. I like my meals to either require effort or take time, but never both. This one takes time, but requires no effort.

Preheat oven to 275*.

Obtain & place in large skillet:

1 Chuck Roast (or whatever is the cheapest chunk of meat you can find that is generally super tough)

Season generously on both sides with:

3 – 4 T. Montreal Steak Seasoning

2 – 3 T. Worcestershire Sauce

Sprinkle on top:

5 Sprigs Rosemary

5 Sprigs Thyme

Cut into quarters & scatter on top of roast:

6 Garlic Cloves

Cook in oven, uncovered, for 3 hours.

If you are making Yorkshire Puddings as a side, I would recommend starting the batter now.

Cut into wedges or large chunks:

2 Onions

8 Red/Gold Potatoes or 4 Russet Potatoes

10 Thin or 5 Large Carrots

10 Branches or 1 Stalk Celery

Arrange vegetables around roast.

Combine & pour over everything:

3 c. Water

2 Beef Bouillon Cubes or 2 t. Beef Broth Base

2 T. Cornstarch

Cover with foil.

Cook, covered, for 4 – 5 more hours.

This can be a meal all by itself with the potatoes & carrots; but if you have a very hungry family like I do, you can stretch things by adding Rice, Yorkshire Puddings, Brussel Sprouts, Green Beans or several other sides into the mix.
