Fallin To Pieces Pot Roast With Carrots And Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• *prep time does not include time in frig to marinate, which is optional*.
• In a small bowl, combine onion soup mix, garlic powder, and Accent into one uniform dry mixture.
• Rinse roast with water and pat dry. Rub all surfaces of the meat with the dry spice mixture.
• Stab the spice mixture into the beef using a penetrating meat tenderizer tool or the tines of a fork, puncturing many times over all surfaces of the meat. This step is important. Use any remaining dry spice mixture to rub over the meat again.
• Wrap the meat tightly in saran wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours. (optional -- you can skip this step and put it right in the slow cooker if you want, and it will still taste fantastic).
• Slice the onion into thin slivers. Put 1/3 of the onion slivers into the bottom of a slow cooker or crock pot.
• Place the seasoned beef on top of the onions, in the center of the slow cooker.
• Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut into large chunks and put into slow cooker along with the carrots and remainder of the onion. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to suit your taste.
• Dissolve a beef bouillon cube in 1 1/2 to 2 cups hot water and pour over the vegetables, surrounding the meat(you want about 2 or 3 inches of water in the bottom of the slow cooker- this will make a great tasting 'au jus').
• Cook on medium high heat in slow cooker for first two hours, then reduce heat to low-medium for an additional three hours. 5 hours cooking time usually does the trick for me, but 6 hours is fine too!
• **Key: If it ain't fallin' apart, it's not ready yet! You should not even be able to slice this -- the servings are literally pulled apart with a fork straight to the plate.**.
• Serving suggestion: I like to do a quick mash of the potatoes with my fork after I get the potato chunks on my plate and add butter or margarine to taste, then spoon some of that good liquid from the slow cooker over the top! It's out of this world.

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Pour in 2 tablespoons oil. Add roast to hot oil and cook until browned all over, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Add broth.
• Combine remaining oil, potatoes, carrots, onion, and soup mix in a resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake to coat evenly. Pour mixture into the pressure cooker and spread out evenly.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 60 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Remove roast from pot and place on a serving platter, leaving drippings in the pot.
• Select Saute function and bring drippings to a boil. Combine water and cornstarch in a bowl and add to drippings. Cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Season gravy with garlic salt and pepper.
• Slice roast and serve with vegetables and gravy.

Steps:

• Sprinkle roast well with salt and pepper.
• Place in a large roasting pan.
• Add water, cover and cook roast for 1 1/2 hours in a 325* oven.
• Uncover and arrange vegetables around roast in pan.
• Recover and cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours longer or until meat and vegetables are both fork tender.

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil and dry soup mix in a large ziplock bag.
• Mix well until the soup mix has absorbed some of the oil.
• Add the pork to the bag and let marinate for 30 minutes making sure the mixture has covered it.
• Meanwhile, cut the peeled potatoes into small pieces (about an inch) and put them in a baking dish. Add the carrots.
• After the pork has marinated place it on top of the carrots and potatoes and pour the excess marinate over the pork, potatoes, and carrots.
• Bake at 375 until the potatoes are fork tender.
