letting your pot roast

Few things in life perplex me more than a pot roast. A slab of beef, a tough slab no less, that when cooked slowly in liquid becomes a stringy moist mess of meat that makes a delicious belly warming meal. That is if you have the patience...and I do not. Past attempts at this dish have resulted in rubbery sad pieces of meat that aren't fit to give the dog. Which makes me want to conquer said pot roast even more!

Tonight channeling my mother as best as I can (Mom make's the best pot roast hands down) I pull out the LeCreuset, the boneless chuck she gave me and vow to not wreck the roast. I understand the science of the cooking method with this cut of meat, and maybe time, the wait and my mother's long distance vibe pay off.

A delicious meat feast with potatoes and carrots and homemade gravy. Success!
