Sue Ellen’s Pot Roast
Walter’s favourite! Do we think that Sue-Ellen actually lifted a finger in the kitchen, let alone made pot roast? It’s unlikely, but it deserves it’s place in the recipe book as a great American family dinner alongside meatloaf.
Method
Preheat oven to 160ºC fan
Season the meat with salt, pepper and thyme
In your pot, heat some oil
Once the oil is hot, sauté the meat until deep browned on both sides
Add the potatoes, carrots and garlic around the side of the meat
Pour in the beef stock and put on the lid
Place in the oven and cook for approx. three hours, until meat is tender
Serve with the potatoes, carrots and roasted garlic
