0:07
I'm going to move over here and I'm
0:09
gonna start on our crock pot roast
0:13
so let's come on over here and start
0:17
untying our chuck roast this one's just
0:22
been tied up to keep it from falling
0:25
apart and you can see from all the
0:28
marbling in our roast that it's going to
0:32
give it great flavor and moisture and
0:35
this is so simple I've been making this
0:37
recipe for years for my family I used to
0:41
put this roast on before I would leave
0:42
for work and it was so nice to come in
0:46
and have this aromatic meat just hitting
0:49
me in the face as I came in the door so
0:52
now that's all we're gonna do to that
0:53
and this is our house seasoning makes it
0:56
so simple because it's just one movement
0:58
and I've got my cast-iron skillet nice
1:01
and hot and I'm gonna add just a couple
1:03
of tablespoons of all and we're just
1:06
gonna Brown him and sear him off good
1:12
we're not by any means gonna try to get
1:15
him cooked because you can see he's a
1:17
big thick boy I want to spend a few
1:19
minutes with you just talking about
1:21
different cuts of meat a chunk roast is
1:24
a relatively inexpensive cut and I just
1:27
love cooking with it now you can
1:29
certainly pick out a prettier piece of
1:32
meat but I've just found that the more
1:34
expensive the meat the less flavor it
1:37
has so a cheaper cut of meat you're
1:40
gonna find more fat in it and if you
1:42
find more fat you're gonna find more
1:44
flavor we're sealing this because it's
1:47
gonna trap that flavor in that moisture
1:49
inside of your roast and when we put in
1:52
our crock-pot when we put our liquids in
1:55
it starts cooking then all those flavors
1:57
are gonna come out into the pot and he's
2:00
smelling good already we've got our
2:03
roast ready and the new crock pots today
2:05
are just wonderful because the liners
2:07
lift out which makes it so much easier
2:09
than the old timey crock pot that was
2:12
stationary in there cooking element now
2:15
all we're gonna do to this pot roast now
2:17
is cover it with onions
2:20
just a regular sweet onion we're going
2:23
to stick in a few bay leaves we're gonna
2:25
add a couple of beef bullion cubes now
2:27
these are a little larger than what I
2:29
normally use so I'm just going to drop
2:31
in two of these today rather than three
2:36
and we're gonna top it with cream of
2:39
mushroom soup and the cream of mushroom
2:45
soup is gonna supply us with our gravy
2:48
it's gonna mix with the stock that comes
2:51
out of the roast and it's gonna be
2:54
totally and perfectly yummy and now I'm
2:56
going to top it off with just a couple
2:58
of cloves of garlic in fact you don't
3:00
even have to slice it you can just bust
3:02
it up we're gonna put a little splash of
3:04
wine we're gonna pour a little water
3:13
you'll want to just kind of cover your
3:17
roast so we're ready to go and we're
3:21
gonna let this cook now for about eight
3:22
hours which is hopefully a typical
3:25
working day you can leave it in the pot
3:29
a little longer if you like your meat
3:31
more tender and it's just as tender and
3:35
juicy as I knew it would be
3:38
it's just wanting to fall apart on us
3:42
now at this point I would throw this
3:46
into a sauce pot and mix a little
3:49
cornstarch and cold water up and I would
3:51
thicken this up but again that's
3:53
strictly a personal preference some
3:55
people might like their gravies thin and
3:58
I can really kind of go either way but
4:01
if I had to choose I'd probably lean
4:03
towards the thicker gravy looks yummy
