Best Pot Roast With Soy Or Lima Beans Recipes

PERFECT POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
• Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
• Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
• If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
• With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
• Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
• Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

POT ROAST WITH SOY OR LIMA BEANS

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat a large ovenproof skillet that can later be covered over high heat for about a minute. Add oil and, after a moment, meat. Immediately transfer to oven. Let sit there for 10 minutes, then turn and brown other side for 10 minutes.
• Remove meat from oven, and sprinkle with pepper. Add beans to pot, along with soy sauce and 1 cup water. Cover, and return to burner, adjusting heat so mixture simmers. Cook slowly, turning about every half-hour, until meat is very tender, at least 2 hours (and not unlikely 4). If heat is low enough -- just a few bubbles should appear at a time -- you will not need to add more liquid, but do so if the mixture threatens to dry out.
• When meat is done, taste, and add salt if needed; serve with beans and sauce.
