Tastes Like Steak Pot Roast--MMM my new fave

Jan 04, 2010

I was looking for a way to fix a pot roast that didn't involve lots of instant soups with their less-than-healthy transfats and other chemicals. Plus, I was bored. This turned out much better than I had hoped. I've made it twice, and I think it's gonna be a winter staple. Especially since we're having this gawd-awful cold snap, a week of teens and twenties!! This is not what I moved to Tennessee for, people. Just sayin'.

This is a good recipe for fairly new post-ops, because the meat is fork-tender. Also, good for anyone with lactose intolerance, since the butter doesn't have lactose.

Anyhoo, here's the recipe. Hope you like it.


Tastes Like Steak Pot Roast
for the crock pot

Ingredients:
pot roast
butter
splash of wine, any kind (I use Marsala sherry cause that's what they had at Costco)
garlic
McCormick's Montreal grilling spice (got at Publix, so not hard to find)
1/4 cup water

In skillet, melt 1/3 stick of butter on med high, add 2-4 cloves chopped garlic (or more!), and sprinkle the skillet with the Montreal spices. Add pot roast, then sprinkle more Montreal spices on top of it. Let pot roast brown, about 2 mins, then turn and brown other side. Place pot roast in crock pot.

Add splash of wine and 1/4 cup water to skillet, scraping bottom of skillet to loosen meat and spice drippings. Pour all drippings, spices, and garlic into crock pot on top of pot roast. Cook pot roast on high for 4 hours.

The juices are great for cooking mushrooms in, or adding to potatoes if you eat them.
