Old Fashioned Pot Roast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 to 5 lb. roast (beef or pork)
salt and pepper
3 to 4 Tbsp. flour
2 Tbsp. oil
1 medium onion, sliced or quartered
potatoes and carrots

Preparation

Trim roast; salt and pepper.
Sprinkle with flour and pat all sides of roast to be sure it is well coated with seasonings and flour.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven; brown all sides of the roast, remove and set aside.
If there is not enough oil remaining in the Dutch oven, add a little more and make a roux by browning some of the remaining flour in the oil and then adding water.
Return roast to pan with the onion; cover and bring to a slow boil.
Lower heat and cook slowly for 1 to 2 hours depending on size of the roast. The last 30 minutes, add potatoes and carrots.
Serve with rice and salad for a full meal.
