8 small red potatoes

how to make pot roast family recipe

Make 5-6 slits in random spots on both sides of the roast

Peal garlic and cut each clove into 2-3 pieces, and stuff one piece into each slit on the roast

Season each side of roast with Italian season, rosemary, black pepper, onion powder (I use a little less than 1/2 teaspoon on each on both sides, but season accordingly to your taste)

Heat oil in pot big enough to hold roast and enough water to cover the roast

Once oil is hot, brown roast on both sides but do not cook through

When the roast is brown, add water to cover roast, the bouillon cubes, and bay leaves

Boil

Once water is boiling turn heat to medium, cover and cook for 2 1/2 hours

Keep an eye on it so that it doesn't boil over, and add water when needed to be sure there is about 1-2 centimeters of water covering roast

After 2 1/2 hours, add potatoes and carrots (and any other veggie you may want) to the pot and cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes

Add gravy to the pot and heat until gravy is slightly boiling (should only take a minute or 2)

Serve and enjoy :)
