Cranberry Pot Roast By Michelle Recipes

CRANBERRY POT ROAST

Steps:

• Bring the beef broth and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Stir in the cranberry sauce until dissolved. Pour the sauce into a slow cooker set to High.
• Meanwhile, season the beef roast with salt and pepper, then sprinkle evenly with the flour. Heat the vegetable oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook the roast in the hot oil until brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to the slow cooker along with the chopped onion.
• Cook until the roast easily pulls apart with a fork, about 4 hours.

• Sprinkle with onion soup mix.
• Cover tightly with lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake at 250 degrees for about 5 hours.
• If you want to add vegetables, do so the last hour or so.
• The juices can be thickened to make a gravy (use whatever method you choose).

SLOW COOKER CRANBERRY ROAST

Steps:

• Place onion soup mix in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place roast in the slow cooker, and top with cranberry sauce.
• Cover, and cook 8 hours on Low.
• Remove roast, and set aside. Set slow cooker to High. Whisk together butter and flour, and slowly mix into the liquid remaining in the slow cooker to create a thick gravy. Serve with the roast.

CRANBERRY POT ROAST

Steps:

• PREHEAT THE OVEN to 350°F.
• COMBINE THE FLOUR, salt, and pepper and thoroughly coat the roast in the seasoned flour. Over medium-high heat, heat about 1/4 inch of oil in the bottom of a heavy Dutch oven or other heavy pan large enough to hold the roast. Add the roast and brown well on all sides. Add the wine, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Cover the pan and roast in the oven until the meat is quite tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
• COOK THE CRANBERRIES while the meat is roasting. In a small pan, combine the cranberries, water, and sugar and simmer, stirring often, just until the sugar has dissolved and the berries begin to burst. Set aside.
• WHEN THE ROAST IS TENDER, remove the pan from the oven and carefully ladle out and reserve all but about 1/2 inch of the pan drippings. Pour the cranberries and their liquid over the roast and return it to the oven, uncovered, for about 30 minutes.
• MAKE THE GRAVY while the roast is finishing. Put the reserved pan drippings in a small saucepan. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and wine. Add this mixture and the beef stock to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until the sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• TRANSFER THE ROAST to a carving board and cut into thick slices. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and spoon the cranberries and remaining pan drippings over. Serve immediately, passing the gravy separately.
