"Simple pot roast for home cooked flavor that your family will love. Au Jus turns into gravy for your potatoes...."
INGREDIENTS
•
Salt and Pepper
•
A 3-5 lb pot roast (for these pictures – I used a sirloin roast- but really – any cut of beef roast will work)
•
2-3 tbs olive oil
•
2 whole onions cut in half
•
8 whole carrots cut in half lengthwise
•
1 ½ cups wine (red is recommended but white works too – any that you would drink yourself – don’t’ ever cook with wine you wouldn’t drink – your food doesn’t want to drink it if you don’t’!)
•
About 3 Cups of Beef broth (if you can make your own – that’s optimal – we will cover that in a later post – but store bought is fine.)
•
3 sprigs of Rosemary
•
3 sprigs of Thyme (tie together with the rosemary with some kitchen string)
•
6 cloves of garlic (yes 6! – smash them!)
•
1 Bay leaf
•
1 tsp of raw sugar
•
Liquid from the roast/vegetables noted above.
•
1 capful of Kitchen Bouquet
•
4 Tbs Heavy Cream or milk
•
Salt and pepper to taste

2 heaping TBS of flour
