How To Make old fashioned oven pot roast

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Trim fat from meat and sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven brown roast on all sides in hot oil over medium heat. Carefully drain fat from pan and discard. Add beef broth, onion, and celery to pan.

Step 2

Roast, covered, for 1-1/4 hours. Remove celery with slotted spoon, discard. Add desired vegetables around roast. Roast, uncovered, for 50 to 60 minutes more or until meat and vegetables are tender, spooning juices twice during roasting.
Step 3

Using a slotted spoon, remove meat and vegetables to a serving platter.
Step 4

FOR GRAVY: Measure pan juices and skim off any fat. Discard enough pan juice or add enough water to equal 1-1/2 cups. In a medium saucepan whisk together the cold water and the flour until well combined add the 1-1/2 cups pan juices.
Step 5

Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, cook and stir for 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper. Serve gravy with meat and vegetables.
