How To Make spicy pot roast

  • Step 1
    Coat roast on all sides with 1/4 c flour. Brown all sides in a Dutch oven or heavy pan in hot oil.
  • Step 2
    Add onions, garlic, beef bullion granules, celery seed, cumin, salt, pepper, tomato sauce and 1/2 c water.
  • Step 3
    Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cook over low heat until tender 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Remove meat; keep warm.
  • Step 4
    Measure pan juices; add water if necessary, to make 2 1/2 cups (we just eyeball this part. Those juices are HOT.)
  • Step 5
