scandinavian pot roast
(4 ratings)
There are variations of this recipe, but this is a great starting point, and you can make adjustments to suit your taste preferences, if your like. Some variations call for white wine in place of beer. Another variation uses water instead of beer and then adds white wine vinegar in place of the cider vinegar. You can add a pound of baby carrots and about 1 1/2 pounds baby red potatoes to the roasting pan, and in the end you'll have some tender roasted vegetables to serve alongside the beef roast. And the pan sauce goes great over roasted potatoes, too.
