Easy Onion Pot Roast


While i tend to make pot roast differently each time i make it, this recipe has been a frequent success. Note that, excepting the worcestershire sauce, this is a salt-free recipe.

Steps


Preheat oven to 325f degrees.
In a large casserole dish or dutch oven or roaster , spread half the onions.
Rinse roast under the tap , pat dry with paper towel , and place on onion mixture.
Cover with remaining onions and all the garlic.
Sprinkle pepper and thyme over top.
Mix together the 1 cup water and worcestershire , and pour over roast.
Cover and cook in preheated oven for 2-1 / 2 to 3 hours , or until roast is tender.
Place meat and onions on a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
If you let the roast stand for 10 to 15 minutes it will be easier to carve.
Meanwhile , add enough liquid to the pot , if necessary , so you have 2 cups.
Skim off any visible fat.
Dissolve the cornstarch in the 2 tbsp cold water.
Stir into pan juices.
Cook over medium-high heat , stirring , for about 3 minutes or until the gravy is boiling and is thickened.
Strain gravy if desired , carve roast into thin slices , and serve.
