Beef Pot Roast With Lima Beans Recipes

POT ROAST WITH SOY OR LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat a large ovenproof skillet that can later be covered over high heat for about a minute. Add oil and, after a moment, meat. Immediately transfer to oven. Let sit there for 10 minutes, then turn and brown other side for 10 minutes.
• Remove meat from oven, and sprinkle with pepper. Add beans to pot, along with soy sauce and 1 cup water. Cover, and return to burner, adjusting heat so mixture simmers. Cook slowly, turning about every half-hour, until meat is very tender, at least 2 hours (and not unlikely 4). If heat is low enough -- just a few bubbles should appear at a time -- you will not need to add more liquid, but do so if the mixture threatens to dry out.
• When meat is done, taste, and add salt if needed; serve with beans and sauce.

ROASTED LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Place the beans and water in a large saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the beans are just soft, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat. Drain the beans and cool under running water. Drain thoroughly and spread on paper towels to dry.
• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F. Toss beans with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, lime juice and cayenne. Spread beans out on a baking sheet and place in oven. Roast until beans begin to brown slightly. Serve warm or room temperature.

Remove casserole from oven and stir carrots into cooking liquid. Return to oven and bake, covered, for 1-1/4 more hours or until meat is tender when pierced; add more water if needed. Skim and discard fat from juices. Stir lima beans into juices. Return casserole to oven and continue baking, covered, for 25 more minutes or until beans are tender.

RICK'S BEEF POT ROAST - CROCK POT

Steps:

• Mix flour with salt and pepper and dredge meat with mixture. Place pot roast and vegetables to crock. Add water to cover. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours. One-half hour before serving, a canned vegetable (green beans, lima beans, etc.) may be added if desired.
• If gravy is too thin, turn heat to high and add 2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved with 1/4 cup cool water during the last half hour. I keep a small pickle jar handy to shake the cornstarch and water together. Flour can be used in place of the cornstarch, but doesn't seem to work as well because the crockpot doesn't quite reach a good boil.
• VARIATION:.
• Add 1 can of tomatoes before adding the water.

POT ROAST, VEGETABLES, AND BEER

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven. Brown the pot roast on all sides in the hot oil; remove from pan and set aside. Cook the onion and garlic in the hot oil until they begin to soften and turn brown, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, mushrooms, and potatoes to the pot; cook and stir until they begin to color, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix the flour into the vegetables; stir continuously for 1 minute. Pour the beef stock and beer into the mixture and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Add the Bay leaf, thyme, brown sugar, mustard, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Place the pot roast atop the entire mixture. Cover pot with lid.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the meat and vegetables are completely tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
