Farm Pot Roast

Directions

Dredge the meat in the ¼ cup flour, season with salt and a little pepper if you like.

Brown slowly on all sides in shortening with garlic cloves in a heavy kettle.

Watch that garlic--when it’s brown lift it out! Add vegetables, return garlic, season to taste.

Add ½ cup water.

Simmer covered, until tender, about 3½ hours.

Turn the pot roast occasionally, adding more water if needed.

Remove the meat, strain vegetables, and measure broth in pot and add enough meat stock to make 2 cups.

Blend and add the 2 tablespoons of flour and ¼ cup cold water.

Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
