This is one for your #Sundayroast.
Many variations may exist and it is okay to incorporate as many as you possibly can or switch things up a little bit to your own liking. It is traditionally a family dinner meal but that is not necessarily a concern in modern times, so you can have it as a feast dinner with friends. The meal is not restricted to beef and you can try other meats such as pork or chicken. The amounts for the ingredients will vary with the number of people to be served and the budget you have set for the meal. It is generally not a very expensive meal so you should manage on a relatively medium budget. Use amounts that are safe for you, that is, those that you are usually used to and are comfortable with cooking.
Ingredients
Vegetable oil
Beef roast
Salt
Pepper (Preferably black)
Carrots (Preferably diced)
Diced onion
Diced celery
Rosemary
Butter
Instructions for preparation
Pre-heat the oven to 2750c.
In a pan that is safe for use in an oven, pour the vegetable oil and place it over medium to high heat. Season the beef using the black pepper and the salt and then place it into the boiling oil. Let it stay into the hot oil until it turns to a golden or slightly dark brown on both sides. Remove the beef and transfer it onto a plate.
Add the diced carrots, diced onions and diced celery into the pot and stir continuously until they become juicy or release their juices. This usually takes about 3 or so minutes. Add the butter and let it cook for about 5 or so minutes. To the resulting mixture, sprinkle the rosemary and stir for a while.
Place the beef roast in the mixture and cover. Place the oven - safe pan into the oven and roast until the beef is tender. That should take about 2/1/2 hours to 3 hours. Remove from the oven.
Serving
For the classic English roast, you can have the beef pot roast with a serving of vegetables, horseradish and/or mashed potatoes. Season the vegetables with salt and black pepper to taste. You may also serve the beef pot roasts with other meats, such as chicken or pork sausages as you prefer.
You can also alter the serving whichever way you prefer as long as what you serve it with does not alter the taste of the beef pot roast. Include a little wine (optional)
