Time 4h50m

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 lb pot roast
3-4 Tbsp flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
4 Tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic
1 large onion, sliced
12 whole peppercorns
5 bay leaf
12 whole allspice

  • 5. Lay meat on bed of sliced onion in large dutch oven.
  • 6. Add the butter, spices, onion soup mix and seasonings.

  • 16. When roast is done, remove to a hot round platter and surround with dumplings and carrots.
  • 17. Stir gravy until smooth.
  • 18. Pour over roast.
  • 19. If fresh dill is available, cut it over dish with lavish hand.
  • 20. *If the gravy is too thin, make a roux with the leftover flour. Stir it into boiling gravy.
