BEEF POT ROAST WITH SOUR CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• Mix 1 teaspoon of salt with pepper and garlic powder. Grocery stores sell a seasoning mixture of same, which I use 1-1/2 tsp).
• Rub generously over all sides of roast and then coat same with flour.
• On med-high in a large dutch oven, heat oil and brown roast on all sides.
• In same pot with roast, add water and vinegar (I left out) and sprinkle 1 tsp dill weed over roast.
• Cover tightly and simmer 3 hours or until meat is tender. In crockpot, cook 8 hours on low heat.
• One hour before end of cooking, add veggies and season with remaining salt & pepper. (optional zucchini, add 20 minutes before end of cooking time).
• If using crock pot, remove roast, add veggies, return roast, raise heat to med-high and cook for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, add optional zucchini the last 30 minutes.
• Serve with delicious sour cream gravy.
• SOUR CREAM GRAVY.
• Please meat and veggies on warm platter.
• Using a large skillet, transfer 2-3 tbl pan drippings from roast and heat on med-high.
• Add flour one T at a time and mix well with drippings. Heat 2 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
• Using remaining drippings in pot to make 1 cup liquid, adding water if necessary.
• Over med-high heat, whisk liquid into flour mixture a little at a time to prevent flour clots. (Add optional red wine now).
• Once all liquid is added, bring to a boil for one minute.
• Lower heat, Season with S&P to taste.
