Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds bottom round roast
kosher salt to taste

1 bulb fennel - cored, sliced, and fronds reserved
3 cloves garlic
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot roast, and it turned out delicious. The meat was also very tender and flavorful.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pot roast turned out dry and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and onion, and it was much better. The meat was also a bit tough, so I cooked it for an extra hour.

This pot roast was a disappointment. The meat was tough and the vegetables were undercooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
