Above: Colder Days, Means Cooking Comfort Food
It's an easy meal, and fairly cheap, too... a simple Chuck Roast will do, and that's relatively inexpensive. I start out with coating the 4 pound (abt 1.8kilo) Chuck in flour
Below: My Vegetable Medley, diced
I sear the Roast on all sides, in the cast iron Dutch Oven. After searing, I remove the roast, and prep the pot for Brazing. Add olive oil, and add the Diced Onion, Celery, and Carrot, let those soften some. Once the vegetable are softened, about 5 minutes or so, I add in some beef broth, and put the roast back into the Dutch Oven. Make sure the liquid covers about half of the roast.
Put the Roast and Pot into the oven for about 2 hours at 350ºF (175ºC)
After 2 hours, remove the roast, and strain any of the vegetables out of the Dutch Oven. Add some Corn Starch, to thicken the liquid into a nice gravy.

Served up, Pot Roast, Roasted Vegetables, and Gravy
And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.

I made those dumplings! One of your posts prompted me, at least, I felt like it. Reading about your process and homesteading inspires more self-sufficiency in me. I think I just need to create a framework on how I can do it.
For me, self-sufficiency has meant walking places, or biking, if possible. I just know I can expand on that. I think it might be to, cut some fast food out and cook more. Perhaps recycle old clothes a bit better, too. I bought an old bike Friday in the hopes of refurbishing it, so I’ll update on that soon.
very cool. and there's tons of community garden plots, nearby in local neighborhoods. I know a ton of Boston areas have them... look into it in the spring. Maybe start planting some of your own food!
Looks delicious. We do something similar a lot. When the kids were little and the house was chaos, we started doing chuck roast in a crock pot. Just throw everything in and then you can get on with your day and have a nice warm meal when everyone returns home. Not quite as perfect as doing one proper but still good.
I've done the crock pot, too, when time is challenging. but I had the time for this one, so might as well, spend it. The crock pot, truly does us bail out on those days!
Se ve delicioso eso, donde vivo es algo complicado, resulta que eso saldría bastante caro aquí y los ingredientes difíciles de conseguir o a costos elevados, la carne sería un desafío, Un saludo me gustó mucho el post.
Yay! 🤗
