Preparation
- Step 1
Salt and pepper meat and rub with flour.
- Step 2
In a heavy roasting pan, saute onion and garlic in the shortening until translucent but not brown. Add meat and brown, about 15 minutes.
- Step 3
Add water, carrots, beans, tomatoes, bay leaf, Kitchen Bouquet and, if desired, more salt and pepper. Cover pot with aluminum foil and seal. Simmer over low heat on top of the stove for 20 minutes.
- Step 4
Unwrap, baste and reseal. Continue basting every 15 minutes (you may need to add water). Scrape onion and garlic from the pan as you baste and turn the roast once during cooking. Continue to cook for 2 ½ hours, until the meat falls apart.
- Step 5
Remove meat and vegetables to a serving dish, leaving pan drippings. Skim fat from the drippings and, over a low heat, add 4 to 6 tablespoons of flour, bit by bit. When the flour is brown, add one to two cups boiling water and stir until the desired consistency is reached. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve the gravy over pot roast and mashed potatoes.

This was good. Made on stove top using a Dutch oven. Meat fell apart and was quite tasty. Served with cornbread, salad, and mashed potatoes. Thinking it would be just as easy to make in crockpot or in oven.
