Old-Fashioned Beef Pot Roast

We loved this. It made a lovely tender, moist but sliceable pot roast. Didn't have parsnips so put in a few more carrots and omitted the brandy. We have hot beef sandwich's, another dinner and a lunch ahead of us from this one roast. YAY :D

Very good recipe. I liked this allot. Parsnips aren't something I've ever used before, but due to this recipe they'll be getting more attention in my kitchen. They were a little hard to find being early spring (took 3 stores) but was very worth the extra effort. The meat was tender, but not falling apart, and very flavorful. Made gravy out of the drippings and stock. was a great compliment to the meal. made for 1-2-3 tag.

It can't get much easier than this recipe Pat. I did have to omit the parsnips as they are not in season here and we are too rural for them to ship in I guess. The only other little change was I subbed apple juice for the brandy. The meat had a different texture than I'm used to (I don't know if it is the way the vinegar reacts to it) but it was still yummy in the end. I love being able to cook the veggies with the meat. Thanks for sharing this in Potluck Tag. :)

Oh Pat.....how I absolutely loved this recipe. I have found a new fond veggie "parsnips" me and my girls loved it. Yes it is the first time I have had parsnips "this is why I love this site, I am always trying new things :)" and it was yummy. Loved the sweetness of the parsnip, but yet it had that carrot flavor. I didn't use the 250 ml of apple cider vinegar I used 1/2 and I also used vodka instead of brandy. Yum! This is going right into my favorites :) Made for Everyday Is A Holiday Tag Game.

I found this recipe easy (though it takes a while) and I got mixed reactions to the outcome. Half the family loved it and the others thought the meat seemed to be boiled. Although the next day it was great on sandwhiches! I liked it and I am not a big meat eater, although next time I think I would leave out the vegetables (I didnt use the parsnips) and roast them instead. But apart from that I found the flavours really nice, and the meat was really tender. I have never made Pot Roast before, and this was a really easy recipe to follow. Thanks Pat.
