Default Life alteringly good way to cook a roast or tough piece of meat.

Try this, it will make you smile! The smell alone will draw people in off the street.

The secret is in the dutch oven and keeping it simple. Any piece of meat from any animal works with this recipe(lean or fatty), and its simple simple simple.

Line the bottom of your dutch oven with about 1 inch of sliced onions and at least 8 pieces of garlic. Place your meat in the center of the pot on top of the onions. Surround the meat with cut pieces of potato until they are about half way up the roast, toss in a few cloves of garlic. Put cut carrots on top of the potato until they reach the top of the roast, add a few more pieces of garlic and some chopped celery. Add a little salt and pepper and a few slices of onion to the top of the whole thing. Now pour in a bottle (or more) of GOOD FLAVORFULL beer. You want the beer to come about 1/3 up the roast, so if your using a large dutch oven, you may need to add more. Now add a cup and a half of red wine.

Place the lid on the dutch oven and put it in your conventional oven at 350 degrees. Let it cook 3-4 hours. At least once every 45 minutes pull it out of the oven and use a turkey baster to baste the veggies and meat with the wonderfull juices that are being created. The onions liquify and the garlic dissolves into the alcohol. The potatos and carrots absorb the flavor of the juice, I cant tell you how good they taste.

Once cooked, pull the meat out, it will have shrunk considerably, and there will be no fat left on the meat. Slice it up for serving

Place the carrots and onions together in a large bowl.

There should be a good bit of liquid left in the dutch oven once all the food is out. This must absolutely be saved and served on top of the meat and veggies, its too good not to use. Stir in a bit of flour if you want to thicken it up.

N.B. - When you get close to being finished cooking the dish, should you notice that there is not a lot of liquid left in the dutch oven (Evaporates), add a mixture of beer and wine to ensure that theres enough liquid to make a good amount of gravy. Once the liquid is added, let it sit for at least 45mins so it mixes well with whats in the pot. Theres no need to put it back in the heat, the dutch oven will keep it all plenty hot.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!
