Mama's beef pot roast

Anas enjoying Mama's pot roast sampai tak hingat dunia....

Found this recipe while googling video jug today..but as usual simplified by Mama..instead of 3 hours in the pot, Mama only took 30 min to get it served on the plate. Just on time to feed hungry Papa when he got back from work last night.Here is the recipe..


Mama's Beef Pot Roast

1. Slice the beef into steak size. Season with salt and black pepper. Dip in corn or plain flour on both sides.
2. Heat a little butter/ olive oil in a pan and fry the steak slice. Flip over to brown both sides. Then put them aside.
3. In the same pan, stir fry chopped onion, add 2-3 tbs flour depending on how thick you want the gravy to be. Then add beef stock(For Mexican version, stir fry some cumin seed with the onion).
4. Place the beef and the stock in a pressure cooker and cook for 20 min or till the meat is tender. For ordinary pots, U may need 2-3 hrs slow cooking.
5. Add cubed carrots, celery and parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste. Can add some thyme and rosemary as well. For Mexican version, add tomato paste and black beans.
6. Serve on a bed of mashed potatoes with steamed veges. Nice to be eaten with garlic bread.
