So, it's a weird thought. I know. But give it a try. It doesn't smell like a true pot roast made by mom, but it tastes delicious!
Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) can cola drink
1 medium onion, chopped
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 (3 -4 lb) boneless chuck roast, trimmed
1 teaspoon ground pepper
8 carrots, diagonally sliced (about 1 1/2 lb.)
7 yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into eighths (3 lb.)
2 large onions, cut into eighths
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Directions:
1. 1. Combine cola, next 4 ingredients, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag. Add roast, turning to coat. Seal and chill at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. Remove roast from marinade, reserving marinade. Sprinkle roast evenly with pepper.
2. 2. Brown roast 4 minutes on each side in remaining 1 tablespoons hot oil in a large heavy-duty roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add reserved marinade, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of pan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
3. 3. Bake at 300° for 2 1/2 hours. Turn roast, and stir in carrots, potatoes, and onions. Bake 2 more hours or until roast and vegetables are tender. Transfer roast and vegetables to a serving platter. Skim fat from juices in roasting pan.
4. 4. Whisk together cornstarch and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk cornstarch mixture into juices in pan; cook over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until thickened, whisking to loosen particles.
5. 5. Drizzle 1/2 cup gravy over roast. Serve remaining gravy with meat and vegetables.
