Used a chuck roast that I paid a lot of money for. I guess I should take it up with the store. My guests ate it anyway and thought the flavor was good. I popped it in pressure cooker for 30 mins. That helped slightly. Will try it again and buy my meat at another store😀Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015642512286126041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499132119116036776.post-53266377217411378552016-10-18T15:04:36.203-07:002016-10-18T15:04:36.203-07:00I tried the gravy this way, heating the broth on t...I tried the gravy this way, heating the broth on the stove, in the pan I browned the meat and sauteed the veggies in, and then mixing in the cornstarch. When the cornstarch was thoroughly mixed, I poured it over meat and veggies and cooked all day in crock pot, but it didnt make gravy. So, my suggestion is if you want a nice thick gravy, follow the original recipe instructions. :) However the roast was fabulous! The only thing I did differently was grind up a pinch of fennel and a pinch or caraway seed in my mortar and pestle and added it to the herb mixture (about 1/2 tsp each). Yum! The only thing I will do differently in the future (besides making the gravy at the end) is using less olive oil. I used a tad too much. But it was still super yum!!K Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463934941567122658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499132119116036776.post-10183491594428728392016-09-26T10:47:10.046-07:002016-09-26T10:47:10.046-07:00Can I substitute the beef for a pork roast?

I would not have used yet another cooking step, just maybe added an envelope of mushroom gravy mix after I turned up the heat and got the broth boiling. I will do this now since I have to do it anyway for the meat and the vegetables. I usually stop reading a crock pot recipe as soon as I see "in a frying pan". If I have to use a frying pan I'll just cook the whole thing in the frying pan. But I'll give this a try once.JoAnn Dibelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456358817599350215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499132119116036776.post-34474947789722558632016-06-20T15:15:12.406-07:002016-06-20T15:15:12.406-07:00Made this for dinner tonight...roast definitely me...Made this for dinner tonight...roast definitely melts in your mouth.
