pot roast recipe?

[jessicab]

it's getting colder, and i'm looking for a good IC-friendly pot roast recipe!

Just yesterday (because it's getting cold in the mountains of Maryland), I made a crock-pot pot roast with all-IC-friendly ingredients and it was delicious.

I started with a 2.5 pound chuck roast cut into 2-inch chunks. I put 2/3 cup of garbanzo-bean flour into a large baggie with the meat and shook it up.
Used a bit of butter to brown the meat in a skillet with some cut-up portabello mushrooms. Once everything was browned, I dumped it into the crockpot.

I then added 3 cut-up carrots, 4 sliced garlic cloves, 3 sliced celery sticks, 2 cut-up potatoes, a small cut-up yam, some raw green beans, a little oregano, and salt. Added about 1.5 cups of water. Put it on low for about 6 hours and occasionally added some water if the sauce/gravy seemed too thick. I think you could add just about anything to this recipe and it would still be delicious.

I can tolerate onions if they are cooked down, so I add onions too, I also just put it in my heavy dutch oven pot, and put in the oven for a couple hours.... I thought I would miss the worchester sauce, but didn't even notice that it was gone! I also put a couple bay leaves in, not sure if it's on the IC friendly list, but i can tolerate it.

Good Luck!

I just made pot roast this past weekend.

I take a 2.5 lb chuck roast and salt it and let it sit for an hour. I then pull out my pressure cooker, brown both side of the roast, add garlic powder and 1/4 cup of beef stock. I let that cook at 14 pounds of pressure for 40 minutes.

After 40 minutes I remove the lid, add 4 celery sticks, a lot of carrots, coarsely chopped cabbage ( I use a whole head of cabbage) , and new potatoes. Generously sprinkle kosher salt on top. I then cook that for 20 more minutes, let the pressure cooker release the pressure naturally, and then server.

My wife and I pretty much eat all the veggies the first night.
