It’s pot roast season. Who is with us?
Roast and Gravy has been one of Nicole Johnson’s favorite comfort food recipes from OrWhateverYouDo.com for as long as she can remember.
“Nothing beats homemade gravy, so stack that mashed potato and scoop it up,” Johnson says. She notes that she makes this recipe on an outdoor pellet grill (pellet smoker), but that it can easily be made in the oven using the same instructions.
“My favorite thing about this dish is that it’s almost hands-free, but tastes like you spend all day on the stove,” adds Johnson.

Directions:
- Place the oil in the bottom of your cast iron pan, if using it, and set the burner to medium-high heat. Preheat your grill to 275 ° F.
- Season the piece of beef well with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic salt and seasoned salt.
- Place the roast in the cast iron skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
- Gently flip the roast onto the other side and brown that side well for another 4 to 5 minutes.
- Place the roast in the pan in which it will cook. Place the minced onion, carrots, beef broth and red wine in the pan with the roast.
- Bake at 275 ° F for 2-3 hours, then increase the heat to 325 ° F until your roast reaches an internal temperature of 200 ° F (use a cooking thermometer) and is fork-tender. How long this will take depends on the size of your roast, grill, and what phase the moon is in. Note: Cook at temperature, NOT by the hour.
- When the roast is finished, remove it from the grill. Carefully remove the roast and vegetables from the pan and set them aside, well covered.
- Filter or remove most of the fat from the drip (a grease tool works so well for this), then bring the rest of the drip to a boil. You need 3 cups of liquid, so if you need to add more beef broth, be prepared to do so.
- Combine cornstarch and cold water. Stir into sauce mixture and reduce heat to low, stirring until thickened.
- Serve with your favorite roasted or mashed potatoes, crusty bread and corn.
