Do you want a pot roast with big, old-fashioned flavor, that does not serve eight? Then try this one that I enjoy making for husband, Art, and myself.—Marian Platt, Sequim, Washington
Ingredients:
2 beef shanks (about 1-1/2 pounds)
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided
1-1/2 cups cold water, divided
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon onion soup mix
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 large potato, peeled and cut into eighths
2 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
6 pearl onions
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Sprinkle meat with 1 tablespoon flour; place in a shallow 2-qt. baking dish. Mix 1 cup water, broth, soup mix, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and thyme; pour over meat. Cover and bake at 325° for 1-1/2 hours.
2. Turn meat; add the potato, carrots and onions. Cover; return to oven for 30-45 minutes or until meat and vegetables are tender. Remove meat and vegetables and keep warm.
3. To prepare gravy, skim fat from pan juices. Measure 1 cup of the juices and place in a small saucepan. Combine remaining flour and cold water; stir into juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with meat and vegetables. Yield: 2 servings.
