I received a Fuji Finepix (which I love) for my birthday, and I
finally got a chance to upload some of the photos to my computer.
I took these last month, of a pot roast and veggies. It's just out
of the cast iron pan, about to go into the oven to stay warm while
I make gravy. No fancy plating, sorry, this was a casual family meal:

Nice job.

I would suggest you slice that pot roast while it's cooled off, hot
pot roast usually just shreds and falls apart into a gloppy stringy
mess. It's not necessary to serve pot raost steaming hot but if you
want to rewarm it rewarm the slices in the gravy.

Got any pics of bread slices, or a newly opened stick of butter?

Welcome to modern times! Now you can post about food.... and post

What's Filipino pot roast? Just guessing,
I'd say it's deep-fried, in lard. :-)

Whoops, Google provided the answer. You posted
the recipe only 9 years ago. How could I have
forgotten?

------- begin Googled recipe --------

I'm not one for knowing Filipino names of food, but I do make some
dishes. It's so easy to make, even my husband can make it. ;-)

Filipino pot roast

1 "seven-bone" chuck roast (I get the big ones, but you can use smaller)
2 T cider vinegar
2 T chinese style soy sauce (I use Koon Chun thin soy sauce)
3/4 C. water
1 bay leaf (this is not optional)
5 cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced in half
1 lg onion quartered
6 carrots, peeled and cut in 1/2 lengthwise and each 1/2 into thirds

The sauce is a typical not salty, not sour sort of balance. Taste til
you get it right. Add more vinegar or soy until the taste is balanced.
This should equal about 1/4 cup total. Then just fill the remainder of
the cup with water (3/4).

Place your pot roast into an oven proof pan - I use my largest (14 inch)
caste iron pan, but a roasting pan is just fine for this. Stud the meat
with garlic and pour the sauce over it all. Add the bay leaf to the
sauce, tightly cover the pan with an oven proof lid or foil and cook for
at least 2 hours at 350. Time will vary according to the size of the
roast. Take the cover off and continue cooking until the meat is almost
tender. At this point, add the vegetables and more water, if needed.

I crank my oven up to 400 to make this dish, because I watch the process
and make sure it stays moist. When the meat is cooked (a fork goes into
it easily) and the vegetables are ready, take it all out of the pan and
boil down the liquid - if necessary.

Serve with pleanty of steamed rice.
mmmmm!

Was that only 9 years ago? How time do fly! Well, you're better at
googling than I am, I probably wouldn't have found the recipe.

Thanks for reposting it!

Meat was over cooked.

Not it wasn't; it's pot roast, duh. That's not a language, that's
placeholder text. I haven't had time to change it.

No such thing as over-cooked pot roast babe. :-)

Thanks, Om! I appreciate the encouragement -- all of my other food
pictures (taken with my old Kodak Advantage) sucked. And the immediacy
of digital cameras is so cool, no more waiting for the film to get
back. We used it for Buddy's school science project the other day.
I'm getting spoiled... :-)

Agreed! I'm so glad I paid attention when my Mom taught me her
method; I only wish I could make one for her, but she passed away
several years ago.

Huh? It looked like perfect pot roast to me. It's not supposed to be

I appreciate the suggestion, Jay, but I'm not trying to be a
food photographer, just showing what I cooked. I agree about the
lighting thing, but I still haven't figured out how to get a
picture without the flash, because I still haven't RTFM. And
like I said, it wasn't plated, it was just sitting in a warming
dish. But I'll take your comments as you intended them, without,
um, malice... ;-)

It's one of those things I've never done before, so it looks like it's
going on my 'To Do' list if you can't overcook it.

Ahh, I see. I like most cuts of beef medium rare, but I've always
done pot roast until it's cooked through. Anything less and you run
the risk of serious toughness, this being a thick piece of chuck...
