Watch The Pioneer Woman’s Ree Drummond crack the code to making the perfect pot roast. The meat in this dish is so tender it falls off right off the bone. To make this dish follow these steps.
1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
2. Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
3. Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
4. Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
5. If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
6. With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
7. Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
8. Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.
Sandra Lee says all good Southern food starts with bacon, and her Greatest Shrimp and Grits Ever is no exception. She sautes half an onion with three chopped-up slices of bacon. To save money, Sandra recommends buying frozen shrimp instead of fresh. She adds the cleaned shrimp to the saucepan, adds salt and pepper, and gives it a good stir. Next she adds a generous helping of salt and one cup of instant grits to four boiling cups of water. She recommends whisking the water before adding the grits to keep them from clumping up. Turning her attention back to the shrimp, she adds one tablespoon of lemon juice, two teaspoons of hot sauce, one tablespoon of butter and a bit of parsley. For truly Southern grits, Sandra adds a quarter cup of mayonnaise and whisks it in. It’s time to dish up some shrimp and grits.
