Schmorbraten
Braised Pot Roast
in Beer


Pot Roast Braised in Beer

Schmor means braised in German. This is a nice Winter dish, that can be done in a large Pot like a Dutch Oven or a Crock Pot.

1. Season the roast with salt and pepper and brown in a skillet or Dutch oven with a little vegetable oil.

2. If you are going to cook it in a crock pot transfer now. Deglaze the skillet with a little beer and add.

 

If you are going to cook in a Dutch Oven add the rest of the beer.

Add the beer to the crock pot after you transfer the roast.

Add the Spices

 

Add the vegetables, bring to a simmer in the Dutch oven or turn the crock pot on high.

Add the Potatoes and onion quarters. SImmer for 3 to 6 hours until the roast reaches 200 degrees F. You can also test it by sticking a fork into it. lift it and if it falls easily off the fork it is done.

I like to grate fresh horseradish to serve with this.

Dish a nice slice of the roast in a bowl, and some of the vegetables. I serve this in a bowl with the juice,
and put the horseradish on the side of the bowl.
