A recipe from our early archives! Originally published May 2008! 

The weather is not exactly cooperating for outdoor grilling here in St. John's these days, so this is one way of getting my barbecue fix.

This is a beef pot roast that is braised in my own Molasses Barbecue Sauce. It's shown here served on grilled slices of country loaf from Georgestown Bakery here in St. John's.

It also serves well with mashed potatoes and roasted corn as a very flavourful supper meal.

The recipe for the BBQ sauce can be found here. We sometimes mix it with honey as a dip for fried chicken wings too!

No Ratings

Ingredients

  • 3 lb beef pot roast, blade or cross rib cuts work well
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 cups molasses barbecue sauce (link to that recipe in notes.)
  • 1 ½ cups low sodium homemade beef stock
  • salt and pepper to season

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed skillet.
  2. Season the meat with salt and pepper and brown the pot roast on all sides in the skillet.
  3. Move the pot roast to a small roasting pan or dutch oven.
  4. Add all the remaining ingredients to the skillet to deglaze the pan and create the braising liquid.
  5. Next, pour the braising liquid over the beef in the roasting pan.
  6. Cover and roast in a 325 degree F oven for 2 ½ -3 hours until the meat is fully cooked, tender and falls apart easily.
  7. Remove the beef from the pan and reduce the braising liquid to a barbecue sauce consistency.
  8. You can puree the sauce using an immersion blender or in a blender for a smoother consistency.
  9. When the sauce is reduced enough, pull the beef into small pieces and add it back to the sauce so that it is thoroughly coated.
  10. Serve on toasted crusty bread with cheddar cheese if you like.
