My secret ingredient

pot roast 2

Home-made broth! I know, I know, I am just late to the game here. I am pretty new to cooking, I started learning a few years ago when I first got into paleo. I was always intimidated by the idea of making broth. I thought it would be really difficult, so I would just buy the organic, gluten-free packaged stuff.

I am dealing with some B12 anemia. Basically, I am taking in plenty of B12 (vitamin found mostly in animal products), but my body isn’t absorbing it. The practitioner I am working with recommended that I drink 2 cups of home-made broth a day.

What I quickly learned is that homemade stock is surprisingly easy to make & the flavor of the pre-packaged broths doesn’t even compare. Plus, this is not processed at all… au natural!

We normally eat prime-cuts of muscle meat, but the organs and the bones are more nutrient dense. Broths are a great way to incorporate these nutrients into your diet. If you have any gut issues, it is supposed to have some great healing effects. Plus, it just tastes SO good!

I made the best pot roast, I have made yet … all thanks to my homemade stock. I’ll include the stock recipe in a separate post.

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 lb roast (I used grass-fed chuck roast)
  • 1 cup of stock
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • 1 onion – sliced
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • dash of cayenne
  • salt & pepper
  • grass-fed butter, ghee, coconut oil, or animal fat (really whichever you prefer) – I used bacon grease because I had some left over from breakfast.

Directions:

  1. Rob roast with cayenne, cumin, garlic, salt & pepper
  2. Saute onions in grease of choice for 1-2 minutes
  3. Then, add roast & brown on all sides
  4. Move roast & onions to slow cooker
  5. Pour 1 cup of stock in to slow cooker
  6. Cook on low for 7-8 hours
