CREOLE POT ROAST

Steps:

• Place marrow bone in a pan and cover with water. Boil for about 5 or 10 minutes, just until you see a thick layer of froth on the top. Remove the bone, pour off the water and rinse the scum off the outside. Don't worry about flavor loss. This short boil only renders out the scum. If you are using a short rib just place it on a baking sheet or skillet in a 400 degree oven until somewhat browned.
• In a large dutch oven fry the bacon until brown then set aside.
• Cut the beef into large chunks, dry off, then brown on all sides in the bacon fat. If there isn't enough fat in the pan add a tablespoon or two of vegetable oil. Remove and set aside, then pour off most of the fat.
• Put in all the sliced onions and cook over a medium heat for about 5 minutes, then stir in carrots and turnips and cook for a couple of minutes.
• Pour in the rum and stir it while boiling until it picks up the browned bacon and beef bits from the bottom.
