Pot Roast With Pepsi Or Coke Food

COLA POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
• Season the chuck roast with the Kosher salt and pepper.
• Add oil to a large pot on high heat and sear the beef on both sides, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
• Add the carrots, celery and potatoes around the pot roast.
• In a medium bowl whisk together onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup and soda then pour it over the chuck roast.
• Cover and cook for 3 - 3 1/2 hours until tender.

COLA-BRAISED POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Season the roast well on all sides with 2 teaspoons of the salt and the pepper. On a cutting board combine the remaining salt, minced garlic and rosemary and, using the side of a knife, mash against the board repeatedly to form a paste. Using a small paring knife, make thin slits into the roast on all sides, about 2 inches apart, and fill the holes with the garlic-rosemary paste. Repeat until you have used all of the paste.
• Heat a Dutch oven over high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the roast and cook until very well browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the beef stock and cola and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Add the tomato paste and stir to blend. The liquid should be about 1/2 way up the sides of the roast. Cover the Dutch oven, place in oven, and roast until the meat is fork-tender, about 3 1/2 hours, turning the meat every hour and adding extra water if necessary to keep the liquid level at about 1/3 up the sides of the roast.
• When the meat is fork-tender, remove the roast from the oven and carefully transfer the roast to a serving platter. Cover loosely to keep warm.
• Skim off as much of the fat from the surface of the cooking liquid as possible. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the fat in a small bowl and add the flour. Stir to make a smooth paste. Add 1/2 cup of the hot cooking liquid to the bowl and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk this mixture into the hot cooking liquid that remains in the Dutch oven and place over high heat on the stovetop. Cook, whisking frequently, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and any floury taste is gone. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
• Serve the roast with the hot gravy.

SLOW COOKER PEPSI POT ROAST

Steps:

• Place the roast in a slow cooker that has been sprayed lightly with cooking spray (or use a plastic slow-cooker liner) to make cleanup easier.
• Sprinkle the meat lightly with freshly ground black pepper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together onion soup mix, mushroom soup, and cola until well combined. Pour over the roast.
• Cover and cook for 8 to 10 hours on low, or about 3 to 4 hours on high.
• To make gravy, whisk together 2 tablespoons of flour with 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth. Remove the pot roast from the liquids and keep warm. Pour the flour mixture into the liquids, whisking well, and continue cooking on high in the slow cooker-or in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat-until thickened. Serve with the meat.

COLA POT ROAST II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place meat in a roasting pan. Sprinkle carrots, celery and minced garlic around roast.
• In a small bowl, combine the brown gravy mix and water, mixing into a smooth paste. Add onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup and cola-flavored carbonated beverage. Pour over the roast.
• Cover pan, and cook 1 hour in the preheated oven.
• Reduce oven temperature to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C), and continue cooking 2 hours. Remove from oven, and turn roast over so that the top is now covered with the gravy. Cover pan, and return to oven for a minimum of 2 hours.
• Remove from oven, and let meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
