I love serving roasts for dinner mostly because I could immediately refrigerate the leftovers so they can be made into sandwiches the next day. But roasts are really perfect for lunch because they’re heavy and so flavorful with all those meat juices and gravy. This recipe combines two of the most flavorful roasts in Foodland—pork and beef.
There’s nothing like the joint flavors of beef and pork most especially if they’re tender and moist. My Mom used to combine pork and beef together too in every meat dish that she cooked and it has always led to extraordinary results.
Ingredients
2 lb Tyson beef roast
3 lb Tyson pork roast
1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into chunks (or use baby carrots)
4 stalks celery, cut into chunks
4 potatoes, washed, cut into chunks (peel if you wish)
8 oz fresh Baby Bellas mushrooms
3 medium onions, peeled, cut into chunks
1 pkg Lipton onion soup mix
1 pkg McCormick brown gravy mix
1 Tbsp Bertolli olive oil
3 Tbsp Kerrygold butter
Morton salt
McCormick pepper
Instructions
Melt butter in the olive oil in a frying pan over medium to medium-high heat.
Cut your roasts in half so you have four chunks of meat.
Salt and pepper each chunk as you wish.
When the frying pan is hot, brown the meat on all sides. Set aside.
Put your prepared vegetables in your slow cooker. Lay the browned meat on top. You DO NOT need to add water, as the meat and the vegetables create their own wonderful juice.
Cook on high for 4-6 hours. If you are going to be gone much longer, you may want to use a lower setting–use what works for your slow cooker.
When done to your liking, remove the meat and vegetables and place to a platter or bowl.
Put the onion soup mix and brown gravy mix in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the juices from the slow cooker, and warm on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, for at least one minute.
Depending on how soon you plan to eat, you may want to cook the juices a bit longer in order to hydrate the onions from the onion soup mix. If you aren’t eating right away, they will hydrate when you put them back in the slow cooker.
Return your meat and veggies to the slow cooker and pour the gravy over it.
