Separated Meat

BBQ Pot Roast

So this week I was feeling lazy so instead of a bunch of small meals, I would just cook a huge chunk of meat!  I decided to make a pot roast.  I looked to one of the best low carb websites: Linda’s.  Here is the recipe I roughly based it off of: http://genaw.com/lowcarb/laredo_bbq_pot_roast.html

Rough Chop OnionRough chop one regular sized yellow onion.

Slab of Beef Chuck Shoulder RoastFor this roast, I used an 8.2 lb Beef Chuck Shoulder Roast!  I salted and peppered the whole thing.

Skillet with bacon fatThe next step is going to involve searing the meat.  To do this, I put bacon grease I’d stored into the pan and heated it up.

Frying onionsFry the onions in the pan with the drippings from the searing.

Mix up the BBQ sauceMix up the BBQ sauce mixture, using low carb ingredients instead of store bought BBQ sauce.

Finished MeatPull the meat out and let it sit before separating.

Boiling SaucePour the sauce into a pan and reduce by half via boiling.

Cuisinart PSC-650 6-1/2-Quart Crockpot
Useful for set it and a forget it meals where you place all the items into the crockpot and let it rip! Most crockpots use a ceramic, dishwasher safe bowl that’s heated from the outside to a low temperature which allows the ingredients to simmer for hours.
Lodge 12-inch Cast Iron Skillet
The only pan you really need. Once properly seasoned, this pan can cook anything you can imagine! Lasts forever and never wears out.
4.8 Quart Casserole Dish
Great for cooking those gigantic, week long casseroles! I call them 5day meals on the website. Normal casserole dishes are 10×13 but this one is gigantic and can easily be divided into ten portions.
