When I began the elimination diet journey there were two things that concerned me: What would I fix for home dinners? And, What would I be able to eat out? I'd be lying if I told you that it's been easy to prepare meals that fit within the diet, but I have stumbled on a couple good ones, tonight it was a beef roast in the crock pot.
I was unsure of how a pot roast would turn out without any flour or cornstarch, but I figured I'd give it a shot and it turned out great :) I used:
1 (2lb) Chuck roast
A lot of salt and pepper - Did you expect me to measure it???
A spray of canola oil
1/2 of one large onion (although I probably should have left this out to truly fit the elimination diet)
2 large carrots cut in 1 in pieces
1 C of ham stock (it's what I had in the freezer - give me a break!)
1 can of chicken broth (again, what I had on hand)
{I served it over a reheated baked potato that I already had made. (I have started baking a bunch of potatoes and reheating them 1 serving at a time).}
The roast started with a salt and pepper massage before being seared in a hot pan with a spray of canola oil. The onion, cut into medium size wedges, joined the meat for some caramelization; and then the meat, onions, and carrots hopped in the crock pot for a hot bath. The broth and stock deglazed the pan before being poured over everything, and the waiting began. I cooked it on high for about 5 hours, but I imagine it would have been even better on low for 8-9 hours.
