My Christmas Pot Roast
- 1 whole Roast (4 To 6 Lbs- The Type Used For Pot Roast)
- 1 bottle Worcestershire Sauce (16 Oz Size)
- 1 bottle Soy Sauce (15 Oz Size)
- 10 cloves Garlic, Peeled And Trimmed, But Left Whole
- 8 Tablespoons Ground Ginger
- 4 Tablespoons Celery Seeds (optional)
- 4 Tablespoons Dry Mustard
- 1 cup Water
- 2 pounds Baby Carrots
- 2 whole Large Onions, Sliced
- 2 cups Red Wine (I Used Chianti, As That Was What Was Available On Christmas Day)
- 1 bag Red Potatoes, Cleaned (I Used A 5 Lb Bag)
- In a glass or plastic dish, pour up to half a bottle of soy sauce and half a bottle of Worcestershire sauce, to ensure the bottom is covered.
- Rinse roast thoroughly.
- With a very sharp knife, cut holes in both sides and insert the whole garlic cloves, half on each side of the roast.
- Place the roast in the marinade.
- In the garlic-filled holes, add a dash of the soy sauce and ginger.
- Liberally sprinkle the roast with half of the ginger, celery seeds, and dry mustard.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for several hours.
- Remove, and flip the roast in the marinade, and repeat the above steps, starting with filling the garlic holes (this replicates an injector) and the spices.
- Marinate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees (I have to set my oven at least 25 degrees higher than a recipe calls for in order for it to cook properly, so adjust the temperature if needed).
- Remove the roast from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Add the water and the vegetables to the roasting pan.
- Pour the red wine over the roast, into the pan.
- Cover with foil and cook for a minimum of two hours, depending upon how well-done you like the meat (we are a well-done family, so I cooked mine for 2.5 hours for a six-pound roast).
- Remove and let rest before carving.
- Depending upon the length of the marination, and how you like the roast cooked, the roast should be easy to slice, and may even shred as in a pulled pork recipe.
