He is like a sheen from the wrong side of the tracks...

That's quite enough of that, Young Lady. No jacking up your b/p first thing.


Look at Wat sounding all bossy an' shit.


I have cats and you have a lap. Think of that.

Sounds like someone has a recipe to share???

This was real simple.

Rough cut potatoes, carrots, and onions. Use other vegetables if you like. Bring the meat to room temperature. The roast I used was a sirloin tip, about 4 lbs.

Preheat your Instant Pot using the "saute" function on high. You can also use any heavy pot, like a Dutch oven on the stove.

Put a small amount (about 1/4 cup) of flour on a plate. Mix into it whatever spices you like. I used lemon pepper, garlic, sea salt, thyme, rosemary, onion powder.

Flour the roast on all surfaces and sides.

Put some oil in the pot. I used avocado oil because it has a high smoke point. I've used EVOO in the past.

Sear the roast on all sides. Don't mess with it while it's searing. Give it a good 3-4 minutes each side to get a good sear.

Once the meat is seared, turn the Instant Pot to "manual." If you're using a pot on the stove, turn the heat to medium.

Add the beer ( I used one 12 oz can) and some stock to the pot. I use my own chicken bone broth, about 1.5 cups or so. Add some Worcestershire sauce. I just poured some in (maybe a tablespoon?).

Put the vegetables on top of the roast, put the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the steam valve to "seal." Set the timer to 30 minutes. When time is up, carefully manually release the pressure by turning the steam valve to "vent." I use a long wooden spoon for this. If you're not careful, you can get a nasty steam burn.

Remove the roast to a plate or serving plstter and the vegetables to a bowl. (I used a big slotted spoon for this.) Keep warm.

Turn the Instant Pot back to "saute" on high. Mix some cornstarch in cold water until smooth. Stir into the boiling gravy. You can also use your leftover flour for this. I recommend putting in a jar with a lid, add water, and shake vigorously until smooth. The gravy will thicken up.

Slice the roast and serve with the vegetables and gravy. A nice salad goes well with this.

To make stew out of the leftovers:
Add more stock. I took a gallon freezer bag of my chicken bone broth and added it to the gravy. Thicken if necessary. Cut up or shread the meat. Add meat and vegetables back into the pot. Season if necessary.

[Wonderer67]

Let's see it, apron boy!

Prolly be naked rather than w an apron. I don’t believe we own one.

Next week!

 

[Wonderer67]

So, do they know what it means if they see your shadow?

And Phill looks pretty huge! Are they all that big?

Phil’s probably over fed, but they are pretty large. Larger than a large cat but with short legs. Or a small dog.

Can be very destructive.

 

[Lilianna23]

Love me some ZZ Top!

 

[Lilianna23]

They can be..... yuck

I've never seen one IRL.

 

[Lilianna23]

Yeah.... we had a "friend" group of qbout 10 people.... she got to them first and poisoned them against me..... all gone in one fell swoop.... oh well....f%&> em....

She called me recently and said she would like to touch base and didn't want our friendship to die ..... I deleted and blocked her.

Stupid bitch! She killed your fiendship on your trip!

Remember what Maya Angelou said:

 

[Wonderer67]

It's great that you go to see your friend. I bet he really appreciates your visits.

Let us know what Phil says!

Sadly, he was not up for a visit today.

 

[Lilianna23]

I woke up mad..... had a dream and it pissed me off.....

Go back to sleep. Do you need me to come over and rub your back? ️

 

[Wonderer67]

Are they all that big?

….

 

[Lilianna23]

Sadly, he was not up for a visit today.

I'm sorry!

 

[Lilianna23]

….

I didn't even think about that!

 

[Wonderer67]

I woke up mad..... had a dream and it pissed me off.....

I hate that.

I get them too. Or ones that really bother me.

But it’s just a dream.

 

[Lilianna23]

Another successful catch-up. @Mittering, behold the results of my OCD!

I need to get to sleep. I have a few of you as sleep watchers and I'm past my bedtime!

Everyone have a terrific Saturday. Go out and make the weekend what you want!

Looks like I got another recipe I’ll have to add or link to when we get our own recipe thread going.

 

[Wonderer67]

I didn't even think about that!

Don’t worry. I’ll do all of the “thinking” when it comes to immature humor.

Good morning all “ up and at them” diners. Nothing special to share or complain about. I will walk the mall and then a brunch with my GF. After that, laundry and some baking.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Which reminds me, I should do laundry today and pack-n-load tomorrow.


A three-egg omelette is in my sights.

 

[Wonderer67]

Last minute stuff to do around the house and then off to western Pa. We’re picking up our friends.

 

[Missk_2022]

That's quite enough of that, Young Lady. No jacking up your b/p first thing.


Look at Wat sounding all bossy an' shit.


I have cats and you have a lap. Think of that.
