Sweet and Sour Pot Roast Recipe

Sweet and Sour Pot Roast Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 (4 pound) beef chuck roast
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • salt to taste
  1. Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir roast and onions in hot oil until roast is browned and onions are soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir honey, sugar, lemon juice, black pepper, cloves, and salt into pot.
  2. Bring roast mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer, turning roast every 45 minutes, until roast is tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Remove the cover and continue simmering until cooking liquid reduces, about 15 minutes more.
