@Rockhead,
Nope. No skillet and no time. Nuked the damn slices. Nevermind, tonight it's lasagne.

@Mame,
Just make sure there's extra gravy to go round.

@Mame,
The best way to cook a roast and still have great tasting meat is to cook it in a pressure cooker with some onions, carrots and potatos. Please pay proper attention to the cooking details of this utensil. Look up instructions online if necessary, because this is a high pressure cooker it can cook even faster than a oven, do not take the top off until the pressure is all removed from the pot. I know this is bleak but look it up and you will love the tender meat it produces.
BIGRED.

@bigredsshop,
A pressure cooker is om if youre cooking roadkill. Not a good cut of beef. Ya might as well just boil it.

@Mame,
I know that this does not answer the exact question, however I sear the meat(I use a good size chuck roast), and then add 2-3 cups H2O, then peeled potatoes, carrots and sliced onion for the top of the roast. Then into the oven at 350 degrees for one and a half to two hours.,(depending on the size of the roast). This delivers a nice and juicy roast with nice roasted potatoes and carrots. Also rich broth to make into a gravy. A one pot dinner. Dont forget to season the roast before searing it. I use celery seed and roasted garlic salt.

@farmerman,
perhaps just an old habit but I always sear my roasts in a skillet before putting them in the oven.
thanks for giving me this idea

@Mame,
I cook mine for an hour and 30 minutes uncovered in a toaster oven. The roasts I buy are usually peppered and then I stuff it with garlic. You add potatoes around 30 minutes into cooking (season with herbs, more garlic, butter or olive oil) and finally carrots 45 minutes before it is finished cooking.

Thanks for reviving this thread -

It reminds me of one of my favorite threads ever - a thread by Mame about her experiences as a mining camp cook. I'll try to find that and add the link to the present "what is your favorite a2k thread" thread.

@ossobuco,
It reminded me the roast I cooked last Sunday. How do you like your roast cooked?
