This Really Melts In Your Mouth

I still remember it like it was yesterday. The first time my mother-in-law came over for dinner! I was terrified and excited at the same time. Excited, because she is such a wonderful person and I couldn’t wait to see what she thought of our new home. Terrified, because she is also an excellent cook, and I didn’t want to look bad serving her a mediocre, homemade meal. Nope, it had to be something special. I turned to my husband and asked what her mother’s favorite dish was.

Of course, right then and there I realized it had been a mistake. Her favorite dish turned out to be pot roast, and I had never managed to cook it the way it’s supposed to be done. It had always turned out kind of dry, or just plain and tasteless for me.

Fortunately, I had two whole weeks to practice before her visit. I must have made pot roast 3 times during that time! But it was well worth it, since I finally ended up with this amazing recipe. The dinner was a huge success and my mother-in-law really liked this pot roast. I’m sure you will, too!

Quick Tip: Serve with garlic mashed potatoes.

Back when we were kids, whenever Mom announced that we would have roast beef, my little brother and I acted like the most behaved kids in the neighborhood. My brother would always volunteer to set the table. And I, despite my thoughts on washing the dishes, always volunteered to do that after dinner. We also didn’t make any noise and just quietly watched our Mom make the best roast beef in town. Dad would be there in the kitchen too, sitting at the head of the kitchen counter, behaving himself. Mom always knew she had us at the palm of her hands whenever she mentioned those two words. And oh boy, how she took advantage of it. She would make Dad her kitchen assistant and we would get no complaints from him. She would ask my brother and me to do chores around the house, and we wouldn’t complain. As long as we got to have seconds of her roast beef, we would do anything. That’s how much we loved it.

I will go ahead and say that I am probably biased, but Mom’s roast beef is the best roast beef I have ever tasted in my entire life. I haven’t eaten anything that could even be compared to it. But then again, every recipe of hers was linked to a childhood memory of mine, which probably made it this special.
