Pot Roast Thrifty Buy Right Now;
Many Cuts May Be Substituted
One of the thriftiest meats you
can buy right now it pot roast.
And whether you’re on a limited
budget or not, the hearty flavor
of a pot roast is most appealing.
Savory vegetables, cooked in the
pan with the meat, will complete
the mam course.
Several cuts of beef are good
selections for pot roasting. Your
meat man may have several or all
of the following cuts displayed;
Chuck roast
Chuck steak
Rump roast, bone-in
Rump roast, boneless
Round steak (Swiss steak)
Sirloin tip
Sometimes meat cut from the
chuck also is labeled “arm-bone
pot roast” or “blade-bone pot
roast.” Price is determined by the
tenderness of the meat, the
amount of bone, and the demand
by the consumer for that parti
cular cut.
All these less-tender cuts are
best cooked by the pot-roasting
method, braising. The moist heat
of this method of cookery softens
the connective tissues and fibers.
Thorough cooking over low heat
helps to insure tenderness and
good flavor.
For your next budget dinner,
select chuck roast and cook it
with the plentiful fall vegetables,
carrots and potatoes. Here is a
standard recipe for pot roast.
