Cup of Yum
How to make the pot roast gravy:
- Mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cold water. Whisk together until blended completely.
- Remove 2 cups of beef broth from the crock pot. Heat to boil in a sauce pan.
- Whisk in the cornstarch water mixture and allow it to boil (while stirring constantly) until thickens slightly. Should take about 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately over the shredded beef.
Notes
- Cooking on low for 10 hours is preferred for optimal tenderness, though cooking on high for 5 hours is an option.
- Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Mix cornstarch and cold water thoroughly before adding to boiling broth to prevent lumps in the gravy.
