Marinated Pot Roast

SUBMITTED BY: Marijane Rea

"I've long used whole or ground cloves as my secret ingredient in cooking and baking. Added to an overnight marinade, they provide the gravy in this meaty main dish with great flavor. --Marijane Rea of Milwaukie, Oregon"

This is an excellent recipe. It was so flavorful and the meat just fell apart.

This was disappointing because I thought using the Crock Pot would make a very tender roast. (Does lean, grass-fed beef result in a dryer roast?) Ours was dry and the gravy was easy to make but too salty, even with the low-sodium soy sauce.

I loved this recipe! I used a 10# pot roast and basically doubled ingrediants cooked for 10 hrs in the crock pot. Our guest all wanted the recipe and since then I have had it at their houses also. Always great!!!
