Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Pour a sufficient amount of oil to cover the bottom of a large non-stick pan, heat on high.
  2. Lightly dust your roast with seasoned flour and sear meat until well browned on both sides. Remove meat and pour off oil.

  4. At 1 hour, add remaining vegetables to baking bag and cook for 1 1/2 hours more or until tender.
