More About This Recipe
The rule of thumb in determining the number of servings is that 4 ounces of raw meat yields 3 ounces of cooked meat. However, this rule assumes that the meat is already trimmed of fat. I find that the yield will be about one half the original weight at purchase when the fat is completely trimmed from a pot roast and then cooked. To make this recipe low-sodium, be sure the stewed tomatoes do not have added salt.
This recipe was great! The whole family – including my 5 year old granddaughter who is a very picky eater – loved it. I didn’t cut this into slices. I served just the pieces of beef and used the sauce as gravy! This recipe is a keeper!!
