A New England Pot Roast Recipe

Instructions

1. Lay a round of beef in a deep pot; pour in a cup of boiling water, add 2 slices of onion; cover, and cook slowly, allowing ten minutes to a pound.
2. Now put it in a dripping-pan, rub with butter and flour, and let it brown in a hot oven.
3. Strain the gravy left in the pan, season with salt, pepper, and a little kitchen bouquet, and thicken it with browned flour.
4. Let it boil for one minute, then pour into a gravy-boat or around the beef.
