So tonight I’m going to use my other chuck roast. When I bought the chuck roast expressly for the Pioneer Woman pot roast<\/a> recipe last week, I found a great buy-one-get-one-free special, so the 2nd one has just thawed and is ready for action.<\/p>\n

(NOTE: The pot roast was delicious, but I think I might have gone a bit nuts on the rosemary. That’s the only herb left that hasn’t been killed by the drought.)<\/p>\n

I’m hesitant to make the exact same recipe twice in a row, so as much as we loved the PW Pot Roast, I searched for something different. And different this will be…Jack Daniels Chuck Roast<\/a>! The roast is now marinating in my fridge and we’ll grill her up tomorrow for dinner. I can’t wait!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Bathing in my recently-cleaned fridge…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Note how I stuffed the roast into a small dish, to squish the marinade up the sides as high as it will go. Maximizes the surface area getting soaked. I should only require one flip tonight just before bed…or tomorrow morning, depending on when I remember.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Pioneer Woman I am not<\/em> when it comes to close up photography. I was trying to show the lovely marbling of my roast, but instead you’re mainly seeing plastic Ziploc bag. Oh well.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for the continuing saga of Patricia’s attempts to show the world her cooking prowess…or lack thereof.<\/p>\n
