By froggyess

this can be done on the stove or slow cooker

Ingredients

• 3-4 pound roast
• 2 parts water*
• 1 part white vinegar*
• 1 onion chopped
• 2-3 Tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp ground cloves
• 1-2 bay leaves
• 2-3 cloves garlic
• salt & pepper
• flour (to make gravy)
• ie: 2 cups water to 1 cup vinegar - increase both within this same ratio if you want more gravy, and add a bit more ketchup / garlic.

Preparation

Step 1

salt and pepper meat liberally, coat with flour and sear in large pot or dutch oven in a bit of olive oil

add water and vinegar

add other ingredients (except flour)

Bring to boil, reduce temp to low and simmer for about 3 hrs

Take meat out, add flour and bring to a boil till gravy is desired consistency. (To avoid lumps you can substitute flour with 2 - 3 T of cornstarch mixed with 1/4 C cold water to make a slurry)
