Peggie's Pot Roast

Coat the meat with flour.

In a large pot (Dutch oven), heat shortening or bacon fat.

Heat pot first, then add shortening.

If it sizzles, temperature is right for quick browning.)

Brown meat in pan on all sides. Add water with beef bouillon cubes, halved onion, Worcestershire sauce and wine. Cover and simmer for 2 1/2 hours on low heat. About 1 hour before it is finished, peel and quarter potatoes and add to pot.
