Gotta Cook A Roast ...

I wouldn't recommend cooking on top of the stove other than to sear the outside.

Unfortunately, I have no other choice - I forgot to put it on last night and it's got to be cooked. :(

If you have a dutch oven, sear the roast in a bit of oil on all sides and then put it into a 350 degree oven for about an hour and a half. Check it with a meat thermometer. Once it reaches 133 degrees, it will be medium rare.

On top of the stove is not your best option, but I would recommend low and slow with a lot of liquid.

Use some wine along with your water or broth, it helps tenderize the meat.

sear with olive oil and garlic, add water and herbs to cover for cooking. Before the roast is finished add potatos, onions and carrots, if ya want to.

You can still do it in the crock pot, just sear the outside of the roast, sautee the onions, etc, and put the water/sauce in already heated. A crock pot on high should be able to do everything in 2-4 hours depending on how much you cook/heat things.

I do this all the time on top of the stove. Just use a large pot and add plenty water and your roast. Cover with a lid and get it to boiling. Then turn your fire down to where it is a slow boil for five hours adding water every hour or so. You will have the most tender roast ever.

Enjoy!
