How do you cook a pikes peak roast?

Answer 1

Pikes Peak rhoast is the heel of the round. It is somewhat tough but good if braised. Brown the roast and cook slowly with some liquid like a pot roast. When cooked slowly for a long period of time it can be tender and very tasty.

We always apply salt, pepper, etc., then pat with flour, brown in hot grease in cast iron skillet then put in pan lined with enough foil to wrap over the top of the roast (like you do turkey or chicken).

Put in the oven about 325-350 degrees. Cooking time depends on size (ours is usually about 5lbs ... think takes about 2 hrs). You can use meat thermometer to test when about half done, then can add fresh potatoes, carrots, more onion, celery (whatever pan will hold). Finish cooking, remove from oven, carefully open foil (steam vapors will burn), let sit few minutes. Remove either veg or roast (whichever is easier), slice and eat!

While raw, it's also good to cut up into small pieces and use for stew meat or beef tips and noodles/rice (whatever you like).
