  • Let the meat rest for 15 minutes before serving it.

Notes

The best cut of meat for this recipe is a chuck roast because it is a tougher cut with a lot of connective tissue. Check the sweet potatoes about an hour or two before it is supposed to be done. If they start to get too soft, remove them and store them in the fridge until the rest of the food is finished. Add a cornstarch slurry to thicken the gravy if desired.
