I have a 2.6 pound chuck roast, beef chuck. Only I have a few dilemmas. First of all my boyfriend and I are just starting our official life living together so we have NO pots or pans. We literally have, a skillet with a lid, 3 cake pans (circle) and one cake pan rectangular. That's my first dilemma. My second one is after deciding which of my 5 pans will be best to cook it in, how do I cook it? I would really like to have some potatoes surrounding it to soak up the beef juices to be turned into mashed potatoes later. Can anyone help me? I feel like a lost cause!
