Pot Roast in the Electric Frying Pan

Salt roast 1/2-1 hour before cooking.    Rub with mustard, nutmeg, pepper, garlic salt.  Heat 1-2 T. oil in electric frying pan to shimmering or almost smoking.  Sear  in hot oil on all sides.  Mix  6 Tbs. of Brown Gravy Mix (2 pkgs) with 2-3 cups cold water.  Pour gravy over the roast and cook on low for one hour.  Add large bowl full of veggies (carrots, potatoes, onions) cut in large chunks.  Carefully turn veggies around the roast so they are coated with the gravy.  Replace the lid and cook for one more hour until vegetables are tender.  Stir veggies occasionally, monitoring the temperature.
