Need help thinking of a pot roast/chuck roast recipes name

[Fwismoker]

Have you ever not been able to think of a name of a recipe? :frusty:

It's something I grew up with and for the life of me can't think of the name but i can picture it clearly. It's kind of a sweet savory tender beef with a reddish sauce sauce that had carrots, onions, and chopped celery in it. It was always served with mashed potatoes and we spooned the sauce over the potatoes.

That's all i got.....OK what is it?? OH i think it starts with the letter S if that helps.

Sounds like traditional Yankee Pot Roast to me Actually I bet given your geographic location it is a variation of the Amish Schnitzel meat recipe that traditionally uses veal.
This sound close
SCHNITZEL MEAT RECIPE

* 1½ lbs. veal steak cut in cubes
* 2 tblsp. shortening
* 2 tblsp. flour
* 1 cup tomato juice
* 2 carrots, diced
* 1 small onion, chopped fine
* Salt and pepper
* Flour

Dredge meat with flour and season. Melt shortening (preferably bacon fat) and brown the meat in it. Remove meat from the pan, stir in the flour and blend. Add the tomato juice and stir well until mixture thickens. Add meat, carrots and onion. Cover closely and simmer for 45 minutes.

LOL, no kidding. I can't remember if we used round steak or beef roast....I don't think it was cubed steak.
