Dredge the meat in the 1/4 cup flour, season with salt and a little
pepper if you like. Brown slowly on all sides in shortening with garlic
cloves in a heavy kettle. Watch that garlic--when it's brown lift it out!
Add vegetables, return garlic, season to taste. Add 1/2 cup water. Simmer
covered, until tender, about 3-1/2 hours. Turn the pot roast occasionally,
adding more water if needed. Remove the meat, strain vegetables, and
measure broth in pot and add enough meat stock to make 2 cups. Blend and
add the 2 tablespoons of flour and 1/4 cup cold water. Cook, stirring
constantly, until thickened.
