Preparation

• 1) Brown roast in hot oil in large Dutch oven. Pour off fat. Combine soup, water, onion, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Pour over roast.
• Add bay leaf. Cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add potatoes, carrots, and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and simmer 30 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
• Remove bay leaf. Remove pot roast and vegetables to a serving platter, reserving drippings. Cook drippings over medium heat; let simmer until slightly reduced, and serve the juices with roast.
• 2) Place the yucca into a pan and fill with enough water to cover. Stir in salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
  
• Check the yucca occasionally, not allowing it to get too soft. It should feel similar to a cooked potato. Drain, and place yucca on a plate.
• When cooled enough to handle, split in half and remove any hard fiber stands from centers.
