Provided by Joanna Cismaru

Categories     Main Course

Time 10h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 pound chuck roast (boneless and excess fat trimmed)
2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 pound potatoes (such as Yukon Gold or Russet, peeled and cut in cubes)
1 pound carrots (peeled and roughly chopped)
2 large onions (peeled and quartered)
5 cloves garlic (peeled and smashed)
3 cups beef broth (low sodium or no sodium added)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs rosemary
2 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to rub in the salt and pepper in all the cracks and crevasses, to ensure maximum flavor.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chuck roast to the skillet and sear on all sides until brown. About 4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the pot roast to the insert of your slow cooker.
  • Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and herbs to the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the roast is tender.
  • Transfer the pot roast to a platter and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • Discard the herbs from the slow cooker. Use a spoon to skim any visible fat from the surface of the liquid.
  • Whisk the cornstarch with the water and add to the slow cooker. Stir everything together and cook on high for 20 minutes or so until the sauce thickens up a bit. Add more cornstarch if you're looking for more of a thicker gravy.
  • Slice the beef or shred it with a couple forks. Serve the beef with the potatoes and carrots and drizzle with gravy.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to rub in the salt and pepper in all the cracks and crevasses, to ensure maximum flavor.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chuck roast to the Dutch oven and sear on all sides until brown; about 4 minutes per side.
  • Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and herbs to the Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer, cover with lid and transfer to the preheated oven.
  • Roast for 3 to 4 hours until the meat starts to fall apart. Transfer the pot roast to a platter and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • Whisk the cornstarch with the water and add to Dutch oven. Stir everything together and cook on high for 5 minutes or so until the sauce thickens up a bit. Add more cornstarch if you're looking for more of a thicker gravy.
  • Slice the beef or shred it with a couple forks. Serve the beef with the potatoes and carrots and drizzle with gravy.
  • Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to rub in the salt and pepper in all the cracks and crevasses, to ensure maximum flavor.
  • Turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting. (See your manufacturer's guide for detailed instructions on how to use your instant pot). Add the olive oil and wait for the oil to heat.
  • Add the chuck roast to the Instant Pot and sear the meat on all sides. About 4 minutes per side.
  • Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and herbs to the Instant Pot. Close the lid (follow the manufacturer's guide for instructions on how to close the instant pot lid). Set the Instant Pot to the Manual setting and set the timer to 80 minutes on high pressure.
  • Once the Instant Pot cycle is complete, wait until the natural release cycle is complete, should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release, if in a rush. Carefully unlock and remove the lid from the instant pot. Transfer the pot roast to a serving platter, and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Turn the Instant Pot to the high saute setting. Whisk the cornstarch with the water and add to the Instant Pot. Stir and cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens a bit.
  • Slice the beef or shred it with a couple forks. Serve the beef with the potatoes and carrots and drizzle with gravy.

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST



Slow Cooker Pot Roast image

Taking the time to make a smooth, thick gravy for this slow-cooked dinner is worth it. As the pot roast cooks, the water and juices from the vegetables and meat will thin the gravy out, creating just the right consistency.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 4-pound beef chuck roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 stalks celery, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 cloves garlic, mashed
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
3 cups low-sodium beef broth
3 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the roast all over with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer the roast to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker, along with the carrots, celery, onions and garlic.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, allspice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking, until the gravy is smooth and thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour the gravy into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The roast and vegetables should be tender.
  • Remove the roast and let rest for a few minutes. Discard the thyme stems and strain the vegetables, reserving the gravy. Toss the vegetables with half the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Stir the remaining parsley into the gravy and season with salt and pepper. Slice the roast against the grain. Serve the meat and vegetables on a platter, moistening them with some of the gravy; serve the remaining gravy on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or rump roast are ideal for pot roast, as they are tough cuts that become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the beef before cooking: Browning the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat adds flavor and color to the pot roast.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, turnips, or parsnips.
  • Season the pot roast well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the pot roast.
  • Cook the pot roast on low heat: Cooking the pot roast on low heat for 8-10 hours allows the meat to become tender and fall apart.
  • Thicken the sauce: If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (a mixture of cornstarch and water) to the pot roast during the last hour of cooking.

Conclusion:

This crock pot pot roast is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. Serve this pot roast with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
