GRANDMA'S BEST POT ROAST



Grandma's Best Pot Roast image

The simplest and best pot roast recipe ever, straight from my grandma's kitchen!

Provided by Abbie Persichetti

Time 5h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (3 pound) bottom round roast
1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
1 cup water
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Trim excess fat from roast, leaving about 1/4 inch fat. Liberally season all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place roast, fat-side up, in a Dutch oven. Place onions on and around the roast.
  • Cover and bake until aromatic, about 1 1/2 hours. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake, turning the meat every 30 minutes and keeping covered, until roast is browned and cooked through, about 3 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
  • Check tenderness of roast with a fork; if not tender enough, add additional cook time in 30-minute increments until meat easily falls apart.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer roast to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk water and flour together in a small bowl.
  • Place the Dutch oven, uncovered, on the stovetop over medium heat. Smash the remaining onion pieces and stir, being careful not to let the gravy burn. Slowly add water-flour mixture, whisking until cooked through and desired thickness is achieved.
  • Slice roast and serve alongside gravy.

Provided by Samantha Jacobs

Categories     Roasts

Time 5h30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 c baby carrots
2 large onions, vidalia, peeled and quartered
5 lb chuck roast with good marbling ( fat= flavor)
3 Tbsp fresh thyme
3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 bay leaves, dried
1/2 c olive oil
2-3 c beef stock/broth
1 c red wine (I used cab)
1 pkg pot roast Crock Pot packet - whatever brand
course grained sea salt
fresh crushed black pepper
1 c all-purpose flour
BOURSIN MASHED POTATOES~~~
1 pkg Boursin cheese, 8 oz
1 c milk
1/2 stick butter, salted
3 lb red bliss potatoes
green onion

Steps:

  • 1. Take out your meat; let your meat come up to room temp. LIBERALLY season with sea salt and fresh black pepper.
  • 2. Pour some olive oil into a pan. Heat on med-high until almost smoking. Put your onion quarters in and brown on all sides (you want a nice deep golden color). When browned, remove and put in bottom of Crock Pot.
  • 3. Next add a little more oil if needed and put your carrots into the pan making sure everything gets a nice color as well. Remove when evenly browned and add to Crock Pot.
  • 4. Add the last of your oil and let it heat up. While your oil heats, dredge your beef through your flour making sure it's evenly coated.
  • 5. Sear the meat on all sides, about a minute or two, getting a GBD (Golden Brown and Delicious) color.
  • 6. Pull out your meat and lay it on top of your onions and carrots.
  • 7. Add your rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves to the Crock Pot.
  • 8. Mix your pot roast packet into your 2 cups of stock and stir until well combined then add to your Crock Pot. (The liquid should come up about halfway on the meat.)
  • 9. If there is a lot of oil left in your pan, dump some of it out. Add your red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wisk for all those little cooked on yummy bits (that's where a lot of your flavor will come from). Reduce it by about half, then add it to you Crock Pot.
  • 10. Set your Crock Pot on high and cook for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. You can leave it on low and it will keep going or, after 4 hours on high I usually turn it down and let it go another hour.
  • 11. Boursin Mashed Potatoes! In the last 45 min of cooking get a big pot of SALTY water boiling. Wash all of your potatoes well. Stab all over with a fork. DO NOT PEEL.
  • 12. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook until tender (falling off the fork when stabbed).
  • 13. Strain the potatoes really well.
  • 14. Put the milk and butter in the microwave and heat until milk is hot and butter is melted.
  • 15. Add the potatoes back to the pot and get out your electric mixer. Mix until most of the really big pieces are broken down.
  • 16. Add the milk/butter mixture a little bit at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • 17. I like these specific potatoes a little lump because they really stand up to the pot roast.
  • 18. Add 4 OZ of Boursin at the last minute and stir in while potatoes are hot. Season to taste.
  • 19. Try to separate the pot roast into manage pieces, either take it out and cut it or just separate it in the Crock Pot.
  • 20. It should be tender enough that it just falls apart to the touch.
  • 21. I serve it up with a big scoop of potaotes in the center of the plates and put pot roast and veggies and gravy right on top. Garnish with some chopped green onion if you so desire. DEEEEEEEEEEELICIOUS =)

  • Brown the beef before braising: Browning the beef adds flavor and color to the pot roast. You can do this in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to pot roast. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and parsnips.
  • Season the pot roast well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the pot roast. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Cook the pot roast slowly: Pot roast should be cooked slowly over low heat. This allows the meat to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
  • Let the pot roast rest before serving: After the pot roast is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:
