Categories     main-dish

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 3- to 5-pound chuck roast
2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil
2 whole onions, peeled and halved
6 to 8 whole carrots, unpeeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup red wine, optional
3 cups beef broth
2 or 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 or 3 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
  • Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
  • Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
  • If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
  • With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
  • Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
  • Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

EASY POT ROAST



Easy Pot Roast image

Easiest pot roast ever!! If your a beginner in the kitchen (or not) this is the pot roast recipe for you ;-)

Provided by Adam K.

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 3h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 -5 lbs chuck roast
1 (10 1/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope onion soup mix (I use beefy onion flavor)
2 medium onions, peeled and sliced thin
seasoning salt
garlic powder
pepper
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Season the roast with the dry seasonings (don't overdo).
  • Sprinkle the dry soup mix onto the meat.
  • Spread mushroom soup over the top and add onions.
  • Add water, cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake for three hours.
  • Add any desired vegetables (potatoes, carrots, etc.) during the last hour of cooking.

Tips:

- To make a flavorful pot roast, choose a tough cut of beef, such as chuck roast or rump roast. These cuts have more connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and creates a tender, juicy roast. - Brown the roast in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat before braising. This step helps develop flavor and color. - Add plenty of vegetables to the pot roast, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. These vegetables will help flavor the roast and create a rich gravy. - Use a low and slow cooking method for the pot roast. This allows the meat to cook evenly and become fall-apart tender. - Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or egg noodles.

Conclusion:

Pot roast is a classic comfort food that's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and hearty meal that's perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and flavorful dish, give pot roast a try!
