Tips:

  • Sear the meat: Searing the meat before braising it helps to develop a rich, flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Use a Dutch oven or slow cooker: Both Dutch ovens and slow cookers are great options for braising meat. Dutch ovens can be used on the stovetop or in the oven, while slow cookers are perfect for hands-off cooking.
  • Add plenty of liquid: The liquid in the pot roast helps to tenderize the meat and create a flavorful sauce. Use enough liquid to cover the meat by at least 1 inch.
  • Simmer, don't boil: The key to tender pot roast is to simmer it over low heat. Boiling the meat will toughen it up.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to pot roast. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and turnips.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the pot roast with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
