SLOW COOKER POT ROAST
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.

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.

INSTANT POT® VENISON POT ROAST
Venison pot roast used to be a weekend only thing for me due to the 10 hours of slow cooking it took to get it tender. Then there was the guess work of when to add the veggies. If you added them in the beginning, they became mush. If you waited too long to add them, they were underdone and to get them done, the venison got overdone. Instant Pot® to the rescue! The end result is perfectly tender venison roast and perfectly crisp-tender veggies, all in 3 hours.

PRESSURE-COOKER POT ROAST
With an Instant Pot or pressure cooker, the classic Sunday afternoon pot roast can be on the table in under two hours -- without ever turning on your oven. We seasoned this one with North African ingredients -- dates, olives, and oranges -- but remained loyal to the traditional American chuck roast, which, like other inexpensive cuts, braises well. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Pressure Cooker" (Clarkson Potter).

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good choices for pot roast. Look for a roast that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Brown the meat before braising: Browning the meat before braising helps to develop flavor and color. You can brown the meat in a skillet over medium-high heat, or in a Dutch oven or slow cooker over medium heat.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives pot roast its flavor, so it's important to use a liquid that is flavorful. Good choices include beef broth, red wine, or beer.
- Add vegetables and herbs to the pot: Vegetables and herbs add flavor and nutrition to pot roast. Common vegetables to add include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. Common herbs to add include thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
- Cook the pot roast until it is fall-apart tender: The cooking time for pot roast will vary depending on the size and toughness of the roast. Generally speaking, a 3-pound roast will cook in about 3 hours on low in a slow cooker, or in about 2 hours in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat.
Conclusion:
Pot roast is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make a pot roast that is fall-apart tender and packed with flavor. Serve it with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dishes for a delicious and satisfying meal.
