Time 2h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 4- to 5-pound rump roast, tied
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons peanut oil
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 cups Mexican beer
2 cups beef broth
2 ancho chilies, stems and seeds removed, chopped
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tablespoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
2 bay leaves
1 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon (or more to taste) chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, pureed
Chopped cilantro for garnish
Sliced, toasted almonds for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and season the meat with salt and pepper. In a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven with a tight lid, heat the oil over high heat and brown the meat on all sides.
  • Add the garlic, beer, broth, chilies, cinnamon sticks, oregano and bay leaves to the pot and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook for 1 hour. Add the raisins and almonds and cook for another hour, or until the meat is very tender.
  • Transfer the meat to a serving platter. Remove and discard the cinnamon sticks and bay leaves. Transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth. (You may need to do this in two batches.)
  • Return the sauce to the pot, season with chipotle and salt to taste and reheat if necessary. Pour sauce over meat and garnish with cilantro and toasted almonds. Serve immediately.

This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and the results are delicious. I love that I can just throw everything in the pot and let it cook.

This pot roast was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

This pot roast was a little bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I would use less chili powder next time.

I made this pot roast in my slow cooker and it turned out great! The meat was fall-apart tender and the sauce was thick and flavorful. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a hit with my family.

I found that the pot roast needed a little more salt and pepper. Other than that, it was a delicious and easy-to-make meal.

This pot roast was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would omit the raisins next time.
