Provided by Karina

Categories     Dinner

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 pounds (2 kg) chuck roast or blade roast, (boneless and trimmed of excess fat)
2 yellow onions (chopped)
8 cloves garlic (smashed with the back of a spoon (or 2 tablespoons minced garlic))
1 pound (500 grams) baby potatoes, white or Yukon gold, ((you may need to halve them if they are too large))
4 large carrots, (cut into 2-inch pieces)
2 stalks celery, (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons crushed bouillon
1 teaspoon salt, (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, (or to taste)
1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons plain flour ((optional -- for a thick gravy))
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley, (to serve)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet or pan over high heat. Season roast with a good amount of salt and pepper. Sear on all sides until browned (about 5-6 minutes each side). Transfer roast to the bowl of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Add the onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, celery, balsamic, mustard, brown sugar, thyme and bouillon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the stock together with the flour and pour into the slow cooker bowl (don't worry about any lumps, they will cook out).
  • Cook on low setting for 8 hours, or until meat is tender and falling apart and the vegetables are soft.
  • Taste test and add any extra balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt or pepper, if needed.
  • Slice meat, garnish with parsley and drizzle with gravy.
  • Season roast with a good amount of salt and pepper. Heat oil in the Instant Pot and set to 'Saute'. When oil is hot, sear on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes each side).
  • Add the onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, celery, balsamic, mustard, brown sugar, thyme and bouillon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the stock together with the flour and pour into the slow cooker bowl (don't worry about any lumps, they will cook out). Place lid on Instant pot with steam valve closed.
  • Change Instant Pot setting to 'manual' mode for 60 minutes on 'high' pressure.
  • When time is up and cooker beeps, turn off and allow pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, use the quick pressure lever to release any remaining pressure. Carefully remove lid and transfer roast and veggies to a warm plate.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat oil in a dutch oven or heavy based oven-proof pot over medium-high heat. Season roast all over with a good amount of salt and pepper. Sear until brown on all sides (about 4-5 minutes each side).
  • Transfer roast to a plate. Sauté onions until transparent, then add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the stock and balsamic vinegar to deglaze your pan, scraping up any browned bits. Whisk in the flour and let cook for about 4 minutes (don't worry about any lumps, they will cook out).
  • Transfer roast back into the pot. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, mustard, brown sugar, thyme and bouillon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bring to a simmer, cover with lid (or foil) and transfer to the oven. Roast for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and falling apart. (Check roast after 1 1/2 hours. If the liquid has mostly been absorbed, stir in 1 cup of extra broth and continue cooking.)
  • Transfer the roast, carrots, and potatoes to a warm plate. With a spoon, skim the fat off the surface of the cooking liquid. Cut the roast into thick slices, and serve with the vegetables. Pass the pan juices separately.

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST



Slow Cooker Pot Roast image

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 4-pound beef chuck roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 stalks celery, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 cloves garlic, mashed
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
3 cups low-sodium beef broth
3 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped

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.

SLOW COOKER ROAST



Slow Cooker Roast image

A wonderful roast beef slow cooker recipe that makes it own delicious gravy while the beef and veggies are cooking. Try also with dry onion-and-mushroom soup mix in place of the onion for added flavor. Feel free to change the vegetables to make the dish to the liking of you and your family. You can add sliced mushrooms, sliced sweet onion or pearl onions, whatever strikes your fancy. I found a good ratio is 3 cubed potatoes and about 2 handfuls of additional vegetables.

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST

It's quick and easy to assemble.

Provided by keylimeone

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Beef     Pot Roast Recipes

Time 8h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 onion, sliced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (1.2 ounce) package dry beef gravy mix
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
½ cup water, or as needed
5 whole peeled carrots

Steps:

  • Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Spread the onion slices out into the bottom of the cooker.
  • Spread the flour out onto a work surface. Sprinkle the chuck roast with salt and black pepper, and roll the roast in the flour to coat all sides. Using the edge of a small, sturdy plate, pound the flour into the meat. Place the floured roast into the cooker on top of the onions. Whisk together beef gravy mix, ranch dressing mix, and Italian dressing mix in a bowl, and whisk the mixes with water until smooth. Pour over the chuck roast. Distribute carrots around the meat.
  • Cover the cooker, set to Low, and cook until the roast is tender and the gravy has thickened, about 8 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat. For pot roast, chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are good options. For pulled pork, pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best choice.
  • Brown the meat before slow cooking. This will help to develop flavor and create a crispy crust.
  • Use a flavorful liquid. Beef broth, chicken broth, or water can be used, but adding a cup of red wine, dry white wine, or beer will add extra flavor.
  • Add vegetables to the slow cooker. Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all good choices. You can also add other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
  • Season the meat and vegetables with salt, pepper, and other spices. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin are all good choices.
  • Cook the meat on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and type of meat.
  • Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve the meat with the vegetables and gravy. You can also add a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Conclusion:

Slow cooking is a great way to cook a variety of meats and vegetables. It's a simple and convenient way to prepare a delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy. With a little planning, you can create a slow cooker meal that is both flavorful and nutritious. So next time you're looking for an easy and delicious meal, give slow cooking a try!
