Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good options for pot roast.
  • Sear the beef before slow-cooking it. This will help to brown the meat and develop its flavor.

  • Season the pot roast generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or thyme.
  • Cook the pot roast on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. You can also ladle the pot roast cooking liquid over the meat and vegetables.
