Slow Cooker Tuscan Pot Roast image

I love my slow cooker, and I love to make pot roasts. There are so many variations, and I think I've tried them all. However, this is one I really like, and return to again and again. I like to serve this with some garlic mashed potatoes for a fully flavorful meal.

Time 8h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/3 cup olive oil
1 (2 1/2-3 lb) bottom round pot roast
2 large onions, quartered
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced (2 cups)
2 large carrots, peeled, thinly sliced (2 cups)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine
1 (1/2 ounce) package dried mushroom (such as portobello or cremini)
kosher salt (to taste, I use about 1/2 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (28 ounce) can chopped plum tomatoes, liquid reserved

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and brown the roast on all sides. Transfer the roast to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker.
To the oil remaining in the pan, add the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables; transfer to the cooker.
Pour the wine into the pan and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits, then pour the contents of the pan into the cooker. Add the mushrooms, salt, oregano, and tomatoes (as well as about 1 cup of their liquid). Cook 8 hours on low heat, or 4 hours on high heat.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good options for pot roast. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.

Brown the beef before cooking: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to keep it moist. You can brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, or in the slow cooker on the sauté setting.

Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to cook the pot roast will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Good options include beef broth, chicken broth, red wine, or even beer.

Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs add flavor and nutrition to pot roast. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.

Cook the pot roast on low heat: Pot roast should be cooked on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until the beef is very tender. If you cook the pot roast on high heat, it will be tough and dry.

Let the pot roast rest before serving: Once the pot roast is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker Tuscan pot roast is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are perfectly cooked. Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
