The aroma while this is cooking is heavenly! I use my pressure cooker for this, but the recipe is the original one calling for that tried and true Dutch oven. The recipe came from one of those "America's Best" from several years ago.

Tips:

  • To make a flavorful pot roast without soy sauce, use a combination of Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. You can also add a tablespoon of dried herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
  • Sear the beef roast on all sides before slow-cooking it. This will help to brown the meat and lock in the flavor.
  • Add vegetables to the pot roast during the last hour of cooking. This will help to ensure that the vegetables are tender but not overcooked.
  • Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. You can also add a side of gravy or horseradish sauce.
