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 POT ROAST

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 4- to 5-pound beef chuck roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 yellow onions, thickly sliced lengthwise
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
3 sprigs fresh parsley
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 dried bay leaves
2 stalks celery, sliced

Steps:

  • Pat the beef dry with paper towels and sprinkle well on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat (or if your slow cooker has a browning feature, preheat it). Sear the meat on all sides until browned, then transfer to a plate.
  • Add the garlic and onions to the pan or slow cooker and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the red wine and cook, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. If searing in a skillet, transfer the contents of the pan to a slow cooker set on low heat.
  • Nestle the beef into the onions and add the broth, wine, Worcestershire, carrots, parsley, thyme, bay leaves and celery, and stir well to combine. Cover and cook until the meat is fork-tender, about 8 hours.
  • Remove the roast from the slow cooker and cover to keep warm. Strain the cooking liquid into a large saucepan, and simmer over medium-low heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. (You can also puree some of the carrots and onions in a food processor and add it to the cooking liquid to thicken it.)
  • Slice the pot roast, ladle the gravy over it, and serve.

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST



Slow Cooker Pot Roast image

A hunk of beef slowly braised in red wine, herbs and garlic makes for a classic pot roast that's also easily customizable: Add the root vegetables and herbs you like best. The tough chuck roast needs about eight (or more) hours in a slow cooker to become fork tender, but the vegetables are better with a shorter cook time, so add them about four hours after the start. (If this is impossible because you'll be gone all day, you can add the vegetables in the morning; just make sure you cut them into large chunks and know that the vegetables will be quite soft.) Optional quick-pickled onions add welcome bright flavor and make this simple dish feel special.

Provided by Sarah DiGregorio

Categories     dinner, meat, roasts, main course

Time 8h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 3 chunks
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
7 ounces frozen pearl onions (or 1 yellow or red onion, peeled and cut into wedges)
6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
5 fresh woody herb sprigs, such as thyme, sage or rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme, sage or rosemary)
1 to 1 1/2 pounds peeled root vegetables, such as a mix of carrots and parsnips, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (optional)
2 tablespoons flour (optional)
1 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
7 ounces frozen pearl onions (or 1 yellow or red onion, peeled and thinly sliced)
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Season the beef generously all over with about 1 heaping tablespoon salt. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add one chunk of the beef and sear on one side, undisturbed, until deeply browned, 5 minutes. Using tongs, remove the first chunk and place it in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Repeat with the second and third pieces, searing one side and then placing the beef in the slow cooker. (You can certainly brown more than one side of each chunk, but one side is enough to build flavor without spending too much time on this step.)
  • Add the pearl onions and garlic to the skillet. Season lightly with salt and generously with pepper and cook, stirring, until just softened, 3 minutes. Pour in the red wine, vinegar and 1/2 cup water. Scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon or spatula and let the mixture come to a bubble. Tip the mixture into the slow cooker, and add the herbs. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
  • Make the pickled onions, if desired: Bring the vinegar and the sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over high. Add the pearl onions and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, to dissolve the sugar and warm the onions through, about 1 minute, then remove from heat. Set aside at room temperature to pickle until ready to serve, at least 1 hour. (Ideally, make the pickled onions in the morning, when you prep the dish. You could even make them up to 5 days ahead and store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator.)
  • Uncover the slow cooker, flip the pieces of beef with tongs, and add the root vegetables, pushing them under the liquid. Cover and cook on low until the beef and vegetables are both very tender, an additional 4 to 5 hours. Check to see if the meat is tender by testing it with a fork; it should be juicy and flavorful, and pull apart easily. If the meat is not yet tender, cover and cook another 1 to 2 hours. (The amount of time can depend upon the leanness or fattiness of your cut, or how hot your slow cooker runs.) Using tongs and a slotted spoon, remove the beef and vegetables to a serving platter. Break the beef into large chunks to serve. Drizzle some cooking liquid over the top of the beef and vegetables, and top with drained pickled onions to serve. Discard the remaining cooking liquid or strain it, refrigerate it, discard the fat and freeze the remaining liquid as beef stock.
  • If you'd prefer a thicker gravy, strain the cooking liquid into a medium pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, combine the butter and flour in a small bowl and knead it together with your fingers until it is uniform, almost like a dough. Once the liquid is boiling, drop the butter-flour mixture into the pot, whisking well to combine. Let it bubble until it is lightly thickened, about 5 minutes, then drizzle some gravy over the pot roast and vegetables, and top with the drained, pickled onions. Serve extra gravy on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Chuck roast is a tough cut of beef, but it becomes tender when cooked slowly in a crock pot. Other tough cuts of beef, such as brisket and short ribs, can also be used in this recipe.
  • Brown the meat before cooking: Browning the meat in a skillet before adding it to the crock pot helps to develop flavor and create a nice crust.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables, such as potatoes, turnips, or parsnips.
  • Season the meat and vegetables well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the meat and vegetables.
  • Cook the roast on low for 8-10 hours: This will allow the meat to become tender and fall apart easily.
  • Serve the roast with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables are all great options.

Conclusion:

Chuck roast in a crock pot is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and tender roast that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for an easy and delicious meal, give this chuck roast recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
