COCA COLA POT ROAST
Steps:
- Spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray. Rinse and pat dry the pot roast. Drizzle with olive oil then rub with steak seasoning, black pepper and minced garlic on all sides. Center in the slow cooker.
- Arrange the carrots and onion wedges around the roast, placing a few onion wedges on top. Drizzle the Worcestershire sauce over the roast.
- Mix together the coca cola, brown gravy mix and Herbes de Provence until dissolved. Pour over the roast and vegetables. If adding potatoes, arrange the potato halves on top. If serving with mashed potatoes, omit.
- Season the vegetables with a light sprinkle of steak seasoning or seasoned salt and black pepper to your taste.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours. To make the gravy, use a slotted spoon to remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker to a platter. Cover and keep warm.
- Pour the drippings into a saucepan, skimming any excess fat from the top.
- Thicken with cornstarch or a flour slurry to make the gravy, if desired.

COLA-BRAISED POT ROAST
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Season the roast well on all sides with 2 teaspoons of the salt and the pepper. On a cutting board combine the remaining salt, minced garlic and rosemary and, using the side of a knife, mash against the board repeatedly to form a paste. Using a small paring knife, make thin slits into the roast on all sides, about 2 inches apart, and fill the holes with the garlic-rosemary paste. Repeat until you have used all of the paste.
- Heat a Dutch oven over high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the roast and cook until very well browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the beef stock and cola and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Add the tomato paste and stir to blend. The liquid should be about 1/2 way up the sides of the roast. Cover the Dutch oven, place in oven, and roast until the meat is fork-tender, about 3 1/2 hours, turning the meat every hour and adding extra water if necessary to keep the liquid level at about 1/3 up the sides of the roast.
- When the meat is fork-tender, remove the roast from the oven and carefully transfer the roast to a serving platter. Cover loosely to keep warm.
- Skim off as much of the fat from the surface of the cooking liquid as possible. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the fat in a small bowl and add the flour. Stir to make a smooth paste. Add 1/2 cup of the hot cooking liquid to the bowl and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk this mixture into the hot cooking liquid that remains in the Dutch oven and place over high heat on the stovetop. Cook, whisking frequently, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and any floury taste is gone. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
- Serve the roast with the hot gravy.

This is so easy it's almost embarrassing! This dish makes it's own gravy while it cooks. Although it sounds like an odd combination, it is truly delicious! *If you don't want to defrost the roast first, you can still use the same recipe, but cook about 4 1/2 to 5 hours.

- Add vegetables to the pot roast. Vegetables will help to add flavor and nutrition to your pot roast. Good options include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Cook the pot roast on low heat for a long time. Pot roast is a dish that is best cooked on low heat for a long time. This will allow the meat to become tender and fall apart.
- Serve the pot roast with your favorite sides. Pot roast is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
Conclusion:
Cola pot roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family meal. The cola and spices in the braising liquid give the roast a unique and flavorful taste. Serve the pot roast with your favorite sides and enjoy!
