THE BEST POT ROAST



The Best Pot Roast image

The secret to a flavorful pot roast is browning the meat and onions before roasting, which adds a rich meaty flavor and caramelized sweetness. This step is what separates our recipe from many others that use a slow cooker. And also unlike a slow cooker recipe, our sauce is simmered to reduce a little which concentrates the flavors. What you'll end up with is a roast that's fall-apart tender with a velvety sauce and delicious vegetables.

Time 8h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

One 4-pound boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed and tied
4 tablespoons kosher salt
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large onions, cut into 2-inch wedges
4 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
7 carrots, peeled, cut into 3-inch pieces
4 stalks celery, cut into 3-inch pieces
2 pounds medium red potatoes, quartered (halved if small)
Chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
Chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the roast with 3 tablespoons of the salt, rubbing into the grain and covering all sides. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 3 days.
  • Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 275 degrees F.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Cook the meat, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-high and heat the remaining 4 tablespoons oil in the pot. Cook the onions and the remaining 1 tablespoon salt, stirring occasionally, until browned but not completely cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes (it's ok if the onion wedges break apart). Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until the paste is brick red and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bay leaves and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot, until slightly reduced and you can no longer smell the alcohol, about 4 minutes. Add the flour, stir to coat the onions and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the broth and pepper and bring to a boil.
  • Nestle the meat and any accumulated juices into the onions. Arrange the carrots, celery and potatoes around the roast, pushing them into the onions and surrounding the beef. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook until the meat is very tender but still holds its shape and is not falling apart, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Let rest, covered, at least 45 minutes before serving.
  • Transfer the roast to a cutting board and remove the twine with scissors, if necessary. Slice against the grain.
  • Divide the vegetables among plates and arrange the sliced beef over top. Spoon sauce over the top garnish with parsley and chives.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 3- to 5-pound chuck roast
2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil
2 whole onions, peeled and halved
6 to 8 whole carrots, unpeeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup red wine, optional
3 cups beef broth
2 or 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 or 3 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
  • Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
  • Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
  • If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
  • With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
  • Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
  • Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

AWESOME ROAST BEEF

This rump roast in mushroom soup and beef broth is tender and very moist. It's made in the slow cooker, and is very easy to make. Raw vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes, may be added at the start of the cooking time, if desired. My whole family loves this recipe. The leftovers also make great roast beef sandwiches.

  • Cook the pot roast on low heat for a long period of time. This will allow the meat to become tender and the flavors to meld.
