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.

Steps:
- Cut the roast into 3.5 oz portions, season with salt and pepper, and sear on a pan on all sides before transferring to a crock pot. Add remaining ingredients to the pot and cook on low for 8 hours until tender. Strain broth and discard bay leaf. Serve with some broth, saving the rest for future servings and recipes.
THOMASINA'S SWEDISH ROAST (HCG P3/4)
This is really for me to keep track of the recipe, but if you're looking for a flavorful roast, give this one a try. It's a slow cooker recipe, so you can set it up in the AM, and it'll be ready by dinner. You can also substitute red wine for the apple cider vinegar (although that's not for P3). ** UPDATE ** I've adjusted the cook time. Ideally what you're looking for is for the meat to be really tender. Each crockpot cooks a little differently, so if you're cooking the roast on low you may want to check on it at the 6 hour marker the first time you make this recipe.

Tips:
- Use a heavy pot or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid. This will help to evenly distribute heat and prevent moisture from escaping.
- Brown the roast all over before adding it to the pot. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming tough.
- Add enough liquid to cover the roast by about 1 inch. You can use water, broth, or a combination of both.
- Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 3 hours, or until the roast is tender. If the liquid evaporates too much, add more as needed.
- Add vegetables to the pot during the last hour of cooking. This will help them to soften and absorb the flavors of the roast and sauce.
- Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Pot roast is a classic, comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is relatively easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own tastes by adding different vegetables and seasonings. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and hearty pot roast on the table in no time.
