Time 16m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tsp canola, vegetable or olive oil
3 ½ pounds beef chuck roast, cross rib roast or rump roast
Salt and pepper
3 cups water
2 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon Beef Base (or 4 tsp beef bouillon)
2 tsp onion powder

¼ tsp celery seed
¼ tsp paprika
½ tsp black pepper

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
For vegetables: 1 ½ pounds Russet, yellow or red potatoes, cut into chunks
1 ½ pounds peeled carrots, cut into chunks or baby carrots
5 Tbsp melted butter
¼ cup flour
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cut off excess fat and the silver skin from the roast. Some roasts have more fat than others. I always try to pick the roast with less chunks of fat and more marbling.
  • (This step is optional but will help the roast be a lot more flavorful) Heat a pan on the stove over medium high heat. Salt and pepper the roast on all sides liberally. Add oil into the pan. Add in the roast and brown it on each side for about 5 minutes. Remove the roast and place it in the slow cooker.
  • Add in the water and Better than Bouillon. Season it with the onion powder, parsley, celery seed, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Remove the lid and add in the potatoes and carrots. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 more hours.
  • Scoop the potatoes, carrots and roast onto a platter and let rest. While the meat is resting make a gravy. Turn the slow cooker to high or the stovetop setting. In a small bowl whisk the melted butter and flour together until completely smooth. Stir a cup of the liquid from the slow cooker into the butter and flour. Whisk until smooth and then stir the whole mixture into the slow cooker. Whisk. The gravy will thicken in a few minutes. Salt and pepper the gravy to taste.
  • Slice or shred the roast. Serve the roast, potatoes and carrots with gravy over the top.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds rump roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup red wine
One 28-ounce can tomato product (I'm using crushed tomatoes)
1 cup liquid (I'm using water)
2 bay leaves
1 pound dry pasta (I'm using shells)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Season the meat with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Sear the meat all over, about 2 minutes per each side.
  • Move the meat to the side (or remove it from the pot altogether if necessary), add the celery, carrot and onion and brown the vegetables, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for a minute or 2 longer. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Add the tomatoes, water and bay leaves (and the meat if you removed it). Bring the liquid to a simmer and taste for seasoning. Add more salt if necessary. Cover the pot and bake, basting the meat occasionally, until tender, about 3 hours.
  • About 20 minutes before the meat is tender, bring a pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Add the shells, give it a stir and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta.
  • To serve, you can pull the meat apart with a couple of forks right in the pot at the table. Serve with the pasta, plenty of sauce and vegetables, tossing them all together.

GRANDMA'S BEST POT ROAST



Grandma's Best Pot Roast image

The simplest and best pot roast recipe ever, straight from my grandma's kitchen!

Provided by Abbie Persichetti

Time 5h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (3 pound) bottom round roast
1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
1 cup water
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Trim excess fat from roast, leaving about 1/4 inch fat. Liberally season all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place roast, fat-side up, in a Dutch oven. Place onions on and around the roast.
  • Cover and bake until aromatic, about 1 1/2 hours. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake, turning the meat every 30 minutes and keeping covered, until roast is browned and cooked through, about 3 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
  • Check tenderness of roast with a fork; if not tender enough, add additional cook time in 30-minute increments until meat easily falls apart.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer roast to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk water and flour together in a small bowl.
  • Place the Dutch oven, uncovered, on the stovetop over medium heat. Smash the remaining onion pieces and stir, being careful not to let the gravy burn. Slowly add water-flour mixture, whisking until cooked through and desired thickness is achieved.
  • Slice roast and serve alongside gravy.
