Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound slab bacon, cut into large lardons
2 medium onions, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds beef chuck, cut into large cubes
5 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
Generous tablespoon all-purpose flour
12 ounces beer (dark or light, depending on your preference)
6 prunes
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 cup beef stock

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat, add the bacon and cook until it renders its fat and almost becomes crispy. Remove it with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook over low heat until they are deep in color and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the onions to a plate, leaving as much fat in the pot as possible. Add the vegetable oil and mix it with the bacon fat. Raise the heat to high. Season the beef liberally with salt and pepper and sear, in batches, until nicely browned on both sides.
  • Once the meat is browned, add the first batch of meat back to the pan along with the onions, carrots and bacon. Sprinkle in the flour and stir. Cook for 1 minute before deglazing the pan with the beer. Add the remaining ingredients and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and put it in the oven to braise until the beef is tender, about 2 hours. Remove the pot from the oven and transfer the pot roast to a serving dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good options for pot roast. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before cooking. This will help to develop flavor and create a nice crust.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery are all classic pot roast vegetables. But you can also use other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
  • Add some spices and herbs. Common pot roast seasonings include garlic, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary. You can also add a bay leaf or two.
  • Cook the pot roast on low heat for at least 8 hours. This will allow the beef to become tender and the vegetables to cook through.
  • Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. You can also serve it with a side of gravy.

Conclusion:

Pot roast is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a little planning, you can have a delicious pot roast dinner on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give pot roast a try. You won't be disappointed!
