Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

Pot roast:
1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
4 medium carrots, large-diced
1 large sweet onion, large-diced
6 garlic cloves, smashed
6 bay leaves
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 quart beef stock, preferably homemade
1 quart dry red wine
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground
Charred Onion and Chickpea Salad
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large red onion, halved lengthwise, root end of each half left intact
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed, or 10 ounces dried chickpeas, cooked
2 cups coarsely chopped fresh cilantro (from about 1 bunch)
4 red jalapeƱo peppers, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
Special Equipment
6-quart (or larger) slow cooker

Steps:

  • For the pot roast:
  • Pat the chuck roast dry and season it all over with salt and the pepper.
  • Place a large braising pan, such as a Dutch oven, over high heat and warm the canola oil in it until it shimmers. Add the chuck roast and sear it for about 5 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Transfer the roast to a plate to rest, and add the carrots and onion to the braising pan. Cook for 3 minutes on high heat, stirring, until the vegetables are starting to soften; then add the garlic, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs and cook for 1 minute more. Add the stock, red wine, and ground coriander and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the contents into a slow cooker. Add the chuck roast, cover with the lid, and cook on the low setting for 8 to 10 hours, until very tender. Season with additional salt, if desired.
  • For the salad:
  • Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the canola oil, and when it begins to shimmer, add the onion halves, cut-side down, and char for about 10 minutes-you want them to be well blackened. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onion halves cool to room temperature; then slice each half into 1/4-inch-thick half-rings.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, cilantro, jalapeƱos, charred onion slices, lemon juice, olive oil, and cumin. Toss well and season with salt to taste.
  • To serve:
  • Transfer the roast to a platter, discard the bay and thyme, and serve the Charred Onion and Chickpea Salad alongside.

Tips for Making the Best Pot Roast Salad:

  • Choose the right cut of beef.Chuck roast or rump roast are good choices, as they are both well-marbled and will become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the beef before roasting.This will help to develop flavor and prevent the beef from drying out.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid.Beef broth, red wine, or a combination of the two are all good options.
  • Cook the beef until it is fall-apart tender.This will typically take 2-3 hours in a slow cooker or Dutch oven.
  • Let the beef cool before shredding it.This will make it easier to handle and will prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad.A mix of roasted vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, and onions, is a good place to start.
  • Add some fresh herbs to brighten up the flavor of the salad.Parsley, cilantro, and chives are all good options.
  • Use a light and tangy dressing.A vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard is a good choice.

Conclusion:

Pot roast salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a pot roast salad that your family and friends will love.
