Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good options for pot roast. Look for a roast that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist and flavorful.
- Brown the meat before cooking: Browning the meat in a skillet over medium-high heat before adding it to the slow cooker will help develop its flavor and create a rich, caramelized crust.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, parsnips, turnips, or mushrooms.
- Add some herbs and spices: A few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary, a bay leaf, and some black peppercorns will add depth of flavor to the pot roast.
- Don't overcook the meat: The best way to ensure that the pot roast is tender and juicy is to cook it on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours.
Conclusion:
This slow cooker pot roast with tomatoes, balsamic, and garlic is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The pot roast is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are perfectly cooked. The balsamic vinegar and garlic add a tangy and savory flavor to the dish.
