Best 4 Stove Top Pot Roast Recipes

STOVE TOP POT ROAST

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place the roast in the pot, and quickly brown on all sides.
• Fill the pot with enough water to cover the roast. Add the onion, garlic, celery, basil, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 hours and 15 minutes, adding water if needed to keep the roast covered. Add potatoes and turnips; simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Add carrots; simmer for 30 minutes, or until roast can be pulled apart with a fork. Taste, and adjust salt and pepper if needed before serving.

STOVE TOP POT ROAST WITH GRAVY, POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Pour all seasoning in a small bowl and mix well. Season meat on both sides.
• Using a dutch oven heat oil then add meat and sear on all 4 sides approx 3-5 minutes on each side.
• Add beef broth, sliced garlic, onion and celery and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to between medium and medium low (on my stove it's around right between 4-5) keeping the liquid at a low boil. Cook for 2 hours. Add potatoes, carrots and Minute tapioca and cook an additional 1 1/2 hours stirring occasionally.
• Discard the onion and celery. Slice the meat and place on platter with potatoes and carrots and place gravy in gravy boat or bowl and serve.

CASSIES - STOVE TOP POT ROAST

Steps:

• 1. Trim off any large pieces of surface fat. Mix together salt, pepper, paprika and turmeric and rub this all over the meat.
• 2. In a dutch oven or large skillet with a domed lid, heat (medium-high) 2 tablespoons canola or other oil and brown the meat. Add more oil if needed. Don't rush this step as browning is important for a rich deep flavor.
• 3. Reduce the heat and add 1 1/2 cups dry red wine (or tomato juice) and 1 1/2 cup water, the bay leaves, and the cinnamon stick. Regulate the heat to maintain a slow simmer. Cover the pot.
• 4. Scrub or peel potatoes and carrots and cut into large pieces. If using egg-sized or smaller potatoes, leave them whole. Cut the onions into large chunks. ( I saved time by buying baby potatoes with a thin skin, and prepackaged baby carrots )
• 5. After the meat has cooked for an hour, turn it over and add the cut up vegetables.
• 6. Continue to simmer, covered, until the meat is tender, about an hour and a half. The actual time will depend on the size and shape of the meat. ( Every so often I would push any carrots or potatoes down into the broth, moving the beef around to make room... this is easy once cooked down some.)
• 7. Remove meat and vegetables to a warmed platter and cover loosely to keep warm while you prepare the pan juices. To thicken, raise the heat and boil down the liquid to your desired consistency, or remove 1/2 cup pan juice and thoroughly mix with 1/4th cup flour. Whisk this back into the pan and cook for about 5 minutes. Correct the seasoning, if necessary. You can fore go this step if not wanting a gravy for the meat and veggies.

POT ROAST WITH PORT (STOVE TOP)

Steps:

• In a large pan, heat oil and brown roast on both sides.
• Add wine to pan and simmer roast, uncovered, until wine is reduced to about 1/2 (this will take about 15 minutes or so----I usually turn the roast over at least once during this time).
• Add consomme and simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
• In a small frying pan mix flour with melted butter to make a roux (lightly browned).
• After roast has simmered for the 1 hour, add roux to meat and sauce, stirring to thicken.
• Add the mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Cover and simmer until tender, at least another 1/2 hour.
• This can be served over noodles or rice and garnished with chopped parsley.
