SLOW COOKER POT ROAST



Slow Cooker Pot Roast image

Taking the time to make a smooth, thick gravy for this slow-cooked dinner is worth it. As the pot roast cooks, the water and juices from the vegetables and meat will thin the gravy out, creating just the right consistency.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 4-pound beef chuck roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 stalks celery, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 cloves garlic, mashed
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
3 cups low-sodium beef broth
3 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the roast all over with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer the roast to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker, along with the carrots, celery, onions and garlic.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, allspice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking, until the gravy is smooth and thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour the gravy into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The roast and vegetables should be tender.
  • Remove the roast and let rest for a few minutes. Discard the thyme stems and strain the vegetables, reserving the gravy. Toss the vegetables with half the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Stir the remaining parsley into the gravy and season with salt and pepper. Slice the roast against the grain. Serve the meat and vegetables on a platter, moistening them with some of the gravy; serve the remaining gravy on the side.

PREP: 15 MINUTES; COOK: 6 HRS., 30 MINUTES This recipe is fast and easy--your family will love it. I found it in SOUTHERN LIVING. You can probably substitute your favorite beans as well at the tomatoes. Green chilies are not manditory but it certainly adds a touch of spice. It's a very nice one-dish meal.

Tips:

  • Use a chuck roast or bottom round roast for the best results. These cuts of beef are tough, but they become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly in a liquid.
  • Brown the beef roast before cooking it in the slow cooker. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Add a variety of vegetables to the slow cooker along with the beef roast. This will help to create a flavorful and nutritious meal.
  • Use a flavorful liquid to cook the beef roast. This could be beef broth, chicken broth, or even water. You can also add some red wine or beer to the liquid for extra flavor.
  • Cook the beef roast on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. The longer you cook the roast, the more tender it will become.

Conclusion:

Texas pot roast is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. Simply brown the beef roast, add it to the slow cooker with some vegetables and a flavorful liquid, and cook on low for 8-10 hours. The result is a tender, flavorful roast that is sure to please everyone at the table.
