PERFECT POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
• Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
• Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
• If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
• With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
• Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
• Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

EASY POT ROAST

• Season beef with salt and pepper. Place carrots, potatoes, and onion in a slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper. Add bay leaf and thyme. Place meat on top of vegetables. Add soup. Cover, and cook on low heat for 8 hours (or high for 6 hours).
• Remove meat to a cutting board. Transfer vegetables to a platter. Slice meat, and add to platter. Pour sauce into a liquid measuring cup and skim fat. Taste, and adjust for seasoning. Pour sauce over meat and vegetables, and serve.

SLOW-COOKER EASY POT ROAST

Steps:

• Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In slow cooker, place beef. Sprinkle with pepper and salt. Place potatoes, carrots and garlic over beef. In medium bowl, mix broth, tomato paste, thyme, mushroom soup and onion soup mix with whisk until smooth. Pour over beef and vegetables.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours or until beef is tender. Remove beef from slow cooker to serving platter. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to serving platter with beef; cover to keep warm.
• In small bowl, mix cornstarch and water with whisk until smooth. Stir into liquid in slow cooker. Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook 10 to 12 minutes or until slightly thickened. Serve gravy with beef and vegetables. Garnish with parsley.

BASIC POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat the oil in a heavy three-quart casserole, add the beef and brown it on all sides. Remove the meat from the casserole and add the onions, carrots and celery and cook over medium-low heat until tender and lightly browned. Stir in the garlic, then add the stock.
• Bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan. Stir in salt and pepper to taste, the thyme and the bay leaf. Return the meat to the casserole.
• Cover the casserole and place in the oven. Bake for about two hours, until the meat is tender.
• To serve at once, remove the meat from the casserole and set aside. Strain the cooking liquid and puree the vegetables in a food processor or a blender. Return the cooking liquid to the casserole and stir in the pureed vegetables and the tomato paste. Bring to a boil and cook for about five minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Slice the meat and arrange on a platter. Spoon some of the hot sauce over the slices and pass the rest alongside.
• Alternatively, the meat can be refrigerated overnight in the cooking liquid and the next day steps 5 through 7 of this recipe can be followed. Doing this will improve both the flavor and texture of the meat and will also allow the layer of chilled fat on the surface of the liquid to be removed and discarded.

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Season beef with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add beef and cook until evenly browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Stir in beef broth mixture; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with beef. Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours, or until meat is fork-tender. Remove beef, potatoes, carrots, celery and onion from the slow cooker; shred beef, using two forks. Cover with aluminum foil. Strain cooking juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan over medium heat; discard solids. Skim any remaining fat from surface and discard. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, whisking constantly, until desired thickness, about 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve beef, potatoes, carrots, celery and onion with juices immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
