• Add the carrots, onions, and garlic and season lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté the vegetables until browned, 5 to 8 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Remove the vegetables and place in a clean bowl.
• Deglaze the pot with 1 cup of the cider. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any brown bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Add 2 cups of the broth and bring it to a boil again.

• To serve, slice the pot roast, arrange the vegetables around it, and pour the sauce over the top.
• Variations: Tipsy Pot Roast
• In many pot roast recipes, there is an element of alcohol. In mine, I use hard cider, but you can also try red wine, a heavy beer, or-for your Irish friends-Guinness. The booze gives the meat an extra dimension but won't get the family hammered.

INSTANT POT PERFECT BEEF POT ROAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Press the SAUTE button on your Instant Pot and allow it to heat up.
• Add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to the bottom of the Instant Pot.
• Generously sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic salt on all sides of the pot roast.
• Place roast in hot oil on a skillet and let it sear on that side for 2 minutes. Flip the roast over and sear the other side for 2 minutes.
• Depending on the shape of your pot roast, you can sear the other sides if you choose. Press CANCEL button to turn off the saute feature.
• Remove the roast from the Instant Pot and place on a plate.
• Pour 1/2 cup beef broth into the bottom of the Instant Pot and with a wooden spatula, scrape the burnt brown bits off the bottom of the pot (this is called "deglazing" and will keep you from getting the burn notice when it cooks).
• Place roast back into Instant Pot. Add onion, carrots, and celery and spread all around the roast.
• Add garlic on top of roast and vegetables.
• Pour in the beef broth, being sure not to pour it directly on the roast or vegetables because you just cooked them in delicious flavors. Try to pour the beef broth on the sides as much as possible.
• Pour the Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce directly on the roast. Sprinkle thyme and rosemary evenly around the meat and vegetables.
• Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and move the valve to SEALING. Press the PRESSURE COOK (MANUAL) button and set timer for 80 minutes (or 20 minutes per pound, depending on the size of your roast).
• When the timer is done, let the pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE and then let the roast sit on warm for at least 1 hour (I sometimes will let it sit on warm in the Instant Pot for 3-5 hours, just to let it really get tender).
• Remove roast from Instant Pot and slice into pieces (it should pretty much fall apart by this point).
• Serve with mashed potatoes and the cooked carrots on the side.

OVEN BAG POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Whisk flour, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder together in a bowl. Dredge roast through the flour mixture to evenly coat.
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat; brown roast in the melted butter, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer roast to an oven bag and put into a 13x9-inch casserole dish.
• Whisk beef consomme, water, onion soup mix, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl; pour into the oven bag over the roast. Cut 6 small slits in the top of the oven bag for ventilation.
• Bake roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour 45 minutes; add carrots, onion, and mushrooms to the oven bag and bake until vegetables are tender and roast is cooked through, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

SOUS VIDE POT ROAST

Steps:

• With a sous vide wand, heat about 6 liters of water in a large pot or container to 133°F / 56°C.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke, sear the chuck roast, holding the meat in place with metal tongs to form a golden crust all over. Remove the meat from the skillet and let cool.
• Place the chuck roast into a Ziploc or vacuum-sealed bag, along with the pepper, garlic, thyme, butter, sugar and salt. Vacuum seal closed.
• When the water reaches temperature, submerge the bag in the water, ensuring it's completely covered. Cover the pot or container with plastic wrap to avoid water evaporation. Cook for 24 hours, up to 48 hours.
• Towards the end of the sous vide time, preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C.
• In a baking dish, toss the potatoes, carrots, apples, and onions with the olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder, and mix everything together with your hands. Distribute the thyme stalks in between the vegetables. Roast for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium pot, bring the broth to a simmer and reduce it to 1½ cups.
• Remove the bag from the sous vide bath. Strain the liquid in the bag directly into the pot with the broth.
• In a small cup, dissolve the cornstarch in 5 tablespoons cold water and whisk into the broth. Bring the gravy to a boil, mixing constantly. When boiling, cook for 1 minute, then remove the gravy from the heat.
• When the vegetables are fork-tender, remove them from the oven and increase the temperature to 450°F / 230°C. Remove the thyme stalks from the vegetables.
• Drizzle the sauce over the vegetables and stir. Place the sous vide chuck roast on top and return to the oven until the chuck has a deep golden brown color, about 5 minutes.
• Top the roast with fresh herbs. Serve with a side of green beans if you like.
