Tender And Flavorful Pot Roast Food

CLASSIC POT ROAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Toss together the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, and black pepper. Pat the beef dry with paper towel and season the beef on all sides with the spice mixture.
• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large Dutch oven and sear the roast to form a mice crust. Remove the meat and add the last tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Sear the other side until crusted. About 5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside on a rimmed dish.

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.

TENDER AND FLAVORFUL POT ROAST

Steps:

• Assemble all ingredients except carrots, potatoes and horseradish. Be sure to use a good wine that you would drink.
• Mince garlic and chop onion into quarters. Choose a pan that is large enough for roast to lie flat and that has a tight fitting lid.
• Pat meat dry and lightly sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Rub flour into meat. (If using regular table salt, use even less.).
• Sear in oil over medium-high heat until browned on all edges.
• Add remaining ingredients except the carrots, potatoes and horseradish. If not enough liquid to cover roast, add water (or more wine).
• Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low (more than simmer) and cook for 8 hours, or until the whole roast is falling apart.
• The secret to tender pot roast is to cook it long enough, so if it's not tender yet, that means it's not done yet.
• If you don't have enough liquid to cover the roast, you'll have to flip the roast over every hour or so.
• Add carrots and potatoes the last hour. Peel them and chop to desired size.
• Serve with horseradish sauce and au jus (broth from pan).
