What Is Your Favorite Pot Roast?

ECBG — Sun, 21 Oct 2018 21:04:07 GMT

When my sister and I were teens, we loved what we called the "Red Roast". Our little step sister, then around 6 or 7, always wanted it for breakfast.

Red Pot Roast

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

One chuck roast, excess fat cut away

Worcheschire sauce.

Parsley

2 cans cream of tomato soup

8 large carrots cut into large sticks

6-8 small white potatoes, peeled and thin sliced.

2 large onions cut into 1/3 wedges vertically (So they won't disappear).

Spray a large roaster or smaller aluminum roaster.

Add freshly rinsed chuck roast in the center.

Sprinkle liberally with worcheschire sauce.

Add cut vegetables all around the roast.

Dot tomato soup all over the roast and vegetables.

Add about a can and 1/3 water, pouring all over the top.

Sprinkle with parsley.

Cover very tightly.

Bake 3 1/2 hours.

Reheats wonderfully!

I also have a kickin' Mushroom Round Roast!

Sauerbraten. It's a production to make because you have to marinate for a couple of days before you cook it. I use a family recipe.

Mine wouid be an English Roast with white potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, whole onions, and turnips. Bake it in cream of mushroom soup, Liptons beefy onion soup. DH does the cooking so I don't know the actual recipe, but it is good.

4-5 pound chuck roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt, and coarse ground black pepper (about 2 teaspoons each of salt and black pepper)
3-5 medium yellow onions, quartered
5-6 whole carrots, peeled and cut into bite sized chunks
3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite sized chunks
Around 4-5 cups beef broth
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour

Pre-heat your oven to 275 degrees.
Use paper towels to pat the chuck roast dry.
Liberally season both sides of the roast with kosher salt and coarse ground black pepper. This is important!
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium high heat. When hot, add the roast to the pan. The goal during this step is to brown all sides of the roast really well. You’ll need about 3-4 minutes per side. When the bottom of the roast is browned well, use tongs to flip the roast and brown the other side. You can also brown the sides if you wish, just use tongs to hold the roast up as the sides brown.
Remove the browned roast from the pan and set aside.
Add a bit more oil to the pan if necessary, then add in the onions and brown them on all sides. They might look a little burned but this is what you want.
Return the roast to the pan, placing it on top of the onions.
Arrange the carrots and potatoes on the sides of the roast.
Add in enough beef broth so that the sides of the roast are covered, about 4 cups.

Bring it up to a gentle simmer, then cover the dutch oven and place in the oven for about 4 -5 hours for a 4-5 pound roast or 3-4 hours for a 3-4 pound roast.

When the roast is fork tender and will easily fall apart, it’s done.
Carefully remove the roast from the dutch oven to large plate. Remove the onions, carrots and potatoes as well.
Return the dutch oven to the stove with just the liquid remaining. Heat over medium high heat for about 5-10 minutes.
To make the gravy: Make a roux - In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat.
Add in the flour and whisk really well. Allow the roux to cook for a minute or two.
Mix the roux in with the liquid and whisk really well. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened a bit.

YUM!!! Love this pot roast. I could eat it every day.

DH thinks I'm weird since I like to eat it open face on a roll or toast with gravy. So good.

I used Better Than Bouillon with 5 cups water when I did not have any broth. It made a thicker gravy.

a chuck roast in a brown onion gravy.

chuck seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder.

chuck dredged in flour and seared on the stove first in butter and canola oil. deglaze pan with some red wine

put in a roaster to cook low and slow.

carrots, onions, potatoes, sometimes stalks of celery.

makes a lot of juice/gravy......add some water and some better than bouillon as needed, along with the red wine reduction from deglazing the pan....thicken as desired.

@ECBG,

When I was a teenager, my mom cooked a pot roast in tomato juice; simmered all day on the top of the stove, and was so tender you didn’t have to chew it. Everyone loved it but my dad, so mom never made it again. I’ve made it several times for my family, and we prefer beef bbq over pork bbq.

I use a slow cooker for a chuck roast with parsnips, carrots and a quartered onion, seasonings, and cover it with beef broth or sometimes broth with a packet of onion soup. I either make mashed potatoes or use the tubs of already prepared mashed potatoes, and always make a gravy from the liquid in the pan. McCormack's has a pretty good seasoning packet for pot roasts that I use sometimes - it's a great way to make sure it's nicely seasoned. I guess I make a pot roast like my mother did - nothing fancy, but it always tastes great and is so tender.

I'm doing roast and veg Tuesday. I'll use my pressure cooker and chunk up my chuck roast, brown it in a bit of olive oil, then deglaze with white wine and add a can of beef consume, mushrooms, carrots, sweet onions, and whole petite potatoes. I'll do salt and pepper and kitchen bouquet. Then at the end I'll add a packet of french onion soup mix and/or low sodium brown gravy mix to thicken things up. I usually remove the meat and veg to really wisk the packets in and get the gravy thick enough. It was in the upper 60s today with lowes in the mid 50s. We are to have upper 40s for lowes a few nights at the end of the week. Mind you, it has been 98 last week with the heat index. Crazy weather for us in October! BTW, I'm in the deep south of Georgia.

I love to use a chuck roast in the crockpot with a Lawry’s pot roast seasoning packet, water or stock, onions, carrots and mashed potatoes on the side. Also love to serve applesauce (favorite from childhood).

Mine is my mother's stew. English cut roast cut up, dredged in flour and browned. Done in crock pot seasoned with rosemary (I like ground rosemary) with 1 can of tomato paste, potatoes and carrots. I always add a jar of beef au jus to get more liquid for crusty bread.
