So how do you do your pot roast?

---

sear the piss out of it. take it out. sauttee my onions and bellpeppers (diced). add meat back to pot. add water. put on medium til water is reduced to nice thick gravy. serve over rice.

I use a beef shoulder most of the time. but, I like a chuck too.

Did one in the crock pot Saturday. Seasoned with Montreal. Half an onion diced in the bottom. Added some worcestershire and half of a Karbachtoberfest. Cooked on high for the first hour then low for about 4 more hours. Made some darn good sammiches !

Yep, doing pw recipe tomorrow night

its pretty damn hard to mess up a pot roast


throw it in the crock pot, put some liquid in it, a few carrots or veggies, and any mix of spices you want

set it and forget it for 8-10 hours and shite will be like butter

S&P a chuck roast and lightly flour it.
Sear in a dutch oven.
Remove the meat and add some chopped onions and garlic and saute just a touch.
Deglaze with red wine.
Drink some red wine.
Add meat back in with some fresh thyme and rosemary.
Cook in the oven at 350 for a couple hours.
After the meat has cooked for a bit, add in some chopped carrots, potatoes, and shallots that have been tossed with some S&P, fresh parsley, and oil.
Cook for another hour or so.
Depending on how much wine you used, you may need to cook the gravy down some at the end. Just depends.

The trick is you don't want to cook your vegetables so long that they turn to mush. A lot of all-day crock pot recipes will do that.

The only picture I have of the process. Not a very sexy picture.
