CROCK POT ROAST

Steps:

• Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to rub in the salt and pepper in all the cracks and crevasses, to ensure maximum flavor.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chuck roast to the skillet and sear on all sides until brown. About 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer the pot roast to the insert of your slow cooker.
• Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and herbs to the slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the roast is tender.
• Transfer the pot roast to a platter and let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Discard the herbs from the slow cooker. Use a spoon to skim any visible fat from the surface of the liquid.
• Whisk the cornstarch with the water and add to the slow cooker. Stir everything together and cook on high for 20 minutes or so until the sauce thickens up a bit. Add more cornstarch if you're looking for more of a thicker gravy.
• Slice the beef or shred it with a couple forks. Serve the beef with the potatoes and carrots and drizzle with gravy.
• Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to rub in the salt and pepper in all the cracks and crevasses, to ensure maximum flavor.
• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chuck roast to the Dutch oven and sear on all sides until brown; about 4 minutes per side.
• Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and herbs to the Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer, cover with lid and transfer to the preheated oven.
• Roast for 3 to 4 hours until the meat starts to fall apart. Transfer the pot roast to a platter and let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Whisk the cornstarch with the water and add to Dutch oven. Stir everything together and cook on high for 5 minutes or so until the sauce thickens up a bit. Add more cornstarch if you're looking for more of a thicker gravy.
• Slice the beef or shred it with a couple forks. Serve the beef with the potatoes and carrots and drizzle with gravy.
• Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to rub in the salt and pepper in all the cracks and crevasses, to ensure maximum flavor.
• Turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting. (See your manufacturer's guide for detailed instructions on how to use your instant pot). Add the olive oil and wait for the oil to heat.
• Add the chuck roast to the Instant Pot and sear the meat on all sides. About 4 minutes per side.
• Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and herbs to the Instant Pot. Close the lid (follow the manufacturer's guide for instructions on how to close the instant pot lid). Set the Instant Pot to the Manual setting and set the timer to 80 minutes on high pressure.
• Once the Instant Pot cycle is complete, wait until the natural release cycle is complete, should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release, if in a rush. Carefully unlock and remove the lid from the instant pot. Transfer the pot roast to a serving platter, and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Turn the Instant Pot to the high saute setting. Whisk the cornstarch with the water and add to the Instant Pot. Stir and cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens a bit.

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.

CLASSIC POT ROAST FOR THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, stir together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons broth until smooth. Add remaining broth, tomato paste, potatoes, carrots, onion, and Worcestershire. Season with salt and pepper and toss.
• Season roast with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and rub with garlic. Place on top of vegetables. Cover and cook on high until roast is fork-tender, 5 hours (or 8 hours on low).
• Transfer roast to a cutting board; thinly slice against the grain. Place vegetables in a serving dish; skim fat from pan juices, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve, if desired. Serve roast and vegetables drizzled with juices.

CRANBERRY POT ROAST

Steps:

• Bring the beef broth and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Stir in the cranberry sauce until dissolved. Pour the sauce into a slow cooker set to High.

Cook the roast in the hot oil until brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to the slow cooker along with the chopped onion.
