FRENCH ONION POT ROAST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together tomato sauce, beef broth, minced garlic, thyme, worcestershire sauce and white wine vinegar.
• Trim any excess fat off of your chuck roast. Salt and pepper all sides of the roast.
• In the bottom of your slow cooker, add half of the sliced red onions. Pour half the sauce over the onions. Place chuck roast on top of the onions and evenly sprinkle remaining onions on top. Pour remaining sauce on top.
• Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7 hours. When ready, roast will be fork tender.
• To make gravy for the pot roast: Use 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or all-purpose flour per 1 cup of sauce from the slow cooker. Heat over low heat stirring frequently until sauce lightly thickens.
• Serve pot roast with gravy over a bed of mashed potatoes with a sprinkle of fresh parsley(optional). Enjoy!

BEER AND ONION POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the roast generously with salt and pepper. Sear the beef in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the bacon to the pot and cook, stirring, until crispy. Set aside for garnish. Add the onion, garlic and bay leaves to the bacon drippings and cook until slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the beer stir until thickened. Stir in the beef broth.
• Return the browned beef to the Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer, cover, transfer to the oven, and braise, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the meat is fork tender and easy to pull apart, about 3 1/2 hours. Skim off and discard the fat from the top of the sauce before serving. Discard the bay leaves. Slice the post roast and serve with the sauce and cheese toasts. Sprinkle with bacon and parsley.

SLOW-COOKER CARAMELIZED-ONION POT ROAST

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from beef. Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef in oil about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place onions in 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker. Place beef on onions.
• Mix remaining ingredients; pour over beef and onions. Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until beef is tender.
• Remove beef and onions from cooker, using slotted spoon. Cut beef into slices. Skim fat from beef juices in cooker if desired. Serve beef with juices. Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer's directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.

ONION-ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large plastic bag; shake until well coated. Empty bag into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Cover and bake at 350° for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender.

VIDALIA ONION POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Season the beef brisket well with salt and pepper. Crush the thyme and rosemary together with a mortar and pestle and rub the herb mix into the beef, coating it evenly. Rub the beef well with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
• Heat a large saute pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the pan is nearly smoking. Add the beef to the hot pan and sear well on one side until browned before turning the beef over and searing the other side. When the beef has been well browned on both sides, remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add the onions to the saute pan and cook them until golden brown. Add the red wine to the onions and reduce by half.
• Pour the onions into a large heavy roasting pan and spread evenly across the bottom before putting the beef on the bed of onions. Add the carrots, garlic, hot beef/water and celery bundle to the beef in the roasting pan and place, uncovered, into the oven. All the combined liquid should rise only 2/3 as high as the meat is thick. Add additional water to maintain the braising liquid height.
• Cook for 1 hour before turning the beef over. Cook the second side uncovered for 1 hour before covering the pan with a cover or foil and turning the oven down to 325 degrees. Continue to slowly braise the beef brisket for 1 1/2 to 2 additional hours.
• Remove the pan from the oven, discard the celery bouquet and allow the beef to rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving with some of the onion jus.

EASY ONION POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
• In a large casserole dish or Dutch oven or roaster (it should be able to go on the burner as well as go in the oven), spread half the onions.
• Rinse roast under the tap, pat dry with paper towel, and place on onion mixture.
• Cover with remaining onions and all the garlic; sprinkle pepper and thyme over top.
• Mix together the 1 cup water and worcestershire, and pour over roast.
• Cover and cook in preheated oven for 2-1/2 to 3 hours, or until roast is tender. (I turn the roast over after half the cooking time has past, although the original recipe did not call for it)
• Place meat and onions on a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm; if you let the roast stand for 10 to 15 minutes it will be easier to carve.
• Meanwhile, add enough liquid to the pot, if necessary, so you have 2 cups (use water, wine, beef broth, whatever you wish-- I use beef broth and red wine combined, usually); skim off any visible fat.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in the 2 tbsp cold water; stir into pan juices.
• Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for about 3 minutes or until the gravy is boiling and is thickened.
• Strain gravy if desired, carve roast into thin slices, and serve.
