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.

BEEF POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Heat a heavy Dutch oven on top of the stove over medium high heat. Add oil, and sear meat in the center of the pan for 4 minutes. Turn meat over with tongs; sear all sides for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove meat from pan. Arrange onion, garlic, and 1 bay leaf in the bottom of the pan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return meat to pan, place remaining bay leaf on top of meat, and cover.

POT ROAST

Steps:

• Sprinkle the meat liberally with the celery seeds, salt and pepper up to 1 day in advance. Remove the meat from the refrigerator 45 minutes to 1 hour before cooking to take the chill off it. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, followed by the brisket. Sear the meat until golden brown and crusty, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Set aside.
• Add the celery, carrots and onions to the Dutch oven, along with a pinch of salt. Brown the vegetables, about 3 minutes, then add the garlic and thyme and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Stir in the tomato paste and toast it until it's rust colored, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Add the meat back in, then add enough stock to cover the roast halfway. Bring the liquid to a simmer and taste for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary. Cover and roast in the oven, basting the meat occasionally, until the roast is tender, 3 to 4 hours.
• If you're serving individual plates, the meat can be removed to a cutting board and sliced. Or, the meat can be pulled apart with a couple of forks right in the pot at the table and served with plenty of the sauce and vegetables.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet or pan over high heat. Season roast with a good amount of salt and pepper. Sear on all sides until browned (about 5-6 minutes each side). Transfer roast to the bowl of a 6-quart slow cooker.
• Add the onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, celery, balsamic, mustard, brown sugar, thyme and bouillon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the stock together with the flour and pour into the slow cooker bowl (don't worry about any lumps, they will cook out).
• Cook on low setting for 8 hours, or until meat is tender and falling apart and the vegetables are soft.
• Taste test and add any extra balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt or pepper, if needed.
• Slice meat, garnish with parsley and drizzle with gravy.
• Season roast with a good amount of salt and pepper. Heat oil in the Instant Pot and set to 'Saute'. When oil is hot, sear on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes each side).
• Add the onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, celery, balsamic, mustard, brown sugar, thyme and bouillon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the stock together with the flour and pour into the slow cooker bowl (don't worry about any lumps, they will cook out). Place lid on Instant pot with steam valve closed.
• Change Instant Pot setting to 'manual' mode for 60 minutes on 'high' pressure.
• When time is up and cooker beeps, turn off and allow pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, use the quick pressure lever to release any remaining pressure. Carefully remove lid and transfer roast and veggies to a warm plate.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat oil in a dutch oven or heavy based oven-proof pot over medium-high heat. Season roast all over with a good amount of salt and pepper. Sear until brown on all sides (about 4-5 minutes each side).
• Transfer roast to a plate. Sauté onions until transparent, then add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the stock and balsamic vinegar to deglaze your pan, scraping up any browned bits. Whisk in the flour and let cook for about 4 minutes (don't worry about any lumps, they will cook out).
• Transfer roast back into the pot. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, mustard, brown sugar, thyme and bouillon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Bring to a simmer, cover with lid (or foil) and transfer to the oven. Roast for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and falling apart. (Check roast after 1 1/2 hours. If the liquid has mostly been absorbed, stir in 1 cup of extra broth and continue cooking.)
• Transfer the roast, carrots, and potatoes to a warm plate. With a spoon, skim the fat off the surface of the cooking liquid. Cut the roast into thick slices, and serve with the vegetables. Pass the pan juices separately.

MEATBALL POT ROAST

Steps:

• 1. Layer in order given. Cover in cook in crockpot on low setting for 8-10 hours.
• 2. I made this the night before and zapped it in the microwave (covered good with seran) the next day to heat it up. It has enough juice so it doesn't dry out. ENJOY !
