Perfect Pot Roast

Saw another recipe that cooks the roast and onions first for a couple hours. Then add carrots, celery, potatoes for 2 hours.

The recipe itself needs no improvements, but I did add four cloves of fresh garlic and a tablespoon of tomato paste. I sautéed the garlic very quickly between removing the carrots and adding the wine.

Cut the recipe in half. Baby carrots work instead of whole carrots. Instead of cooking the roast in the oven, once it’s time to put everything in the oven, put it in your slow cooker instead, (4 hours on high or 8 hours on low). Before you put it in the oven/slow cooker, add 6 halved baby potatoes. Eliminate wine for whole 30

This was bland.

So delicious & tender!! Literally cut with a butter knife! Only thing I would recommend is add salt & pepper to the liquid when deglazing the pan & add a bit of browning liquid like kitchen bouquet.

My husband said this was his favorite and a make again!

Made in crock pot on low for 7 hrs instead of dutch oven

This is my go-to Sunday roast. I cut up leftover meat for use in crockpot stroganoff recipe. Leftover stock and veggies get used to make dirty rice for another night. Makes meal planning easier.
