Stone House Seasoning

potatoes

onions

carrots

celery

thyme thyme

rosemary

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Sear roast. Drizzle olive oil into the bottom of a heavy Dutch oven over medium heat. Add roast and sear on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Carefully remove the pot roast from the Dutch oven using tongs and place onto a large platter or a rimmed baking sheet.

Deglaze the pan by pouring 1 cup of beef broth or red wine into the Dutch oven. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up all of the cooked bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the beef, and any juices, back into the Dutch oven. Add the remainder of the beef broth and/ or red wine to the pot. Add in the Worcestershire sauce, Stone House Seasoning, the vegetables, and herbs.

Cover and place in oven for 3 hours, until the roast is fork tender and reaches 202º F when checked with an internal thermometer.

If the slow cooker doesn&#x27;t have an in-pot browning method (see your slow cooker&#x27;s instructions), follow instructions above for searing the roast. Then, transfer the seared pot roast to the insert of a slow cooker. Deglaze the pan as instructed above and pour into the slow cooker along with the remaining beef broth and/ or red wine, Worcestershire sauce, Stone House Seasoning, the vegetables and the herbs. Cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours, depending on your slow cooker.

Add the flour-coated roast to the Dutch oven and brown well on each side.

Tender and delicious pot roast recipe cooked in a dutch oven or oven safe stock pot.

Classic pot roast is the ultimate comfort food dish. Tender braised beef, potatoes, and carrots marry together in the most flavorful sauce!

chuck roast (tied)

salt

pepper

vegetable oil

garlic (chopped)

dry red wine

low-sodium beef stock (divided)

bay leaves

Worcestershire sauce

thyme (tied)

flat-leaf parsley (minced, garnish)

salt and pepper (to taste)

Preheat oven to 325f and set the rack in the middle of the oven to accommodate a Dutch oven with its lid.

Heat a large pan to medium heat.  Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels then season with salt and pepper.  Add the oil to the pan along with the chuck roast.  Sear until browned on all sides (about 15 minutes total) then remove the roast to a plate.

Add a 1/2 cup of beef stock to the pot and scrape off all of the browned bits.  Pour the pan sauce into the same vessel as the remaining beef stock and set aside.

Heat a large Dutch oven to medium heat, add the olive oil and onions along with a pinch of salt, and cook until translucent (about 10 minutes).  Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes or until fragrant.

Add the tomato paste and cook for 3 minutes then add the flour and mix until all of the white specks have vanished (about 1 minute).

Add the red wine, beef stock, thyme, bay leaves, and Worcestershire sauce to the pot and bring to a boil while stirring to break up any flour clumps.  Boil for 2 minutes then turn off the heat and add the roast back to the pot and cover.  Place into the oven to roast.

After 1 1/2 hours, remove the pot and uncover it.  Quickly add the potatoes and carrots to the pot and cover again. Return to the oven for another 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 200-210f.

Place the pot roast and veggies on a plate and tent with foil.  Remove and discard the bay leaves and thyme bundle from the Dutch oven.

To de-grease the sauce, lay paper towels on top of the sauce to absorb the fat then discard or use a ladle to skim some of the fat.

The sauce will usually be quite thick from the added flour, but for an even thicker sauce, simply use an immersion blender to blend the softened onions and a few potatoes.  Alternatively, heat just the pot with the sauce over medium-high heat to reduce until the sauce coats the back of a wooden spoon.  Or make a slurry of 2 tablespoons flour and 1/4 cup of water.  Pour into the simmering sauce and stir for a few minutes until adequately thickened.

The roast can be shredded or cut into chunks and mixed with the sauce.  Any large pieces of fat can be discarded right before serving.  Season the carrots and potatoes with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with parsley.  Enjoy!
