Few things feel as welcoming as walking through your front door and smelling a savory, home-cooked meal waiting for you. A classic pot roast offers the ultimate comfort food experience, delivering tender beef, perfectly cooked vegetables, and a rich, savory gravy.
Making a restaurant-quality pot roast at home does not require advanced culinary skills or spending your entire Sunday hovering over a hot stove. By utilizing your trusty slow cooker, you can let time and low heat do all the heavy lifting for you.
Notes
1
Drizzle oil over meat then season with seasoned salt, celery salt, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper.
2
In a large cast iron or skillet over medium high heat add oil then place beef in skillet. Sear turning every few minutes until well brown on all sides (about 12 minutes).
3
Remove beef and set a side, using the same skillet over medium heat add butter, chopped onion, celery and baby carrots. Sauté for five minutes then season with black pepper, thyme, celery salt and season salt, stir then add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
4
Transfer vegetables into a crockpot, add potatoes then add roast on top.
5
In a bowl add red wine and beef broth, stir and pour over roast. Place the lid on and cook on high for 5 hours or low for 7 hours.
6
About 20 minutes before the roast is ready, add the green beans to the crockpot. This should allow them to cook lightly, so they still have a bit of crunch.
7
Turn off the crockpot and transfer the beef, carrots and green beans, to a large serving dish.
8
Transfer the cooking juices to a small pot and bring to a boil. In a separate bowl add cornstarch and some of that cooking juice and stir. Slowly pour in that cornstarch slurry stirring until the sauce thickens. You may not need all of the slurry.
9
Slice the roast and serve with the vegetables, potatoes, and gravy.
