Taste of Home Boneless Beef Chuck Roast
Classic Sunday Pot Roast is an easy to make comfort food that is hearty, filling, and can easily feed the whole family. This recipe will work for a classic oven braise as well as in a slow cooker or Instant Pot.
When it comes to a Sunday dinner in America, there's nothing quite as classic as pot roast. Of course, the day of the week doesn't really matter, pot roast is a delicious dinner any day of the week. This meal is full of nostalgia, when the only time we ever had pot roast was for a large family dinner or special occasion. We seemed to always get served way too small of portions, leaving us unsatisfied and wanting more. Now, we get to make pot roast as often as we want, and revel in the joy of deciding our own serving size. Once you make this pot roast, everyone will beg for more!
Pot Roast Vegetables:
The classic mix of vegetables to add on top of your pot roast include potatoes, onions, and carrots. We recommend using a white or sweet onion, but yellow onions often fair well during the slow braising process as well. Carrots can either be cut into chunks, or you can use baby carrots for easy preparation. We don't recommend slicing your carrots into thin discs because they tend to turn to mush. We recommend using either red potatoes or Yukon gold. If you choose to use russet potatoes, be sure to peel them first.
Best Roasts for Making Classic Sunday Pot Roast:
- Chuck Roast – tender, falls apart when finished and easily shredded
- Round Roast (bottom round, top round) – lean and easy to slice
- Beef Brisket – fattier option that gets super tender, but can still be sliced for serving
Slow Cooker Instructions:
Season the roast with salt and pepper as directed in step 2 of the recipe. Searing in oil in a skillet is an optional step. Searing your beef roast helps the fat render and seal in the moisture so it's worth the extra time and dishes. But we also recognize that one of the benefits of using a slow cooker is a short prep time so that you can throw everything in. Place the seared or un-seared meat directly into a slow cooker. Add in all remaining ingredients and cook on low 8 hours.
Pro Tip: It's better to cook pot roast on the low setting rather than the high setting. Your meat will be tender and delicious every time.
Instant Pot Instructions:
Follow this recipe as directed, but instead of searing and baking the roast in a large pot, you'll do all of this in your pressure cooker. Sear the roast as directed in step 2 using the sear setting on your electric pressure cooker. Cook the garlic, and deglaze the pan with liquids, and add in vegetables. Cook on high pressure for 60 minutes, followed by a 15 minute natural release. Then, switch the release valve to the venting position. Remove lid once steam has stopped coming out.
Pro Tip: the natural release portion of electric pressure cooking is an important step. We have found that if you release the pressure immediately after cooking, your beef may toughen up. Letting the pressure cooker sit for 15 minutes during the natural release stage produces a more tender result.
Storage and Reheating Instructions:
Pot roast is best served fresh. You may store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in an oven preheated to 350 degrees until warmed through.
