Description
A tender and flavorful pot roast slow-cooked to perfection, enveloped in a rich onion sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lb beef chuck roast
- 4 large onions, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups carrots, chopped
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tsp thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Sear the beef: Heat a skillet and brown that beautiful roast on all sides. Get it nice and caramelized; this is where the flavor party begins!
- Sauté the onions: In the same skillet, add your onions (and maybe a touch more oil). Cook until they’re golden and aromatic—think onion confetti!
- Deglaze the pan: Pour in that red wine and scrap up all the little brown bits. This adds depth and nuance like a fancy wine connoisseur.
- Combine everything: Throw your beef, onions, carrots, garlic, broth, herbs, and a sprinkle of love into the slow cooker or oven-safe dish.
- Let it roast: Let it slow-cook, kicking back while your house fills with the smell of a five-star restaurant.
- Enjoy the magic: Once it’s done, take a moment to admire your creation—seriously, you’ve earned it.
Notes
Serve this pot roast with mashed potatoes or egg noodles. Excellent for sandwiches too!
