Perfect Pot Roast & Vegetables
I tried many times over the years to make pot roast in the crock pot. Everyone always raves about crock pot roast being so tender and juicy, but I never once got a tender, juicy roast out of my crock pot. Seriously, how do people rave over crock pot roast? It just never gets tender for me.
However, I learned how to make delicious pot roast the "traditional" way (aka oven) and have perfected the methods of my own recipe over the last couple years.
This recipe comes out fork tender every single time, and it's always bursting with flavor. This is definitely best suited for a weekend meal if you're a busy cook. It's a lengthy process, but worth the effort!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Let roast sit out at room temp while you prep all your veggies. Set veggies aside, but do not mix. Place only the potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent discoloration.
- 2
Generously sprinkle roast with salt and pepper on all sides (this is a large piece of meat, more flavor/seasoning on the outside=better flavor inside).
- 3
Heat a large dutch oven (or other heavy bottomed, oven safe pot) over medium high heat - you seriously want this thing scorching for the best sear. Add oil. As soon as it shimmers use good tongs to place roast in pot, fat side down.
- 4
Sear roast on all sides, do not turn to new side until currently cooking side easily releases from the pot (you'll see what I mean). When roast is nicely browned on all sides pull out of pot and place on a plate off to the side. Preheat oven to 450°F at this time.
- 5
Reduce stove top heat to medium. Add onion and crushed garlic to the pot. Sautée 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add flour and cook 2 minutes more, wisking constantly.
- 6
Wisk in broth and marsala. Bring to a simmer wisking frequently, until sauce just begins to thicken. Do not season at this time. Return roast to pot. Turn to coat in sauce, finishing fat side up.
- 7
Arrange veggies around roast layered: turnips first, then parsnips, carrots, and potatoes last. The potatoes do not need to be fully submerged, and your roast will not be fully submerged. This is what you want. Place lid on pot. Place pot in oven. Reduce oven heat to 250°F immediately. Cook roast covered 2.5 - 3 hrs.
- 8
Remove from oven. Using tongs, transfer roast to a cutting board. Tent with foil to rest at least 10 minutes, DO NOT cut immediately. Use a slotted spoon to remove veggies from pot to a platter, tent with foil to keep warm.
- 9
Place pot over medium high heat on stove top. Bring sauce to a rapid boil. Boil until reduced by half, stirring often. Taste (careul it's hot lol) and add salt and pepper as desired. Turn off heat.
- 10
To serve, thinly slice roast against the grain. Plate with veggies and drizzle with sauce. Enjoy!

See notes below ⤵
- 12
Note 1: If you do not want to use marsala add an additional 1/2 cup of beef broth to substitute.
- 13
Note 2: For a smooth sauce pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove the broken down bits of onion and garlic. We personally like the extra pieces in ours.

Pot Roast - Instant Pot Pot Roast - Instant Pot
How to make Instant Pot pot roast that is so tender, it melts in your mouth. This easy recipe makes ultra-flavorful beef guaranteed to satisfy the entire family. Use an Instant Pot or another brand of electric pressure cooker. The best cuts of beef for pot roast are tougher cuts of meat like chuck, brisket, and round. Baby potatoes are optional. They get very soft and can be served whole or mashed and served alongside the pot roast.FAQ: If you do not have the same size cut of meat as called for in the recipe, assume 20 minutes of cook time for every pound of meat. So a 4-pound roast will need 80 minutes of cook time and a 5-pound roast will need 100 minutes of cook time.Source: https://www.inspiredtaste.net/41089/pressure-cooker-pot-roast/
