This is my favorite pot roast that I like to call EVERYONE’S favorite pot roast! That’s because everyone who eats it absolutely loves it! My mom and Nana have been making it since I can remember and needless to say, it’s a total crowd pleaser. Everyone who tries it immediately asks for the recipe! It’s hearty, nourishing, tasty, and the ultimate comfort food. I personally love how easy it is to make and that it only requires one pot (unless you add rice and cook that separately). You have to try it this season!
How To Make Everyone’s Favorite Pot Roast
Here’s a video of how I made everyone’s favorite pot roast! For another delicious meal, check out my Red Wine Braised Short Ribs recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chuck roast (any cut works but I recommend chuck roast – trim the fat, if desired)
- Seasoning (generously season the meat with garlic salt, favorite beef seasoning, fresh cracked pepper, and course sea salt)
- 1/2 yellow onion
- 1 tomato
- 3 potatoes
- 1 pound green beans, cleaned and cut in half
- 4 cups beef broth
- Splash of red wine
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 teaspoons corn starch mixed with a little water to create a slurry to thicken
Recipe Method
- Generously season the roast. Heat the oil on medium high heat and sear roast on all sides.
- Add the onions, tomatoes, splash of wine, beef broth and tomato sauce, then bring to a boil. Cover and lower to medium heat. Let this sit and simmer for approximately 2 hours or until fork tender.
- Once roast is fork tender add potatoes and green beans. Bring to a boil, cover, and let simmer for 15 – 20 minutes (until the vegetables are cooked).
- Once the vegetables are cooked, add then corn starch mixture and stir quickly.
- Serve on a bed of rice or quinoa, drizzle with gravy in pot, season with fresh cracked pepper & enjoy!
