Wednesday: Pot Roast Recipe

Pot Roast Preparation

1. 1

   Searing the Meat

   Season the chuck roast with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

2. 2

   Preparing the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Slow Cooking

   Transfer the seared roast to a slow cooker. Add the sautéed vegetables, beef broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours until the meat is tender.
