Beef Pot Roast

Gravy

Fries

Toppings

Method

Beef Pot Roast

  1. 1

    Sear the Roast

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

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slow Cook the Roast

    Pour in the beef broth and add thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

  4. 4

    Shred the Beef

    Once cooked, remove the roast from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding it using two forks. Set aside the drippings for gravy.

Gravy

  1. 5

    Make the Gravy

    In a saucepan, heat the beef drippings over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute until golden. Gradually add water, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Fries

  1. 6

    Cook the Fries

    Prepare the frozen French fries according to package instructions, either baking or frying until golden and crispy.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Poutine

    On a plate, layer the crispy fries, top with the shredded beef pot roast, pour over the gravy, and finish with white cheddar cheese curds. Serve immediately.
