The Best Pot Roast Ever…No Seriously. Ever!

Beef, Recipes
Posted on

Pot Roast. Classic. Slow cooked. Tender. Words that come to mind when Pot Roast comes to mind. Get it? Okay, anyway, I’m giving you the best one ever. 


Searing the roast before placing it in the oven helps make it fork tender and juicy.
Don’t forge the fresh herbs! You know Rosemary is my favorite. But, combining that flavor with thyme gives the beef something extra special.

Allow the roast to cook for awhile before adding the veggies. I used Idaho potatoes and carrots.

Don’t worry. The gravy will be perfectly thick and ready to serve over rice!
