BY FAR THE BEST POT ROAST I"VE EVER MADE!!!!!!! This recipe is amazing
I had tried a variety of pot roast recipes and they all came out fine. This one, however, takes it to a different level. Maybe it is the combination of mustard and balsamic, regardless my family loves it! It has become a Christmas Day Holiday favorite made the day before so all the flavors meld together and easier on me too.
This is the best pot roast we have ever made. It is so flavorful and it never lasts that long in our house.
Great recipe! I found it a couple of years back. I make it a lot but I noticed a change, maybe last year. It used to say 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar. There was no mention of any red wine. You even said the balsamic vinegar was the key in tenderizing the roast. Now it has red wine and doesn’t mention vinegar. I was wondering why you changed it? Thanks!
Best pot roast recipe ever! We receive plenty of compliments when served. We make it in a crockpot with chuck roast. Initially, we did not have all ingredients on hand so we substituted as follows, and the dish turned out wonderfully so we subsequently use same subs:
* 2T Worcestershire sauce for bouillon
* 1/2c more beef broth (added to the 1c of beef broth) for dry red wine
One last tip, after searing & moving roast to the crockpot, remove pan from heat, pour beef broth into the pan, scrape the tasty bits off the pan with a spatula, then slowly add flour and mix (as stated in recipe clumps may remain as any lumps will break down with 8hrs of slow roasting).
Turns out tender and packed with flavor every time. Thanks for sharing!
I have cooked this recipe to death. I love pot roast and this recipie is so simple. The only thing, i think, would make it better is adding the onion, minced garlic, and celery in way later on as when it cooks down the onion garlic celery combo becomes mushy and is reduced completely so they don't appear in the finished product. Also when the onion becomes mush like that it leave a horrible aftertaste. I discovered this and conclude it is the onion when cooked too long leave a slightly unpleasant aftertaste.
Tried this today and it was amazing! Definitely making it again.
This recipe was a great find! Only thing I changed was using rosemary instead of thyme (which I was out of). It was DELISH! Can hardly wait for leftovers tomorrow! Thanks!!
Thank you for sharing your lovely recipe. The roast was fantastic. It easily fell apart and tasted devine, just as good as it smelled. Made as written for a wonderful meal, the only difference was I used a fig balsamic, it was all I had on hand, it worked really well in the dish. I'll be making this recipe often.
I made this tonight and it was totally delicious! Saving this and will be making again soon!
