How to Cook a Tender Pot Roast: Tips and Recipes for a 3lb Chuck Roast Using Slow Cooker, Pressure Cooker, or Oven

[elaine1960]

Slow and low

 

[taii3]

Crockpot on low all day

 

[calluknet]

Pressure cook for 2 hrs. It will fall apart so tender

Never fails: Season well with S+P G+O sear it on all sides- my preference is a Dutch oven.
Remove from pan and add a cut onion - I like strips- and about 5 cloves of garlic. Cook for a few minutes and add half a box of beef broth to deglaze pan.
Put the roast back in. Cover with lid. Put in oven 325 for 3 hours.
Perfection.

What's reasonable? To get out super tender you have to cook it low and slow

Do you brown it first?

I cut mine up in chunks, remove fat, then put in water and cook low and slow or in a crock pot.

Crock pot on low, roast, beef broth, 1 packet onion soup mix. Put in right before bed if for lunch next day, or first thing in the morning for supper. If it's a large roast for supper, I usually do high for a few hours first, then down to low.

Sear first, liquid only go up to middle of roast, put in Dutch oven at 300 degrees covered until tender. Up to 5-6 hours.

Put your chuck roast in the slow cooker. Put one pack of brown gravy and one pack of Hidden Valley Ranch. Put one stick of butter on top and 5 pepperoncini. You will absolutely love the way this turns out.

[kevinfd1985]

@ekklesia No water. I promise it will be so tender.
