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

@nataliie yes, I do mine almost the same way, just at 275 instead. Always comes out soooo juicy, tender, and flavorful. My dad loved so much, he went out to buy a Dutch oven to start making his the same way!

 

[achilles1973]

@nataliie do mine that way also

@nataliie That looks delicious and I agree the oven cooks roast so much better than a crockpot

@nataliie do you have to use a Dutch oven or could I just use a pan and put foil on top. I don’t have a Dutch oven

 

[nataliie]

@orangelight before I had my Dutch ovens, I used a cast iron skillet for the stovetop part and then put it all in a 9X13 pan and covered with foil. Works just fine that way too.

@nataliie update: thank you for your advice. I cooked it a bit longer. It worked! I think my problem was not cooking it enough.

 

[nataliie]

@orangelight so glad it worked and that you enjoyed it!!!

@nataliie, that's the best way I found to make a good, tender roast.

@nataliie the Dutch oven always makes a great roast

@nataliie I recommend the dutch oven cooking method as well.

Cannot cook a chuck roast in a reasonable amount of time. 6-8 hours needed in a crockpot.

 

[satamymaster]

Sear, put in crock fat side up so that as it cooks it makes the meat moist, about a cup of broth and your veggies. Perfect every time!

@satamymaster This is how I do it. I do prefer Chuck roast they always turn out very tender.

 

[satamymaster]

@shacky yes very tender. My favorite!

 

[tabutts]

Cook it in a bag, always tender

Crockpot, I just put it in the morning and by dinner it's ready.

Low and slow is the secret. It takes at least 6 to 8 hours

Put Italian dressing on it slow cook it or there is an Italian dry mix u get and then add banna peppers on top slow cook

Crockpot always. On low and 5-6 hours. 1 cup of beef broth and seasoning of your choice.

Tender pot roast & reasonable about of time don’t belong in the same sentence. The longer and lower heat it cooks, the more tender. Crock pot for 8 hours, low heat.
I also always do a top round roast. My fav is top with sliced 1/2c butter, sprinkle with au jus packet, sprinkle with dry ranch packet, and add 6ish pepperocinis
