Dutch Oven Pot Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Season roast with salt and pepper and coat with 2 tablespoons flour. Heat oil in a large 6- to 8-quart Dutch oven. Brown the roast on all sides in the hot oil, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in remaining flour to absorb remaining oil. Add beef broth, wine, onion, soup mix, marjoram, Worcestershire, and bay leaves. Add enough water to cover.
• Cover and simmer on medium-low heat until tender, about 2 hours. Add carrots and potatoes. Continue to cook until vegetables are tender, about 1 hour. If gravy is too thin, uncover and continue to simmer until liquid evaporates and gravy thickens, about 20 minutes more. Remove bay leaves from gravy when serving.

Steps:

• Cover pot roast with 3 slices of bacon and place in a Dutch oven coated with olive oil. Place the garlic cloves in the pot as well. Sear all 4 sides of the pot roast. After searing place 16 ounces of beef broth and 16 ounces of beer and water to top it off. Add the salt, pepper, white pepper, and cumin, to taste. Cover the pot and let it slow cook for about 1 hour. After an hour add bay leaves and whole black peppercorn. Let it slow cook for another hour. Lastly, add red potatoes, onion, crushed red pepper and cook for another hour.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
• Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
• If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
• With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
• Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
