    This is a great dish. The technique of using an immersion blender to puree the aromatics into a sauce is superb! I always use more of the herbs and vegetables to increase the quantity of the sauce. I extend the liquid with good stock. There is no need for cornstarch. I serve it with roasted fingerling potatoes and carrots and crusty Pugliese bread.

    This was some of the best roast and gravy I have had. I didn't feel it was too time consuming, followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. Definitely a keeper!

    The roast taste fine and the gravy is easy just blending the veggies. But the prep time takes too long. First caramelizing the onions and shallots and then cooking the carrots and celery. Too many steps. I really like Paula Deen's recipe much better, maybe a little less healthy but how often do you eat a roast anyway. The taste is far superior to this recipe and takes much less time!! Find her recipe on this Foodnetwork web site, at paula-deen/pot-roast-recipe2/index.html She has a couple of them and this is the one I love

    I have to say I was a little disappointed. After reading all the other reviews I was expecting something with a little more "WOW" to the flavors. I have made several of Guy's recipes in the past and have been pleased with most all of them. I followed this recipe to the letter and have to say it was no better nor worse than your average Pot Roast. Additionally, you wind up with close to 1 1/2 quarts of vegetable sauce/gravy left over which is also on the bland side. I would suggest cutting the vegetables and broth by at least 1/3. 12 people could not have eaten all that sauce. Needless to say, I will probably not be making this dish again

    This is THE BEST pot roast I've ever had (Sorry, mom. The gravy is definitely on another level!

    I must say in the end, there's a lot more gravy than you need for your beef and sides (mashed potatoes like most of us relax, this is not a complain, I will be saving the rest of the gravy and will use it for more meals.

    Every single tear I shed, cutting the onions were worth it! My boyfriend already said he wants me to cook this for his mom. Points for me! Thanks mama Fieri!

    As a child, I hated pot roast. My husband has been after me for years to make it. I enjoy cooking, so I didn't mind the time it took to prepare.This recipe was AWESOME, Clearly not my mama's pot roast. The vegetable gravy was great over the roast and mashed potatoes.I will absolutely try it again. I know my sons would totally love this when they come home from college.

    Better than your mama's!!!!! This was the best pot roast I have ever tried. The cooking time was perfect for a tender roast. The veggie gravy was a hit. If I could give this dish more than 5 stars I would. Thank you Guy for an amazing dish!

    Made in the slow cooker leaving out the mushrooms and it turned out fantastic. The gravy was to die for over mashed potatoes.
