This is as basic (& good! a pot roast as you'll ever find, and almost exactly the recipe my family has been making for over 100 years.
Only differences are the addition of 1 Tbl Worchestershire, and we usually add cut up parsnips. Also mushrooms if you like. Roast some Brussel sprouts or Asparagus for a side dish. Besides the mash, note that it also is excellent served over a pile of buttered broad noodles. One of the best condiments is Piccalilly relish, but it's very hard to find anymore. You might be able to find it regionally. (The best was made by Forman's in upstate NY, and B&G made it for a time. Also suggested is a splash of good red wine vinegar.

Great recipe! A perfect Dutch oven potroast receipe that doesn't take a huge amount of time and so easy to make. I added potatoes, carrots and mushrooms during the last 45 minutes or so, and it all turned just awesome! I also served this with some fresh made garlic bread to dip in all that broth. You can't mess this one up...delicious!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR SHOW! I am a city girl turned farm wife & a homeschooling mom, so I can REALLY relate to you! We also raise cattle, so have lots of beef. My roasts are always on the dry side, and I have never been able to figure out the problem until I watched your show this week. Duh! What an eye-opener! Finally ... a delicious pot roast. (And to think that I was actually going to have ALL the roasts made into burger the next time we butcher!

I made the Pot Roast, it was so good and tender, but I put it in a crock pot, so I could run errands, my family enjoy every bit of it. I will make it again.

We loved this - super easy and delicious. I've made a dozen pot roast recipes over the years and this was the best to date, I believe, because of the searing to the veggies and using the chuck roast which was easy to sear. It helps to have a heavy duty dutch oven - worth every penny to invest in one (found one at TJMAXX at good price. So much better this way vs. a crock pot and just as easy. It's also important to use a decent red wine - doesn't have to be expensive, get a decent bottle for $5-8 on sale these days. It's the perfect Sunday meal where the house smells good while it's cooking and the family will be asking when dinner is ready for hours! I served w/ Melissa D's buttered noodles w/ sour cream.

I have always made my roasts in a slow cooker. Yes browned and transfered, but they have never come out this tender, and taken 3x as long.
One word - AMAZING!!
There are 3 teenage boys (4 including hubby and me. There were not only no leftovers, but they were fighting over who got seconds and who went without. It's not like it was a small roast either - 5lbs.
I agree with no potatoes in the cooking process, the texture just isn't quite right. Thank goodness I made extra mashed potatoes and had a salad as well.
Thanks Ree...Will become a staple in my house.

OMGoodness! I've always had somewhat success with throwing my roast in the crockpot and cooking it that way, but nothing compares to this recipe! My family only had great things to say about supper tonight...thanks Ree!

I like others enjoy Ree's show and this was a perfect meal to cook on low heat and have it ready after Church! I like her values and I must say it's very refreshing to watch her show.

OMG, I made this recipe and hubby and I totally loved it. I've never used thyme and rosemary to roast beef. I'm the onion soup girl. No more! The flavor was incredible. The carrots were not mushy either. I ended up cooking 4 and half hours. I followed the recipe exact with the beef broth, no wine. And the house smelled fabulous. Even the neighbors could smell it while outside. I bet they were jealous! Thank you Ree, for a wonderful recipe.
