Slow-Cooked Pot Roast
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds beef pot roast, fat trimmed and discarded
  • 3 potatoes, peeled and cut into 6 pieces
  • 1 large onion, cut into 8 pieces
  • 2 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 1/2 cups water, divided
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon browning sauce (such as Gravy Master®)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) for optimal results.
2
Position the roast in a spacious baking dish; arrange the potatoes, onion, carrots, and celery around the roast to create a visually appealing presentation.
3
Add 3 cups of water to the baking dish, taking care not to overflow. Season the roast with salt, pepper, and garlic salt for added flavor.
4
Cover the pan with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning during the cooking process.
5
Bake the roast in the preheated oven for approximately 3 hours, or until it reaches a perfectly browned and cooked state.
6
Transfer the roast to an oven-safe serving platter, taking care not to damage the dish.
7
Remove the vegetables from the baking pan using a slotted spoon and arrange them artfully around the roast.
8
Reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (95 degrees Celsius) for a more subtle heat distribution.
9
Place the platter with roast and vegetables in the oven to maintain a warm temperature throughout the meal.
10
Pour the remaining pan juices into a saucepan, bringing them to a rolling boil for added flavor.
11
Mix the remaining 1/2 cup of water with cornstarch in a bowl until you achieve a smooth consistency; pour this mixture into the boiling pan juices.
12
Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens to your liking; season with salt and pepper for added depth.
13
Stir in the browning sauce to enhance the overall flavor profile of your dish.
