Crockpot Pot Roast



Crock-pot Pot Roast

4-5 lb. pot roast (I like bottom round)
½ cup flour plus more for dusting
olive oil
2 large celery stalks (cut in chunks_
1 or 2 large onions (cut in quarters)
4 -5 garlic cloves smashed
4 tbsp. tomato paste
1.5 cups red wine
3.5 cups beef broth

1.      Sprinkle 2 tsps salt all over roast
2.      Coat in flour and shake off excess
3.      Coat non-stick pan in olive oil and brown roast on all sides (about 10 minutes total)
4.      Scatter diced celery and onion on bottom of large crock-pot.
5.      Place browned roast on top of veggies
6.      In separate pan, combine tomato paste, garlic, red wine and beef broth slowly adding ½ cup flour while bringing to a simmer.  Simmer and stir until gravy thickens (5 minutes)
7.      Pour gravy mixture over roast and cover crock-pot, cooking on low for 8 hours.


I like to roast carrots, potatoes and onion on a sheet pan and serve as side to the pot roast.  (Besides, how are you going to fit the veggies into the crock-pot with such a big roast!!)

10 large carrots, peeling and cut in half
3 large onions, quartered
1 -2 bags new potatoes or any potatoes you may have.  (if large cut potatoes in quarters).

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix veggies with a coating of olive oil and salt.
Roast for 40 minutes, turning halfway through.

This is one of my go-to snowy day recipes.  Absolutely yum-yum!!!
