meet me in the kitchen let's make it happen first things first we gotta get our prep work out of the way and that means we need to prep some potatoes we have some celery some carrots some garlic and some onions go ahead and peel those carrots then we'll cut them into about an inch and a half size pieces you can really cut them however you want honestly we're going to add them towards the end that way they don't get too soggy i like to cut mine in half like you see right here there we go no right or wrong way to do this guys prep your veggies however you want you can really add whatever veggies you want also if you don't like carrots you can leave them out if you don't like celery you can leave that out as well i like all three so we're going with the carrots celery and the onion just like a traditional pot roast calls for once the veggies are prepped we're gonna go ahead and add our potatoes to a mixing bowl and we're gonna clean them up today i'm using yukon gold and red just for a little additional color but you can use whatever potatoes you want i'm gonna run them under some cold water make sure they get nice and clean get in there with your hands and clean them up and now my friends it's time to move on to the chuck roast when you're shopping for a chuck roast you want to try to find one that's nice and even this one is almost perfectly square so i lucked up you also want to be looking for good marbling and marbling is basically the white lines of fat that you see throughout the meat that indicates that it has a good fat content it'll get nice and tender when you braise it so now that we picked the right piece of meat from the store it's time to season it with the right seasonings and i have the dynamic duo here we have the original all-purpose and the spicy all-purpose you can get that via the link in my description box if you haven't tried it already there's a discount code for you there as well but you can also use whatever seasoning you like guys a little salt pepper garlic onion powder some cayenne pepper if you want to add a little spice a little smoked paprika maybe really season it with whatever you like on your pot roast i'm keeping it pretty simple nice blend of salt pepper garlic and onion powder now this is a two and a half pound piece of meat so don't be shy with the seasoning you want to make sure you season it adequately my seasoning is also low sodium so you can go a little bit heavier with that if your seasoning that you're using at home is not low sodium you're watching your salt content you might want to tone it back a little bit so next we're going to go ahead and heat our dutch oven over medium-high heat add a little avocado oil and then we're going to place this pot roast down into that skillet pressing down firmly to ensure it's making maximum surface area contact with our dutch oven this is super important guys you really want to sear your pot roast until it gets nice and brown on all sides oh man that looks good same concept as cooking a steak basically the searing process is very important adds color and flavor to your pot roast so sear that bad boy for three to four minutes per side or until it's brown and beautiful like you see right here tons of flavor getting locked in right there we're gonna go ahead and remove it place it on a plate until we need it for later but that is a beautiful sear i might say all right now we're going in with the tomato paste and one tablespoon of better than bouillon beef base as always guys specific measurements and ingredients are provided for you in the description box below so don't forget to check that out we did skim off a little bit of the oil we're gonna go ahead and give those two products a good mix into the dutch oven and then we're going in with some red wine you're going to bring that up to a boil and reduce that down to a simmer so we can cook off the alcohol if you don't want to cook with wine i totally understand no big deal you can just use some beef stock there instead once it comes up to a boil you want to continue whisking constantly then you'll reduce the heat down to a simmer we're going in with one head of garlic that we chopped the top off of and we're going in with one onion as well just to give our pot roast a nice bed to sit on and then we're going to cover it with some beef stock we're going in with about four cups of beef stock or until the pot roast is covered by about halfway you don't want it fully submerged you just want it to braise in there you don't necessarily want it to boil inside the liquid we're also going to add some herbs and aromatics so we're going with some thyme and some rosemary we already got the garlic in there got to go in with a tablespoon the worst word in the world sauce we're also going to add in one tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce as well the better than bouillon product does have quite a bit of sodium in it so you shouldn't need to salt it much more than that we're gonna bring this back up to a simmer and then we're gonna cover it with a lid and place it in a 325 degree oven for about two and a half to three hours or until the pot roast is nice and tender during the last 20 minutes that's when we're going in with our vegetables so we're going to add in the potatoes going in with the rest of our onions the carrots the celery this is important because if you do it at the beginning then everything's going to get real mushy and i don't really like that so i like to do it just like this once you have everything submerged in that liquid we're going to cover it with the lid and place it back into that 325 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are nice and tender and then we're going to give the pot roast a fork test to ensure that that is tender as well it should pull apart very easily with two forks like you see right here that is a great indicator that your pot roast is tender enough that's how i like mine oh man early little money shot we're gonna go ahead and remove the pot roast into a platter as you can see it's plenty tender it's breaking apart all over the place and then we're gonna strain our liquid so using this mesh strainer right here we're gonna strain the liquid to make our gravy and this is gonna be a fantastic gravy guys trust me on this one once you have it strained we're going to add that liquid back to our dutch oven bring that up to a boil and then we're going to make a slurry which is a combination of cold water and cornstarch give that a good whisk and that's going to help thicken up our gravy so we're gonna pour that into our braising liquid bring that up to a boil once it reaches a boil you'll notice that it starts to thicken up pretty quickly you can add more or less of a slurry depending on how thick you want your gravy consistency to be oh man look at that gravy it's all about the gravy baby can't wait to eat this pot roast this is one of my favorite cold weather foods right here let me know what you think in the comments let me know what other recipes you want to see i know i have a pot roast recipe already on the channel but we wanted to reshoot it now that the
