Beef Pot Roast

Beef Pot Roast

This is one meal prep recipe you will want to make again and again: Beef Pot Roast! This recipe has so much flavor due to slow cooking seared beef with onions, potatoes, carrots, and spices. It's fall-apart tender! You can make this in either the slow cooker or a Dutch oven or roasting pan.

 

NOTES: We suggest using top round, bottom round, chuck blade/shoulder, or sirloin tip roast for a leaner cut. 

 

Meal Prep Beef Pot Roast
Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds lean beef roast 
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. (6 cloves) garlic cloves, minced
1 cup red wine vinegar 
2 cups beef broth
2 cups onion, chopped
1 1/2 lb. red potatoes, quartered 
1 lb. whole carrots, chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme

 

Roasting directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

Season beef roast with salt and pepper and leave on counter for an hour to bring to room temperature. 

Sear beef in a hot pan over medium-high heat (4 minutes per side) until browned all over. Set aside on a plate. 

Add garlic to the hot pan, then red wine vinegar to deglaze the pan (scrape up browned bits with a spatula). 

Add beef broth, roast, onion, potatoes, and carrots (in that order of layers). 

Top with 2 sprigs of rosemary and roast at 350 for 3-3 1/2 hours.

Divide between meal prep containers and keep in fridge up to a week, or freezer up to a month.

 

Slow cooker directions:

Cover tightly and cook on LOW for 8 hours (preferred) or HIGH for 4 hours. 

Divide between meal prep containers and keep in fridge up to a week, or freezer up to a month.
