Best Pot Roast Recipe for Instant Pot
Pot roast is a classic Sunday night dinner. Oftentimes, pot roast was saved for Sundays because it had to be cooked low and slow, oftentimes all day. The beef that is used for pot roast is a cheaper cut that is often tough unless it was cooked this way. With this recipe, pot roast doesn’t have to be an all day affair. Make the best pot roast when you make it in the Instant Pot.
What are Pot Roast Vegetables
When you make a pot roast, it creates the most flavorful liquid. When you cook the pot roast vegetables in this liquid, the veggies take on all of the flavors. The vegetables get soft and flavorful and have a taste that you just can’t get any other way than cooking it together. Typically when people talk about pot roast vegetables, it is carrots and potatoes. Sometimes, celery and onions are added as well.
What is Pot Roast Seasoning
When making pot roast, you want to make sure it is seasoned well. Pot Roast has a specific taste and flavor and you might want to make sure that is the flavor you are going with. When I make this pot roast, I like to season it with garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley flakes, salt and pepper, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and beef broth. These seasonings together will give a tasty and delicious pot roast.
Best Beef for Pot Roast
When you are making pot roast, there isn’t a specific cut of meat that is used. In general, pot roast is a meat that is best when cooked slow, low and braised. It is usually a cheaper cut of meat because when it is cooked fast it tends to be tough. When looking for the best beed for pot toast try:
- Beef Chuck roast – This is one of the most common choices when it comes to making pot roast. Sometimes, this cut is even labeled pot roast.
- Beef brisket – This is often used when it comes to doing BBQ, like being used in a smoker. It is another meat that works best when cooked long and slow.
- Bottom round roast- Most commonly used for roast beef, this is another excellent choice when it comes to making pot roast.
What to Do With Leftover Pot Roast
Whenever you have leftover pot roast, you can eat it again as the same type of meal, like pot roast and vegetables. You can also use the pot roast as a sandwich. Use a good bread, like fresh baked, thick but as well as rye or pumpernickel. Use a little mayo and horseradish and you have a great tasting way to use leftover pot roast.
