Pot Roast Ingredients:

I’ve given you three ways to cook the roast but the ingredients are all the same. It’s one of those hearty meals that brings everyone together around the table for good conversation and great memories.

Olive Oil: Can use Canola oil, but I like the extra bit of flavor the Olive Oil adds.
Chuck Roast: 3-4 pound roast. If your roast is much bigger, you’ll need to adjust the seasonings to accommodate so you have enough flavor
Salt and Pepper: This is for generously seasoning the roast before searing.
Carrots: Use large carrots you have to cut yourself, they have so much more flavor than baby carrots.
Potatoes: The best potatoes for putting in a roast are yellow, golden or Yukon potatoes.
Onion: Yellow or white onions are flavorful but mellow enough to add flavor but not over power.
Beef Broth: Make your own or buy from your local store located usually near the soups.
Red Wine: The alcohol will cook off and your left with flavor and tenderness, but if you’d like a substitute use apple juice, cranberry juice or more beef broth.
Worcestershire Sauce: Boosts and intensifies the meaty flavor
Garlic: Use fresh minced garlic for the best taste.
Onion and Garlic Powder: Using powder helps enhance the flavor.
Salt and Pepper: This is to add to the sauce.

The main premise of putting it together is the same for all three methods. So whether you use a slow cooker, Instant Pot or the Oven it will always be melt in your mouth delicious.

Sear: For the oven and slow cooker, heat the oil over medium high heat in a cast iron skillet or heavy frying pan. Salt and pepper the roast generously rubbing it in good. Once the oil starts to smoke sear each side of the roast for 2-3 minutes to give it a nice dark brown crust. If using an Instant Pot use the saute button. Wait till it says “Hot” before adding the oil and once it smokes sear the roast on all sides. Remove the roast from the instant pot.
Assemble: In the slow cooker, instant pot or a large casserole dish place the carrots, potatoes and onions into the bottom. Next place the meat on top. In a small bowl combine the beef broth, red wince, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion and garlic powder and salt and pepper. Pour over the roast.
Cook: In the Slow Cooker cook on low for 10 hours or till tender. In the Instant Pot cook on high for 60 minutes and natural release. For the oven cover tightly with foil or a fitted oven safe lid and cook at 425 for ONLY 30 min then turn the oven down to 300 for 4-5 hours.

The steps to making melt in your mouth pot roast with tender carrots and potatoes

Tips for The Best Pot Roast:

It’s all about the Beef: For that super tender roast it starts with the cut of meat. You want a cut that has lots of marbling. Which means it’s got lots of striations of fat running through it. This produces that amazing texture. Chuck Roast is the ideal cut, Brisket is another heavily marbled meat. Bottom or Top Round roasts are leaner and won’t be as tender.
Why Sear: Don’t skip this essential step. Searing the meat at a high temperature brings out the most flavor in the meat by caramelizing the natural sugars and brings out the savory flavor of the beef with it’s rich brown crust. It will also seal in those amazing juices. Make sure your pan is HOT. If your pan isn’t hot enough you will steam the meat which can actually make it tough.
Simplify: You can make the morning prep faster for yourself by prepping the veggies the night before. Place in a sealed container or bag in the fridge till morning
Size: Size of meat and vegetables matter. If your roast is too large for your pan, pot or cooker you can cut it down to fit. Sear the cut pieces individually before adding them. If your roast is overly large you may want to add a little extra spices to your sauce. Cut all the veggies to roughly the same size for even cooking. Chunk your onions don’t finely chop them. I find they give off more flavor and don’t turn to mush.
Low and Slow: To achieve the perfect tenderness it is always best to cook your roasts long and low. It will yield the best flavor and texture.

Storing and Freezing:

STORE: Cool the roast and vegetables and store in an air tight container for up to 4 days.
Freeze: Freeze the roast in a freezer safe container or bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in a pan on the stove in it’s sauce or microwave.

They are super simple and easy to make too. It just takes a little time, but it’s really hard to mess these up. If you’re new to working with yeast, this is a great first recipe to try.

Parker House Ingredients:

The milk, butter and egg in these rolls create an enriched dough which makes the rolls super soft.

Milk: The more fat in the milk the richer the dough
Warm Water: Make sure it’s between 95 and 110 degrees to activate but not kill the yeast
Sugar: Slightly sweetens the dough but mostly feeds the yeast.
Active Dry Yeast: There is a difference between Active and Instant and both can be used here. If you use Instant you don’t have to let the yeast proof.
Butter: Add flavor and softness
Egg: Extra large eggs are my go to for extra rich bread.
Flour: Unbleached bread flour will yield a nice rise to your rolls.
Salt: Essential is bringing flavor to the rolls.

How to Make the Dough:

Bread of any kind always takes a little bit of time, but these are so worth it!

Warm: Microwave the milk until just warm, but do not scald it. Then add it to a stand mixer along with the warm water, sugar and yeast. Stir and let the yeast proof for 5-10 min. If you use Instant yeast you can skip the proofing step.

Indent the middle of each circle with a wooden skewer or handle of a spoon, and brush with melted butter. Fold in half and place in a 9×13 inch greased pan.

What are Parker House Rolls?

Where did they Originate: Parker House Rolls were accidentally invented in the 1870’s by an angry baker. The story goes that the baker who worked at the Parker House Hotel in Boston was mad after an altercation with a hotel guest and threw an unfinished pan of rolls in the oven. The folded over appearance, created a buttery light as a feather texture like pocket on the inside and a golden buttery top on the outside. By the late 1870’s the recipe was appearing in cookbooks and has been a family favorite ever since.
Shape: If you troll the internet you’ll discover Parker House Rolls in all sorts of shapes. The classic original however is the one I have here. Folding the circles in half will give you that original pocket for your butter or jam, but there is no wrong way to fold, roll or shape your roll. They will all taste amazing.

When ready to bake bring the rolls out 30 min. prior to baking and then bake as directed.
