Ingredients for Alcohol-Free Pot Roast
This pot roast recipe is designed to be easy, wholesome, and family-friendly.
Main Ingredients:
- Beef Chuck Roast: 3–4 pounds, trimmed of excess fat.
- Sea of Herbs’ Steak Spice: 2–3 tablespoons, depending on your taste.
- Carrots: 4–5 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks.
- Potatoes: 6 medium potatoes, quartered.
- Onion: 1 large onion, chopped.
- Garlic: 3–4 cloves, minced.
- Beef Broth: 2 cups.
- Tomato Paste: 2 tablespoons.
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons for searing.
- Water: 1 cup.
- Bay Leaves: 2, for added aroma.
- Fresh Thyme (optional): A few sprigs for garnish.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Roast
- Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels.
- Generously rub the entire roast with Sea of Herbs’ Steak Spice. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
2. Sear the Beef
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Sear the roast on all sides until it’s golden brown. This process locks in the juices and enhances the flavor.
- Remove the seared roast and set it aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables
- In the same pan, sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant.
- Add the tomato paste and stir until combined, cooking for about 2 minutes.
4. Deglaze the Pan
- Pour in the beef broth and water, scraping the bottom of the pan to release the flavorful bits.
5. Assemble the Pot Roast
- Place the seared roast back into the pan.
- Add the carrots, potatoes, bay leaves, and thyme (if using) around the roast.
6. Slow Cook
- Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a slow cooker.
- Cook for 4–5 hours on the stovetop (or 6–8 hours on low in a slow cooker) until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
7. Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving.
- Arrange the beef and vegetables on a platter, spoon the sauce over the top, and enjoy!
Tips for the Perfect Pot Roast
- Choose the Right Cut of Beef: A chuck roast is ideal because it becomes tender and flavorful when slow-cooked.
- Don’t Skip the Sear: This step caramelizes the beef’s surface, creating a deeper flavor.
- Season Generously: Sea of Herbs’ Steak Spice is key to this dish, so be sure to use enough for bold flavor.
- Customize Your Veggies: While this recipe uses carrots and potatoes, feel free to add parsnips or turnips for variety.
