Beef Pot Roast is a type of stew wherein beef chuck is braised for several hours in low heat until it becomes very tender. The process also involves the browning of beef wherein beef is seared in a Dutch oven until the browning effect kicks-in. This produces a distinctive taste that makes pot roasts taste better.
Pot roasts such as this is often cooked using a Dutch oven. It is a type of thick metal pot that can be cooked on a stovetop; it can also be placed inside the oven to cook for longer periods of time.
I enjoyed making Beef Pot Roast because the entire process was simple. I think that the browning part (wherein the beef was seared until it turned brown) was the only time that I needed to keep an eye on the pot. After placing it in the oven, it’s the oven timer’s job to let me know when its ready (assuming that I did not forget to set the timer).
The result was a delicious tender (I mean really tender) beef dish that I enjoyed with mashed potato. It was superb and totally worth the wait.
