Ozs Pot Roast In A Pocket Recipes

3-PACKET POT ROAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Place roast in the slow cooker (I use a 6 quart).
• In a mixing bowl mix 3 packets with 1 cup beef broth and pour over roast.
• Cover with the lid and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours.
• Remove from slow cooker and discard any fat and shred.
• To thicken gravy, if desired, in a small measuring cup mix 3 tablespoons of corn starch and 1/4 cup of water. Turn the slow cooker to high and pour the slurry in. Stir until combined. Place shredded roast back into the slow cooker and allow to thicken (about 30 minutes).
• If you want to sear the roast first, turn Instant Pot on Saute. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and coat the bottom. Add in roast and brown on all sides. (Cut roast in half if larger so it will fit nicely into Instant Pot) - Optional
• Press "Cancel" and pour beef broth into the bottom of the instant pot and remove any browned bits with a spatula (being sure to get under the roast too). I use a 6 Quart (If using a larger IP add the appropriate amount of liquid called for the size IP you are using).
• Sprinkle all 3 packets over the roast.
• Place on lid and make sure valve is in sealing position. Press "Manual Pressure" for 90 minutes.
• Do a "Natural Pressure Release" for 15 minutes and then open the valve to release the remaining pressure manually.
• Remove the lid and remove the roast to a serving plate.
• To thicken gravy add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to ¼ cup cold water and stir until dissolved. Pour cornstarch slurry into the Instant Pot and turn to saute. Simmer for 5 minutes to thicken.
• Shred or slice roast and return to Instant Pot once the sauce has thickened.

THE BEST POT ROAST

Steps:

• Sprinkle the roast with 3 tablespoons of the salt, rubbing into the grain and covering all sides. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 3 days.
• Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 275 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Cook the meat, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium-high and heat the remaining 4 tablespoons oil in the pot. Cook the onions and the remaining 1 tablespoon salt, stirring occasionally, until browned but not completely cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes (it's ok if the onion wedges break apart). Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until the paste is brick red and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bay leaves and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot, until slightly reduced and you can no longer smell the alcohol, about 4 minutes. Add the flour, stir to coat the onions and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the broth and pepper and bring to a boil.
• Nestle the meat and any accumulated juices into the onions. Arrange the carrots, celery and potatoes around the roast, pushing them into the onions and surrounding the beef. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook until the meat is very tender but still holds its shape and is not falling apart, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Let rest, covered, at least 45 minutes before serving.
• Transfer the roast to a cutting board and remove the twine with scissors, if necessary. Slice against the grain.
• Divide the vegetables among plates and arrange the sliced beef over top. Spoon sauce over the top garnish with parsley and chives.
