How to Make Perfect Pot Roast

Cook the Bacon

Cook the bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.

Season and Sear the Roast

Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Place the roast in the pot and sear it in the bacon fat until browned on all sides.

Sauté the Vegetables

Remove the roast from the pot. Add the diced onion and mushrooms and sauté until they begin to soften. Add the garlic and cook briefly.

Build the Sauce

Stir in the tomato paste and thyme. Add the beef broth, dry red wine, and cooked bacon. Mix everything together, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Braise the Roast

Return the seared roast to the pot. Cover and braise for 2 hours, allowing the beef to slowly cook and become tender.

Add the Carrots and Potatoes

Add the carrots and baby potatoes to the pot. Continue cooking uncovered until the roast is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.

Serve

Slice or shred the tender pot roast and serve it with the carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms. Spoon the rich sauce over everything before serving.
