    What is the best cut of meat for pot roast?

    Tough and inexpensive cuts of beef are best such as chuck and brisket. They can cook slowly for a few hours and become very soft and tender.

    What to serve with roast?

    • Creamy Mashed Potatoes (One Pot)– The best side dish for this meal!
    • Mashed Sweet Potatoes (One Pot)-
    • Dinner rolls
    • Breadsticks
    • Salad such as this Easy Broccoli Salad or Cherry Tomato Salad.
    • Roasted vegetables such as these One Pan Roasted Green Beans or One Pan Roasted Broccoli or One Pan Roasted Asparagus
    • Rice
    • Risotto
    • Baked potatoes or baked sweet potatoes

    What red wine to use for pot roast?

    The rule of thumb is to use a red wine that you like to drink because that's the flavor that would be prominent in this meal. Some popular choices are: Cabernet, Zinfandel, or Merlot.

    Tips and Techniques

    -Can you use frozen roast? The recipe below is for a thawed roast. However, you can use a frozen one but you will need to add 20-30 minutes to your pressure cooking time. You will also have to skip the searing step.

    -Add any vegetables of your choice- Carrots, onions and potatoes are the most popular but you can also add parsnips, sweet potatoes or turnips.

    -Add vegetables near the end- Don’t add carrots and potatoes in the beginning because they cook very quickly and will become vey soft and “mushy.” Adding them near the end for the best texture.

    -Use low sodium broth- This prevents the meal from becoming too salty.

    -Cooking time may vary- This depends on the type of pressure cooker you use as well as a personal preference of how you like your beef. If it’s not tender enough to your liking, just cook for longer (up to 80 minutes).

    -You must sear the meat- Because it gives it a nice crispy exterior and helps with the overall texture.

    -Adjust amount of herbs and spices- This is based on your preference. Add more or less of whatever you like or dislike.

    -Make crockpot/ slow cooker red wine pot roast- Sear the meat and add it in the crockpot, along with the other ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.

    -Can you freeze pot roast? Absolutely. Once it cool down completely, store in a sealed air-tight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating in the microwave or stovetop,

      Sounds great! Can’t wait to try. I’m just wondering, should the pressure be hi or low? 🤔
      Thanks!

        I don't have that setting on my instant pot. Maybe you use a different one than I do. I asked a friend and she said she makes it on "High." Hope this helps.

      If you are not going to add the carrots and potatoes, do you still cook it for that extra 10 minutes, or do you stop at 60 minutes?

        If you are not adding the carrots and potatoes, you can just stop cooking.

      I made this tonight minus potatoes.  I actually made it twice in two different instant pots since I had two roasts on hand.  Came out so tender and delicious! Saved to my “Tried and True Favs” folder. 5 stars

      How many minutes do you sear the roast on each side?

        About 1 minute each side so that it becomes slightly crispy and brown.

      I made this last night, no potatoes, just carrots, onions and fresh garlic. Used Barefoot Merlot and beef stock, spices per the recipe. Without question the best roast we've ever had. Juicy, tender and full of flavor. This is going to be a regular at our home.....good enough for company!5 stars

      This sounds so good! But I was actually wondering if you have a similar recipe like this or a suggestion in how to make this in the crockpot? I am sure I wouldn’t add as much liquid and maybe I would be good to go if I just reduced the liquid, I just wanted to ask. Thank you so much! It looks delicious!!!!

        You can try this recipe from my other slow cooker blog: https://slowcookerfoodie.com/slow-cooker-pot-roast/
        It's delicious. If you want to add red wine to this slow cooker recipe, reduce the quantity of the cream of mushroom soup a but and replace that with red wine.
