This easy, flavorful pot roast is an all-in-one meal that your family will love. Carrots, onions, and potatoes make this classic beef pot roast a hearty one-pot meal. After searing the beef and quickly sautéing the onions, the meat is slowly simmered on the stovetop. Toss in the veggies an hour before it's done so that the meat is perfectly tender and the vegetables aren't mushy. A simple homemade gravy is the perfect finishing touch.

While this pot roast is a one-dish meal, you can serve it with steamed green beans or broccoli for a family feast. Fluffy rolls or crusty bread wouldn't be a bad accompaniment for a Sunday supper.

"Another dinner that the whole family will eat, so this is a winner in my book. It has a lot of flavor and a lovely gravy. The potatoes and carrots cooked perfectly during the last hour. Overall it was pretty easy to throw together and it just simmers away on the stovetop." —Carrie Parente

Tips

  • If you have an extra-large piece of meat, you may want to cook it for longer before adding the vegetables. If your roast is especially small, you may be able to decrease the cook time slightly.
  • Leftover pot roast can be used in a variety of dishes. Use the shredded meat to make a quick beef stew or beef hash.

Recipe Variations

  • To add extra flavor to your pot roast, cook the beef in red wine instead of stock. Try adding some herbs like rosemary and thyme.
  • If you have other favorite vegetables you like in a pot roast, feel free to add them. Chopped parsnips, turnips, and rutabagas are all great options. Pearl onions can be used instead of quartered onions. Or add frozen peas or mixed vegetables near the end of the cooking time.
  • You can also cook a pot roast in a slow cooker or in a pressure cooker like the Instant Pot.

What Kind of Meat Is Needed for Pot Roast?

Tough cuts of meat like chuck roast (sometimes labeled shoulder steak), rump roast, or bottom round are best for pot roast. When cooked low and slow with a little liquid, they become tender and juicy.

What Is the Difference Between a Roast and a Pot Roast?

The word "roast" is sometimes used as a blanket term to describe big pieces of cooked meat. Applied to beef, it often refers to roast beef, which is dry-roasted and sliced, sometimes for sandwiches. A pot roast is a piece of tough beef, often chuck roast, slow-cooked with a little liquid until very tender.

Can You Overcook a Pot Roast?

The lower and slower you cook a tough piece of beef, the more tender it becomes. However, if you cook a pot roast for too long, it will eventually become both mushy and dry. Check your roast often and stop cooking once it reaches your desired tenderness.
