Ingredients for this recipe:
• 3 ½ to 4-pound beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 peeled julienne yellow onion
• 2 thinly sliced and rinsed leeks, white and yellow parts only
• 6 thinly sliced garlic cloves
• 1 cup red wine
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 6 cups beef stock
• 2 bay leaves
• 8 to 10 sprigs fresh thyme
• 8-10 fresh parsley stems with leaves
• 2 pounds baby Yukon potatoes
• 6 peeled regular or tri-colored carrots cut into 2” inch pieces
• 4 ribs of celery cut into 2” inch pieces
• 2 peeled parsnips, cut into 2” inch pieces
• 1 peeled rutabaga cut into 1” cubes
• ¼ beurre manié recipe
• Worcestershire sauce to taste
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
• optional finely minced parsley for garnish
Serves 6
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 4 ½ hours
Procedures:
1. Generously season the beef on all sides with salt.
2. Place on a rack over a sheet tray and place uncovered in the refrigerator for 12 to 48 hours.
3. Remove the beef from the fridge and season with pepper on all sides.
4. Add the olive oil to a large Dutch oven pot over high heat until it begins to smoke lightly.
5. Place in the beef, turn the heat down to medium and sear on all sides until it is completely golden brown all around. This will take 3 to 4 minutes per side.
6. Set the beef aside on a plate and add the onions and leeks, season with salt, and sauté for 4 to 6 minutes. Then, turn the heat down to low medium and continue cooking for 10 minutes or until the onions are well browned.
7. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant, which takes 30 to 45 seconds.
8. Deglaze with ¼ cup of wine and cook until it is completely absorbed.
9. Next, stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until it is incorporated into the vegetables.
10. Pour in the ¾ cup wine, beef stock, bay leaves, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
11. Add back the seared beef and bring the mixture to a boil. Add on a lid, place it on a rack in the lower third of the oven, and cook for 3 ½ to 4 hours or until fork tender and has an internal temperature of 200° to 210°.
12. With about 70 minutes left in the cooking process, add the potatoes and prepared carrots, celery, and any other vegetables to the pot along with the beef and finish cooking alongside the pot roast.
13. Remove the pot from the oven and carefully set aside only the beef roast. Mix together softened butter and flour to make a beurre manie.
14. Add the beurre manie to the pot with the liquid and vegetables and cook over low to medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens like a gravy.
15. Finish the mixture by stirring in optional vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.
16. Add the beef back to the pot and serve.

All I can say is, WOW. I was making a pot roast for today and ran into this video yesterday, and all I can say is how grateful I am that I did. The techniques and the steps made a novice like me, seem like a world-class chef. This recipe was phenomenal. Thanks so much chef. You’ve earned the like and the follow and my family just ate the best pot roast meal ever.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Appreciate you trying it, many thanks!

[@davefreed8755]

Billy, you are incredible at how you show the techniques that we used to use in the business. Love your channel and thanks for being here!

[@anthonydolio8118]

There is nothing more comforting than a delicious pot roast with root veggies. Thanks.

[@enzoitgoes8335]

Wine: recommend using Pinot noir to avoid the oak in the cab or merlot. And Pinot noir is jammy with a bit of pepper at the back - perfect for a hearty pot of beef.

[@karengollihugh4145]

Ok…that was AMAZING! I only put potatoes, carrots, celery but everything else to same. Spot on, perfect! Thank you!

[@Jerri_Jo]

I made this for Christmas dinner today, it turned out amazing. Thank you so much for this tutorial and for making it very easy to understand. You are the best!

[@SeattleSandro]

Pot roast has always been one of my favorite meals in the winter. It's not super expensive, it makes your house smell great, and it goes with rice, noodles, mashed potatoes, or just the vegetables you cook it with. Brian Lagerstrom recently did a pot roast video and I like his version too. Regardless, pot roast is the meal that keeps on giving.

[@cyberpunkcentral8500]

I agree; I love it. Bonus: it reminds me of Mom! All the things you said: easy, accessible, affordable, high/multiple day portion yield....Childhood comfort classic. ❤

[@eugeneanderson8289]

Very tender. The long cooking process at a low temperature of 275 f. Fall apart when it is done.

[@lexijones8019]

It is now. My 4 lb roast was 29.00

[@robertlizarraga9716]

Chef Parisi, I can’t believe this content is free. I just made the best pot roast of my life. Thank you so much

[@frobmachinemarine]

Looked at this, then three other recipes, then came back here again to make my wife's favorite at home for her birthday. I am sure the other recipes are tasty, and for sure they involve a lot fewer steps, but this one had that extra something both in the looks and taste department! Definitely learned a lot here, and it was a fun journey..

[@burseyfam]

This is my second recipe from your many posts, and it certainly won't be my last. The first one I tried was the braised short rib recipe. I appreciate how you include chef vocabulary along with the instructions. I have surprised my friend who owns a restaurant with my newfound knowledge. I consider myself your commis chef! I've been eyeing your halibut recipe and I'm just waiting for the right sale to give it a try. Both the pot roast and short rib recipes were a big hit with my family.

[@Peter_the_breadman]

I've been following you since this summer, when i saw your reverse sear video. Since then, i have tried at least 4 recipees including the mammoth chicken buriyani.. what a challenge! BUT i love your content, i love the delivery and love the philosophy "make it your own, taste often!" Thankyou, cheers from Quebec.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

My pleasure 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@eMCatman]

I made your recipe, as a novice commi, and it was the biggest hit ever! Great job, thank you for posting.

[@cicielghobrial5238]

Wow, I definitely will try this recipe next weekend!!! Thank you 🙏 😊

[@rosemarykrabbe3897]

Hi Chef! Just wanted to pass along that I love your channel! I am a pretty accomplished cook, but I learn from you in every single video! I also really trust your knowledge and experience. I am positive your recipes WORK because of your technique and your ability to coax as much flavor as possible from your ingredients. Kudos to you, Chef! You validate my feelings on the importance of cooking from scratch.

[@yolandemathews5850]

Thank you, Billy for for generously, sharing your knowledge and skill in the kitchen, which results in me, being able to cook a fabulous meal❤

I've made chuck pot roasts for years, and I've made "gravy," but this time I made it with your Beurre Manié and WOW, it was delectable!

[@lindafoltz1627]

Beautiful. Love all the veggies. Ahhhh, parsnips & rutabaga, 👍👍

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Me too!!

This is the video I needed!! My prayers have been answered 🙏

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Thanks for watching!

Which sides would you recommend serving with this for a crowd?

[@timberanvil3788]

Extraordinary preparation and a masterful instruction... To be clear... I SUCK AT COOKING - I live alone so I rarely cook big meals since it's terrific on day one followed by several days of increasingly mediocre reheats. I decided to make this and invited my parents over to enjoy it since they live close by. It was outstanding! Only substition i made is I don't have red wine so I used homebrew mead...dang was that good. First time eating and cooking leeks, rutabaga, and parsnips.

[@williamward7801]

Beurre Manie...I've learned something today. Thanks, Chef Billy! No more cornstarch slurry for me.

[@TinkyLane.]

You need to have cooking book!!! I love your cooking ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Midas4KAuWML]

That looks really appetitizing! I have never heard anyone explain a recipe so. completely easy to follow. Have to try this.

[@kimberlypieratt3427]

Chef Billy, you are the best! I was at your website today and grabbed your key lime pie recipe and the raspberry sauce. I am making it for my hubby's birthday. Thank you! Every one of your recipes I have tried has been fantastic.

[@I.A20]

Happy 2024 Chef Parisi. Your cooking is very authentic. Thank you for you wonderful channel. Big fan from Canada 🎉🎊☃️🥳

[@KD-dc2fd]

Love parsnips in a pot roast! I’ll have to try the flour with butter to thicken technique this weekend.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Thanks for watching!

[@asanablue]

I use the bags and really like using my croc pot. Thanks for your video and all the info. ☘🍀🍀🍀☘☘☘

[@nansitey2389]

I made this recipe last night, and it was divine! TY!!❤

[@ntfishie]

Omg. The best recipe hands down. I used Merlot and skipped the parsnips 😊 Thank you

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Appreciate you trying it

[@asimhusain8087]

Just curious I'll try your way how much did the bottle of Merlot cost

[@dragonflyer59]

parsnips are wonderful... such a sweet flavor, nothing like I had expected...

[@AllenRichter-s7m]

Whoaaaa!!! What a great pot roast. I'm not a chef, but I am a very capable foodie, AND I've been pushing my grocery cart past the leeks and wondering 🤔🤔 how they'd perform in a pot roast. The only deviation I made was using 1/3 C of sour dough starter vs the raw flour and butter mixture for the thickener. 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keep up the great work Chef Parisi.

[@landis2781]

I had this as left-overs frozen/re-heated today and it was soooo good. Best recipe I've found . I could remember where I found the recipe but found it saved on my MacBook. 5 stars!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Appreciate you trying it! Many thanks!

[@sretnazvijezda400]

Great recipe and presentation 👍 😊

[@carlalivesey3325]

All of this! When the roast is browned, I pour some tomato something, ketchup, bbq sauce, or whatever, and caramelize the sugar in it. This adds to the depth of flavor and takes only a few extra minutes.

[@annasalko]

This recipe was phenomenal my whole family loved it :) 🎉

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Thanks for giving it a shot!!

[@skylark4901]

I've watched so many videos of how to make a delicious pot roast and I feel like I finally found the winner!

[@1g1d1w]

I learned a couple new things today thank you, looks fantastic.

[@StevenvonBriesen]

Awesome! Loved the flavors. Used Staub cast iron Dutch oven. Only needed 4 cups of beef stock, do it again? Yes! Thanks!

[@asimhusain8087]

The crock pot would have also worked just a lot longer

[@kimaniwilson1]

Hey Chef Billy I just wanted you to know that this recipe was so good, its the best thing ive ever made. Thanks man.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

[@matthewjamesduffy]

Right on chef that looks awesome perfect for a cold day!

[@metroplexchl]

You're our family favorite cooking show. Can't wait to make this!

[@SaintCuthbertoftheCudgel]

I just finished making this meal and it is DELICIOUS! Two things that are a bit different for me was searing the meat worked better with less olive oil/none and maybe a bit less wine (how dare I say this!), maybe less a 1/4 cup only. I only had a 5.7 quart Dutch oven and barely made it with a 3.25 lbs piece of meat. Great flavor, great looks, great email. Thanks.

[@ronsparks1001]

Made this the other night and was a huge hit with the family. Pulled back on the mushrooms and regretted that. Left overs chopped the remaining roast up added more mushrooms and called it a stew the next evening. First time really working with some of those vegs.

[@gchomuk]

Made this this l9ng weekend. A bit of work involved, but well worth it. I didn't have the rutabega and parsnips, however. Quite good. Also skipped the mushrooms. Great recipe. Thanks.

[@stephanie6829]

I don’t comment often but this video was SO easy to follow and includes great tips (umm hello, never knew leeks were so dirty). Pot roast is in the oven but with the tastes going on in the broth, I know it’s going to be spectacular. Thanks for an awesome cooking video 👍🏽

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Thanks for the kind words.

[@DennisBater]

My mouth was salivating the entire 14:06 A great recipe, thanks!

I've made hash by dicing the solids and frying until they begin to get a little crusty and then adding back in the gravy a littls bit per serving and reducing it toalmost dry. Makes a great quick leftover meal!

Thank you so much for this video, I watched twice and learned so much! I'm making this for Christmas Eve this year, something completely different than I've ever done before. I feel confident that my family will love it!

[@jamescampolo7824]

Tip: To do it in an instant pot, sear the meat, onions, celery and carrots. Take out the veggies then pressure cook just the meat with water for 50 minutes, release the pressure, add the veggies and potatoes and pressure cook another 7 minutes. This has to be done in two stages because the meat takes a long time to tenderize. If you put everything in for 50 minutes you wouldn't be able to find the veggies, mush.

[@andyleo8418]

Instant pot works in making the meat tender, but sucks at infusing flavors. There are no short cuts in creating flavor.

[@karmelabeeks3866]

This looks amazing , great job. I bet it tasted even better!❤😂🎉

Hi ... can a crock pot be used? I don't have an expensive Le Creuset pot. Thank You!

[@skylark4901]

Ahh I was wondering what kind of pot that was, I looked and I see what you mean! $$$, I'm sure any Dutch Oven would work, I can't image using a crock pot would change things much either, that's how I'll probably do it because that's all I have right now!

[@rainettadotson9512]

Hello. I got mine in my Crock pot right now. Seasoned it got it cooking

[@jackrodosta7971]

Beautiful I've never tried with the root veg and definitely going in my next one. I like to get that crust over some lump charcoal on my BBQ for some added depth of flavor.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Sounds great!

[@jackrodosta7971]

I've never use a Beurre manié does it have that raw flour flavor? I've alway used rue to get that toasted nutty flavor.

[@lynettejenkins9213]

That looks so good. I will give it a try🇨🇦😘

[@philparisi9175]

Looks great. My issue with pot roast is that everything tastes the same - as it is meant to. I have started cooking each vegetable separately and seasoned uniquely and then combine the vegetables in one bowl and the delicious meat in another. I will add some ground ginger to the parnips, some gran-marnier to the carrots, etc..I roast whatever can be reoasted.

[@ritaferrall8393]

I am going to make this! WOW!

[@jacobjames2825]

I like to add the onions raw into the pot. They absorb the flavor of the meat juices and they turn out tasty and delicious.

[@KathleenHayden2016]

Best ever Pot Roast!

[@pattiann8772]

Made this today came out great. A little time consuming though.

[@LornaLopez-h4k]

2nd time I’m making this amazing pot roast but..do I peel the potatoes?

[@babygorilla4233]

I think next time I'm going mushrooms and celery and dropping parsnip. Been meaning to get mushrooms into my diet there kinda cool from a nutrition standpoint. They evolved way after plants and animals for the role of processing plants and animals as they break down and are just more complex macro packed vegetables.

[@ryguyw1]

Just out of curiosity is this your home kitchen or just where you film? I know your earlier videos were in a “home kitchen” but don’t remember if you moved. I like the industrial/functional set up. I’ve always wanted a big sink with sprayer in my house 😂

[@ChefBillyParisi]

A separate studio

[@lindaterzic9617]

Beautiful! What size Staub pot is that?

[@julianvickers]

He said 2 and a half gallons, so we can assume 10 quart.

[@mgweir3252]

Do you recommend skimming some of the grease off before making the gravy?

[@Sweetencourager21]

I have a question? I can’t follow most recipes because I’m allergic to onions of all kinds. So what do I substitute with? I love pot roast and would love to make a special recipe.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

That’s a tough one. Not sure there’s a great substitute for onions. If it were me, I’d skip them.

[@idam.7224]

Hello, I'm making this for Easter for a small gathering. Can I avoid the butter at the end? I have one person that cannot have butter. Is there a way to thicken without butter? Thanks a million!

[@darasoapery]

Yes, make a flour or cornstarch slurry. Hope this helps! He shows how to make it on his soup videos.

[@Buzzingbe9813]

I don't have a Dutch oven. Will a stainless steel Roasting pan with a stainless steel lid work?

[@hexistenz]

7:41 Hi Billy and faithful viewers, a question here: When you put the roast in the oven, you said “no fan”. Why is that? What’s the effect with fan, without fan? I’m a front-of-house manager in a high-end Italian restaurant with 30 years experience, and I love to cook at home.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

I’m just telling people that my temperature does not include a fan because I often get questions if it’s convection or not.

[@hexistenz]

@@ChefBillyParisi oh, OK, gotcha thanks 🙏 I just discovered your channel, really love it, keep it up 👍

[@CallingAsif]

What would you say the beef chuck's internal "done " temperature should be?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

You’re at 200+

[@donnaburns29]

Question: why is it important to not use convection fan while in the oven? I am pretty sure I am unable to turn off in my large oven. If covered, does it truly matter?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

You can use convection, I didn’t say it was important. I just made sure people knew that the degrees I had it on was not convection.

[@bettyvillegas8785]

If you dont have a oven can you continue to cook it in the pot on a stove top on low heat?
