RECIPE
▪3-5lb/1.5-2kg Beef chuck roast
▪225g (5 large) Shallot or onion, chunky diced
▪225g (3 large) Carrots, cut into obliques
▪225g (4-6 stalks) Celery, cut into 1-2”/3-5cm pieces
▪20g (4-5 cloves) Garlic, minced
▪Neutral, high smokepoint oil (canola, vegetable, soy, avocado)
▪50g (3 1/2T) unsalted butter
▪25g (1 1/2 tomato paste
▪25g (3T) flour (all purpose or gluten free flour blend. I used bob’s red mill 1 to 1)
▪150g (2/3c) red wine
▪25g (1 1/2T) worcestershire
▪15g (1T) better than bouillon beef base
▪750g (3c) beef stock
▪2 bay leaves
▪3-4 springs fresh thyme
Liberally salt all sides of the chuck roast and allow it to sit at room temp for 20 minutes.
While the beef brines, prep the veggies. Cut shallot into a chunky dice. Cut celery into 1-2”/3-5cm long planks. Cut carrots into obliques (see video @1:26) or a large chunky dice. Mince garlic.
Before searing, dry beef very well on all sides with a towel.
Preheat a dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add a long squeeze of neutral oil. Drop in salted roast and press the meat down into the pan. Sear for 6-7 minutes until a brown crust has formed. Flip and sear on the second side for 5-6min. Transfer to a plate.
Return the pot to medium heat and add 50g of butter, followed by veggies, garlic, and a large pinch of salt. Stir and cook to caramelize and slightly soften for about 3 min. Add tomato paste. Stir and saute for about 2 minutes until it has taken on a darker rusty color. Stir in flour for 30-60 sec.
Add in wine, worcestershire and stir to deglaze solids on the bottom of the pot. When slightly thickened, add better than bouillon and stock. Bring to a simmer. When simmering, snuggle the seared beef into the pot so that it’s touching the bottom of the pot. Add bay and thyme.
Add a probe thermometer if you have one, set the temp to 195F/90C. cover the pot leaving the lid slightly ajar, and load into a 275F/135C oven to cook for 4-5 hours. Checking on the beef in about 2 hours when the temp hits 195F. Check the meat at this point. It shouldn’t be shreddable yet. Return the lid to the pot, and return the pot to the oven to cook for about 2-3 more hours, checking the roast gain at the 4-4.5 hour mark. You’re now looking to maintain the temperature of about 190-205F/90C for a few more hours until the meat is fork tender and shreddable, but does not totally fall apart. If internal temp rises above this temp, turn down the oven to maintain 190-205F/90C. When done, you'll be able to easily pull the meat apart with forks. Taste sauce for seasoning and add salt if needed.
Allow beef to rest in the cooking liquids for about 30 minutes while you finish your potatoes.
Serve a chunk of beef on top of baked bashed potatoes along with a few of the roasted veggies and extra sauce.

When do you use a parchment lid (as you did in the coq au vin recipe), and when do you just leave the lid ajar as you do here? Also, there's a "When is a lid not a lid" joke in there somewhere. You're welcome 🤭

[@SeattleSandro]

Pot roast is so underrated, but so incredibly versatile. I've had a lot of meh pot-roasts that were watery, with under-developed flavors, due to half-assed technique. Properly seasoning and browning the roast, developing a dark fond, and deglazing are so important here. Here's the best thing about a good pot roast, it doesn't require fancy equipment, just good meat and technique and it yields so many good meals. Serve it over potatoes one day, over noodles the next, over rice, or with a few slices of good bread. It's the roast that keeps on giving. One thing I always do is add a packet of Lipton French Onion Soup mix. It's never let me down.

[@oleo4925]

A mashed potato tip I learned from my wife: Add the butter and sour cream, but also add Philly Cream Cheese (same amount as sour cream). Mix with a mixer if you like smooth and creamy "mashies" like I do. Some like lumps, so they can stick to manual mashing.

[@pastramiking]

It is not the same thing. You braised a large hunk of beef and beef bourguignon is pre-cubed and covered with red wine during cooking. Your pot roast looks tasty but none of your techniques are really applicable to the other because they are too different.

[@andrewmason5448]

Step aside better than bouillon, here comes better than bourguignon

[@colleenmahony8803]

This is almost exactly how i do a pot roast. The thing is, you can't really screw it up except by not giving it enough low-and-slow cooking. I use what i have. Got wine? Throw it in. If you don't, it will still be great. Got onions instead of shallots? Still good. Got mushrooms? Throw em in. Got parsnips or rutabaga? Sure, why not? They mash great together with the potatoes. Want big chunks of potatoes instead of mash? Go for it. It's the most forgiving comfort meal i know.

[@maryannashenfelder5513]

Spot on!

[@rickster1953]

I made this many many times and I don’t even call it beef burgeoning. It’s just pot roast to me. Delicious and a great comfort meal.

Parsnips your serving separately remember to remove the cores and braise till tender. No woody bitterness.

I was thinking about throwing in a marinara sauce. Have you ever tried that instead of a cab/red wine?

[@alphaenemyplus8376]

If you have the time, salt the beef as shown and leave it in the fridge overnight on a rack. The surface will be completely dry and give you an incredible Maillard crust.

[@earthcandleco]

I did that before I prepared the dish 😊

[@claradiblasi354]

Thank you for the tip 🌞

[@gwynnlinn1133]

Yes!

[@Grimalken1969]

Exactly. I was surprised that he told viewers to dry the meat. If you only let the salt sit on the meat for an hour, it will start to draw the moisture out of the meat, and it will be moist on the surface. An hour or more later, the process reverses and the salt penetrates the meat and starts to draw that moisture back into the meat. You just leave the meat refrigerated on a rack, uncovered overnight, and the meat will be perfect for searing to get the Maillard reaction

[@stjohnbaby]

Hey thanks,great tip❤

Bri, I just want to give my virtual compliments. Every dish I've made from your channel (Ciabatta, Boeuf Bourguignon, e.g.) has been a success and has made my friends suspect me of hiding a private chef in my kitchen. Many thanks for the top-notch quality content. I'm excited to see what 2024 will bring !

[@jonathanwilliams1974]

A big chunk of ciabatta would hit perfectly with this! I'm so making this!!

[@calebmeyer2121]

+1 to the Ciabatta, it has become my go-to bread. I had never made a loaf from scratch, but the versatility of that dough is fantastic.

[@Sangsstuff]

For sure! Brian is the best approachable pro level chef on KZbin. By far imo.

[@roynemmers7323]

+2 to the Ciabatta as a go to bread, though Brian put out a French baguette recipe recently I want to try. I like making baguettes but I'm not super happy with the outcome so I'm thinking his method will up my game.

[@johncspine2787]

His ciabatta is way better than his (or any) baguette. (Baguettes don’t last in good texture like ciabatta in my opinion obvs and to me just ..never duplicate like whatever your ideal baguette is in your mind) His ciabatta recipe in the mixer changed my entire bread game, at least for ciabatta..it allows you to get a feel for the bread by seeing how the dough clears the bowl, because so many times flours have vastly different moisture contents and no matter how carefully you weigh a dough is different each time, but once you learn to see how the mixer develops the wet gluten into a smooth, bowl clearing mass, (works for all breads too!) you can get perfect results..every..single..time..! Another awesome recipe for soft brioche style rolls (hamburgers, sandwiches) is the Joshua Weissman hamburger roll recipe with the tangzhong (just cooked flour in milk/water until it forms a paste and kills the gluten)@@roynemmers7323

This is by far the best dish I've ever cooked. It has more steps than I'm used to, but they were simple. The end result is a tender melt in your mouth bite with complex flavors. Absolutely delicious!!! I didn't have potatoes so I served it with toasted sliced sourdough. Thanks for posting!

I'm partial to whipping them with a mixer using butter and milk, but I can see the sour cream is going for a different flavor. Love the content!!!

[@user-uz5yp4xo8h]

I've just recently discovered you and made this pot roast yesterday. Yummy. The key learning I had in this video was maintaining the temp at 190º to keep the meat from drying out. I liked getting the Harold McGee research info. My background is education and your presentation and directions are super clear and consistent (and match perfectly with the written recipe). I love the clean and uncluttered background that helps keep me focussed.

[@spotdogit]

Dang it, I wish I’d waited another few days to make my pot roast. The recipe I followed had my oven temp at 300° and the roast came out like the one you did in the instant pot- tender but weirdly tough at the same time. I recovered by slicing it thin and reheating in butter. Better as a sammie than as a roast. I’m definitely using your recipe next time!

[@davidstanhope3295]

Brian, dude, ❤ from the UK. I made this today and it was so well received, plus your shortbread for dessert! I'd buy a baking book of yours in a heartbeat.

So, I figured I had to give it a try and it was fantastic! Truly the only version of apple pie I will ever make and eat in the future. Tonight, I made your pot roast recipe and it came out perfect! Just full of flavor and falling apart. One of the best meals I have ever made. That never happens when I follow an online recipe. Your spaghetti in meat sauce was already on my radar and guaranteed I'll be making that one soon. Thanks for not only the entertaining videos, but also the no fuss home run recipes!

[@grizfan93]

I'm about to try this recipe later today. For the most part, thanks to the very helpful video, I'm pretty confident I can get good results, even though I'm pretty inexperienced in the kitchen. One thing that would help a lot is to discuss how much the recipe will make, and what size cookware to use. Cooking for two in a European apartment means I have fairly small cookware, which means I have a 4L (about 4.2 quart) size enameled Dutch oven to use. I'll try to scale back the recipe, but knowing this information in advance would really help with that.

I think 20 minutes hold time after salting the meat is a bit short, when I season a piece of meat that large I do so the day before and let it hang out in the fridge over night.

I would suggest straining the vegetables out of the stock, (they have already lost most of their flavour and texture after hours of cooking), and introducing new vegetables to the stock 20 minutes before finishing. (Exact time will vary, dependent on the type o vegetables used and how firm one prefers them). I would also suggest removing the lid entirely for the last 20 minutes... to further thicken the sauce, and brown the top of the beef. Be prepared to add liquid (wine/water/stock etc.) during this process to ensure the beef remains 75-80% immersed.

[@kayak7329]

Hey Bri- thanks for the recipe. One of the things I always find with the chuck is that there is one muscle in the piece that is the most stubborn and is hard to get tender / cooks out of sync with the remainder. Have you noticed? If so, how do you deal with it (let it get tender? I sometimes think the rest overcooks then. Leave it tougher? etc.)

Not suggesting otherwise, just guessing that after watching that video every youtuber is going to pause for a second to consider whether there is any credit they should give. No one wants to end up in the followup video. @@CryoJnik

[@rockstoneballs]

Yeah Ireland checking in

[@giraffesinc.2193]

I'm going to make this for my Dad, who loooves pot roast! Thank you Brian!

[@CatLady4Life]

I bought a Dutch oven so I could make this. And it was amazing! You can cut it with a spoon. Will absolutely be making this again.

[@CorwinBos]

I do this same thing pretty much, just throw it in the slow cooker/crock pot for about 6-8 hours on low instead of in the oven. Stupid simple and delicious.

[@TristanZam17]

I'm making this for my family this weekend. It's decided!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

you will NOT be disappointed 🤤

[@mikevaneck217]

Wife and I made this tonight.. Just plain WOW .. that was amazing .. Thanks for yet another amazing recipe

[@creolekim]

Thank you! I made this tonight and it was a hit with my family. My husband said it tasted better than the beef bourguignon he had in France, ha!! My meat was just a little tough because I used 2- 2.5lbs of chuck and it didn’t fit on the bottom of my dutch oven. I will make this again next week and I can’t wait to try your other recipes especially Dutch oven recipes since I just got my first le creuset. Thanks again!

[@downhilldad220]

I have this cooking in my oven now for New Years eve dinner and it smells freaking amazing! Happy new year! Edit: Just a heads up, the recipe in description doesn't mention when to add beef stock or better than bouillon. I found it in the video, but thought I'd let you know.

[@JackMathewson-ls4oi]

New Year’s Day for me.

Same here! Great minds... =)

[@zeke7142003]

I've been using Port wine when making my pot roast. My wife really likes the sweeter taste of the sauce that's created in the pot.

[@maryokeefe5351]

Great idea!

[@annag6625]

Have made this twice already and it does NOT disappoint. Thx for this delicious recipe

[@meghoughton562]

THANK you for explaining *why* shallots over onions. I've never really worked with shallots, but it's good to know the basic difference.

[@dor843088]

Lego brick size. Now there's a measurement I can understand 😂

[@brianelliott8478]

I have cooked my pot roasts similar to this for years. Meat is sooooo good. Veggies end up a little too soft, so about an hour or hour and a half from finishing, I add fresh carrots, to give a little more bite. As always, another Great recipe!

[@EzekielDBarrett]

Easy, kenji

[@larrybeagle66]

Great suggestion. I'm always back and forth about the veggies. Add at the beginning or the end? I want them to flavor the gravy, so beginning. I like to eat some, but not so mushy. So add more during the last hour. Thank you.

[@user-xi7gz6sz4w]

I cut my chuck roast into 3-4 smaller pieces, then add all veggies and cook for 4 hrs instead of 6. Always works, everything gets done together.

[@StanHowse]

@@user-xi7gz6sz4w If you do it right, it's going to come apart anyway.

[@AbraAnnesGenerosityAuctions]

Made this for my family of 7 tonight. I was worried because after a few hours it was still tough. Left the big chunk of meat alone and kept it going low and slow. Turned out amazing. Everyone loved the gravy/sauce. Thanks for a great recipel

[@SaneCatLady429]

I love these cooking videos, with the large kitchens, room for lots of cooking utensils and equipment, large counters, food looks tasty, cooking tips, etc.

[@monkeygraborange]

So, assuming one doesn’t eat the entire thing in one sitting, how long can it be held in the fridge and would you do that in the cooking liquid or take it out? Looks fabulous, btw!!

[@CryoJnik]

Pot roast can last a few days in the fridge...but let's be real it'll be gone long before it starts going bad. Usually people store the cooking liquid with the roast and veggies. Stuff tastes too good to just toss out

[@victoriafraser1895]

an incredible sounding recipe that’s GLUTEN FREE?! AND a cameo from Lorn too?! yessss thank you! I can’t wait to try this! 😋

[@ramencurry6672]

She’s awesome . Best wife

[@antonioromo2452]

Hey Brian! I'm a 43 yo mexican guy who loves to cook. I enjoyed every minute of your video and the excellent explanation! I will try this recipe since it is very similar to one of my Mother's. Congratulations for your excellent content Bro!

[@Itwascute_fuck]

I just made this and it is so amazingly DELICIOUS!!!!!!! And it was so easy to make. I’m new to this channel, but you better believe I’m going to be making more of your recipes, and you’ve gained a fan. I’m gonna go in search to see if you have a cookbook out. 🤞

[@nickblopez]

What result would you get if you used low pressure instead of high on your pressure cooker?

[@MographVideo]

As advertised, great beef dish with deep flavor. I used a 4# roast and still had tons of gravy left over. I put it a lot more carrots and still would do more. I’d recommend at least 5# of meat if not more, if you want to not waste the good stuff 👍🏻. Thanks again Bri!

[@cryptc]

Finally someone on youtube has discovered the trick I always use for mashed potatoes :) the taste is so much better

[@stephen6851]

Do you think this would work in a slow cooker?

[@Running4Daze]

Between our guy Brian and Sip n Feast my bachelor’s cooking game has been upped out of the bush league -finally 😂! Big thanks to you Brian -and also Lorn-for creating a great channel that I’m always happy to come back to enjoy the latest episode and learn a lot about the art of cooking that I was clueless about. Shamelessly asking for u to publish a cookbook when ur up to it-let’s eat this thing :)! Happy Holidays to u both!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Thanks for watching! Same to you.

[@jakejacobs7584]

Thank you for all the new techniques ( to me ) you demonstrate. Did this one tonight and it was great. The only variations I made were based on the fact that I knew there would be a lot of leftovers as I had a just under four pound roast. I added more carrots and some baby potatoes halved as I was going to serve it over egg noodles and would save the potatoes for the left overs. Wonderful flavor profile. I even baked one of your simple breads to go with it. Family happy, out.

[@roderickcampbell2105]

Great video, great chef. You can tell since he can't juggle and has the guts to taste straight off the cooking spoon. I really like the earthiness of it.

[@sep2mus]

I made this today. Delicious! Confession: I did deviate a little. I didn't realize, till too late, that I bought beef *broth* rather than beef *stock.* To make matters worse, I forgot to add this as directed; I remembered a few minutes after putting it in the oven, and added it at that time. And I added some extra "Better than Boullion" to make up for the broth vs. stock. I was surprised that the recipe included no black pepper! I stuck with the recipe, and it didn't really need pepper. *When* I do this again, in addition to correcting the mistakes mentioned above, I'll add more vegetables, and I may try mushrooms. I thought it had plenty of onions and scallions, but even more would not have been too much.

[@Melody-285]

I add more veggies than that, too, when I make pot roast, especially more onion & I use black pepper on all meat !

[@marcinwojcik5476]

Personally I use a slow cooker. It does the job really well, it's cheaper than the oven and very low maintenance

[@dustinsherburne8546]

Thank you for this recipe. First time making a proper pot roast and it turned out incredible. I did take the liberty of dry brining the chuck for about 2 days beforehand and I think this helps tremendously with the seasoning and searing.

[@SilverSkitty]

I made this for dinner tonight and me and my boyfriend loved it! It was so easy and cooking the potatoes in the oven was so convenient, definitely making it again.
