This roast comes from the round primal or the rear part of the cow. It is leaner than either the brisket or chuck, so you may need to add some additional fat to prevent your pot roast from drying out. The cut can also be called bottom round, rump roast, or London broil — when it is cut into steaks. The best way to cook a pot roast is through a technique called braising.
Here, we explain how to braise in depth. First, light a large skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Drizzle a little olive oil or fat in the saucepan. Once the pan is hot, place your roast in the skillet for minutes, or until the bottom starts to brown. Flip your roast and continue the process until all sides are brown. Transfer your roast to a large casserole dish or Dutch oven. Add enough beef broth or water or combination of the two to cover half the roast. Place the lid on your dish, and place inside a preheated oven your oven should be set to F, depending upon the recipe.
Halfway through your cooking time typically two hours, at minimum add chopped vegetables to dish for a complete meal. We like adding potatoes, celery, onions, parsley, a few sprigs of fresh thyme, and freshly ground black pepper to ours. Once added, place the lid back over your dish and return to the oven. If you lead a busy schedule, a Crock-Pot or slow cooker works just as well as an oven.

A round roast is cut from the rear leg area of the animal. Look for rump roast or bottom roundroast. The leanest of the three most common pot roast cuts, it has a fine grain which makes it great for slicing, but it lacks the big, beefy flavor of the other two cuts. By Patricia S York.

I also usually don't add alcohol to my recipes, but I added some red cooking wine.
It was terrific. This will replace my pot roast recipe from now on. Thanks so much. This is a regular in our menu but sometimes I use a leaner cut of meat and it comes with the same results.
After many years of trying pot roasts recipes this one has come out the sure winner! I didn't add the potatoes instead added cut up mushrooms and served it over mashed garlic potatoes. It had great flavour and since there are only 2 of us we had a few delicious leftover dinners. I then did what a previous reviewer said and made beef barley soup by adding some extra peas and pearl onions. Made to recipe except we didn't peel the yukons. Excellent, wouldn't change a thing. Served with CL's brussels sprouts with thyme.
I used a 2. Cook veggies for only 25 minutes and check. For 2. Worth serving over some brown rice, mashed potatoes, or with some crusty bread. This recipe is fantastic! Extremely flavorful and the best I've ever had. Leftovers delicious too. This was my first time cooking a pot roast OMG! It was the best pot roast I've ever eaten in my life. I followed the recipe exactly except I added a couple of tablespoons of flour after the onions were sauteed then deglazed with just a little of the wine, I also added mushrooms with the carrots and potatoes and it was superb!
The gravy came out perfect, not thin and not too thick. I can't wait to eat the leftovers tonight. I will definitely be making this again and again and again and would not hesitate to serve to company. This was a big hit! I accidentally bought a 2 lb roast instead of 3lb, so I added more carrots and used the same amount of liquid based on other reviews I read.
Otherwise, everything was as directed and it came out perfect! I definitely think it is important to keep the potatoes in large chunks as they are pretty soft in the end and will break apart easily. So delicious and juicy! New family favorite. I followed the recipe with a few modifications to make it easier for me. After I browned the roast, I placed it in my crockpot. Then I cooked the onions, added on top of my roast and deglazed my skillet with the red wine before adding it to the crockpot.
I added a bag of the peeled small carrots and I halved or quartered unpeeled, small red potatoes. I added the bay leaf, garlic, etc. It was yummy! I haven't made pot roast in over 25 years. Just seemed to boring. Soooooo glad I did. Just smelling it cook got his appetite aroused. I felt like weeping. Great recipe. My only change was adding green beans a while after the carrots. I also thickened the sauce with some corn starch but next time I will grate some potato to thicken the gravy. E mailed to my daughters who are excellent cooks.
This was really good BUT it took way longer to cook than the recipe called for, not sure if it is my oven. Taste was really good though. Per other readers I added 1 T. Next time I might make mashed potatoes and use carrots, turnips and mushrooms. Highly recommended and a big hit with the family!
This is the perfect pot roast. I like to change up a few little things like adding extra garlic and I always love to add a bit of dijon mustard to my pot roasts. I will typically make mashed potatoes on the side so I will usually leave out the potatoes and instead put rainbow carrots makes it extra pretty! Great recipe!
Excellent recipe. Added 1 tbl tomato paste with wine mixture and 1 tbl Worcestershire sauce when adding carrots and potatoes. This recipe was very good and not too salty, as many pot roast recipes can be, especially when they call for onion soup mix. The only issue I had was with the cut of meat, just too fatty I used chuck.
Next time I will use a first cut briscuit which is the cut of meat that I traditionally use for pot roast. Very nice flavor though! I have hesitated to make pot roast because chuck can be so fatty. Before cooking, I untied the roast, trimmed off most of the fat, and retied. I followed the recipe exactly per instructions. Next time I may add a bit more liquid as we love the sauce. As others have said, the onions just melted into it.
Will definitely make again. Agree with everyone here that this is the tastiest pot roast recipes. Followed the recipe exactly except I used dried thyme instead of fresh, the most wonderful indescribable flavor with the most tender meat.
