The best way to make pot roast and to get the most flavor out of the beef is to actually sear the meat all along the outside before placing it in the slow cooker. This browning will give the meat lots of flavor while it cooks with the rest of the ingredients. Be sure to season with salt and pepper to your preferred taste before searing in a separate pan.
Along with chuck roast, you will need garlic, onion, celery and carrots that can be served alongside the pot roast or paired with a cauliflower or vegetable mash. Red wine vinegar is used to tenderize the meat and give a more robust flavor. Our Beef Bone Broth Collagen is the perfect add-in for this Paleo pot roast recipe.
