I'm looking for a beef pot roast recipe using just potatoes and carrots. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

If you put the roast, potatoes and carrots in a crock pot along with a little bit of water and let it cook all day, it will turn out great! Crock-pots are an amazing kitchen tool for busy people!

Answer 2

Well, you sort of have to use beef pot roast also. Braise the meat on both sides till it's brown. Cover with water and simmer about four hours. Peel and cut potatoes into appoximate square inch portions. Put into meat pot after meat has simmered about three hour. Cut carrots the same size. Cook carrots for the last 15 minutes. You can speed the process up with a pressure cooker, or slow it down with a crock pot.

Answer 3

In your pot, pour some olive oil in, enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Dredge your meat in flour and pat it on the meat and put it into the hot oil. Don't make it to hot because olive oil will burn at high temps. Just brown it on all sides with a whole onion sliced up. After if is brown put a couple of pieces of garlic in there, and fill it with enough water to cover potatoes and carrots. I also toss in one can of beef bouillon. I would also put the carrots in and then let that cook for awhile in a 350 oven with a lid. It is easier and you don't have to keep adding liquid. About an hour before you eat have your potatoes ready to put in and let it cook until you are ready to eat. Sometimes I get the huge Idaho potatoes and put everything in at the same time and it sure comes out great. It is so easy because it is all done at the same time and you have the gravy. I strain the gravy because a lot of people don't like onions. This way you can flavor it without anybody seeing them. LOL!

Answer 4

Just leave out the onion and celery. I cook my roast covered in a 350 degree oven for about 6 hours and I do the veg seperately on the stove top. About an hour if the potatoes are cut big. A little seasoning on the roast is nice...like some salt, pepper, and garlic powder...or seasoned salt...and a touch of liquid smoke. What you can do too is brown the roast before you put it in the oven...that seals in the flavors.

Answer 5

3 to 5 pound top beef chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
Seasoned salt and lemon pepper
1 onion, peeled and halved
1 carrot, whole
1 cup beef broth, low sodium
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, whole
1 rosemary sprig
2 thyme sprigs
1 pound new red potatoes
1 cup baby carrots
Kosher salt


Sprinkle roast with seasoned salt and lemon pepper to taste. Place onion and carrot in the bottom of a 5 or 6 quart crockery cooker. Lay the meat on top of the vegetables. Pour in the broth and Worcestershire sauce. Season with garlic, rosemary and thyme.
Cover and set dial to low-heat. Allow to gently simmer for 5 to 6 hours. Remove the cover and add the baby vegetables around the roast. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and continue to cook covered on low-heat for an additional 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Answer 6

Put the roast in a crock pot with garlic and salt and pepper or whatever seasonings you like. Add a little water and turn it on high for like 6-7 hours you can put the veggies in the last 2 hours and they will get the flavor from the meat. It is great and easy you can put it in before work or in the morning whenever and not worry about dinner hardly!

Answer 7

My mom used to make this for us when we were little kids it was wonderful. You will need an inexpensive cut of meat (Chuck roast) making a few slits into the meat in various places insert whole garlic cloves about 5 or 6. Now wash and peel your carrots and potatoes cut them however you like, Mom always cut them chunky, add one package of Liptons onion soup mix and 2 cups of water. add salt and pepper to the meat, cover then bake in oven till done. You can add a variety of vegetables to this as I do now that I have kids, but you only wanted the basic pot roast.

Answer 8

This is a Sunday tradition @ my parents house for after church lunch. Take pot roast, sliced potatos, sliced carrots, 1 pkg Lipton onion soup mix & 1 can cream of mushroom soup. Place all in baking bag & cook on low 250 or so for about 3 hours. Serve w/ coleslaw & homemade cornbread.....Yummy!!!

Answer 9

try broiling it in the oven in a bag with the potatos and carrots but use onion soup for broth. Slow cook it on 225 for two hours and then up to 350-375 for one hour. It should come out really tender and juicy

Answer 10

Marinade the roast in a bottle of red wine over night (Not expensive, but something you would drink). Then cook it slowly (325) to an internal temp of about about 140 degrees.
