what cut of beef is considered a Pot Roast?

Answer 1

Pot roast was developed as a slow cook method for tenderizing cheaper cuts of meat,so-chuck roast,top round,bottom round,shoulder and arm roast are all good.

Answer 2

Pot roast is a braised beef dish. Pot roast is typically made by browning a roast-sized piece of beef (taken from the tougher chuck cut) to induce a Maillard reaction, then slow-cooking in an acidulated liquid in a covered dish. Chuck steak, blade steak, and 7-Bone pot roast are recommended, as it is very inexpensive, yet becomes very tender after braising. As with all braises, the slow cooking tenderizes the tough meat, while the liquid exchanges its flavor with that of the beef. The result of a good pot roast should be tender, succulent meat and a rich liquid that lends itself to gravy. Pot roast is often served with carrots and/or potatoes simmered in the cooking liquid, though less orthodox vegetable preparations are known (Alton Brown introduces one such preparation in the Good Eats episode A Chuck for Chuck).

Answer 3

i think a chuck roast makes the best pot roast. supermarkets will generally put a sticker on the package that will say pot roast. make sure you pick a piece with some fat on it. a roast that is to lean will end up dry and not as tasty. good luck
