Did you know...
When buying meat from the grocery store, it's important to look at the origin of your beef. Why? Any meat that passes USDA inspection receives a "product of the USA" label, regardless of if it comes from Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the United States or anywhere in between. Your ground beef you're buying from the store could be a mix of tens to hundreds of different animals with different original ground together in a single package - EW!
That's why it's important to know your food & know your farmer! Whether it be a farmer from outside your state or a farmer in the town next door, I would love to encourage you to learn more about the farmers behind the meat you're buying/eating.
Which brings me to a really fun Christmas special announcement!
I'm partnering with Darlington Ranch Co., a 5th generation ranch in Montana, to host a Christmas Giveaway. One lucky winner will receive a HUGE grass-fed, Montana born & raised, beef bundle that is all process at a small USDA inspected facility in the heart of Montana. Darlington Ranch's mission to stick to their roots to ensure all steps of the beef chain remain local, in order to deliver 100% pure Montana product.
Slice the chuck roast in smaller portions. Season all sides with salt, then black pepper, then flour.
Add the olive oil to a large dutch oven over medium high heat.
Add the seasoned chuck roast portions to sear 2-3 minutes untouched on each side, until golden brown on the edges.
Remove the chuck roast to a plate.
Add the butter and sliced onions. Sauce for 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and sauce 1 minute.
Add the apple cider to deglaze the dutch oven for 2 minutes.
Add the beef back into the dutch oven with the chopped carrots, apples, beef broth, and herbs.
Cover the dutch oven with its lid and place in the center rack of your oven to slow roast for 3-4 hours, until super tender.
Remove bay leaves and/or herbs and shred the beef between two forks. Enjoy warm!
How to Keep Slow Cooked Beef Warm?
If making in advance, I'd recommend fully cooking the beef, including shredding the tender beef between two forks. Place the shredded beef back into the dutch oven and stir everything together to help the beef absorb all the juices. Cover with the dutch oven lid and place back in the oven at 200F until ready to serve!
Store pot roast leftovers in the cooled dutch oven, or in smaller containers with a lid, in the fridge up to 4 days.
How to Reheat Pot Roast Leftovers:
Pot roast leftovers make amazing lunches the next day! You simple can heat it up on the stovetop, stirring continually to prevent any burning, or in the microwave in 30 second intervals.
