Growing up, my mom always made the best roasts – EVER. We would often enjoy the fall apart tender meat on Sundays because all mom had to do was sear the roast, bake it at 425 F for 30 minutes then turn the oven down to let the roast cook nice and slow so when we returned home from church, the aroma of savory, seasoned roast, carrots and onions met us at the door. Dinner couldn’t come fast enough. My mom taught me that the secret to the most tender roast is to seal in the juices first at a high heat in the oven then turn the oven down to let it continue to cook. If your roast isn’t crazy tender, then it just needs more time, even 30 more minutes can make the world of difference between an “okay” roast and a melt-in-your-mouth one. In addition to my mom’s roasting technique, I have perfected the seasonings of the beef broth bath so this roast drinks up all the spices so every forkful is bursting with flavor. And a seasoned roast means an out-of-this-world seasoned gravy begging to douse your already intoxicating roast, easy slow cooker potatoes and carrots. From mom’s kitchen, to mine, to yours, I am sure this Crazy Tender Pot Roast will become a family favorite for generations!
