Cook 1 Chuck Roast, Feed your family THREE different meals!
How Do I Cook a Beef Roast?
This is one of the more common questions I get, and am so happy to answer. Because I myself, didn't always know what to do with my Beef Roasts, but I learned and you can too! Let me help ya:)
If you have only been enjoying ground beef, and steaks I want to encourage you to try a ROAST! Not only is it easy to stretch, but what a budget, valueable cut. 3 meals, 1 roast, I like it ;)
You'll finally be able to relax as you shuttle your kids around to afterschool activities, because you've got a 3-4 lb roast cooking and 2 more meals planned for dinner this week, Halleulujah!
Check out the 3 family meals you can get out of one Chuck Roast! [See recipes below]
Dinner #1 Juicy Beef Roast over Mashed Potatoes
Salt generously [Can use table salt, seasoning salt, your preference]
Pepper generously
Can use any other favorite seasonings Garlic powder, Onion powder, etc.
12 oz. Can of Beer
Celery 2-3 stalks
Carrots 1-2
12 whole garlic cloves or I use minced garlic
1/2 cup Onion sliced
Herbs: Try Rosemary, Thyme, or Parsley measure with your heart;)
Step 1: Brown your roast
Rub Chuck roast with oil and seasonings, and sear it first in a skillet. This really locks in the seasons and creates a nice flavorful crust.
Step 2: Add to Slow Cooker
After you've seared the Chuck Roast, place in slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients.
Step 2: Add to Slow Cooker
Cook low and slow for 8 hours. When done, shred Chuck Roast with forks and serve with vegetable over mashed potatoes.
Tip: Don't discard juices/broth roast was cooked in, save for tomorrow's dinner
Dinner #2 French Dip Sandwiches
Previously cooked Chuck Roast and Juices
Hoagie style buns
Provolone cheese, sliced
Grilled Onions, if you choose
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
Horseradish sauce [I like mild]
Step 1: Reheat the Meat
Add Worcestershire and soy sauce to Chuck Roast & Juices/Broth. Bring all to a simmer on stove top. Remove from heat and prep your hoagie bun.
Step 2: Butter your bread
You can butter your bread and heat the bun. Then spread a little horseradish on the bun and add your shredded beef, a slice of Provolone cheese, and grilled onions. And Bam, dinner #2!
Dinner #3 Shredded Beef Tex-Mex Salad
2-3 Cups Leftover Shredded Beef Roast with Juices
1 tbsp taco seasoning, up to double, to taste
1 cup Ranch Dressing
⅓ cup salsa
Salad greens, and your favorite salad toppers
Step 1
Put the beef in a large skillet with 1 tbsp of taco seasoning. Cook over medium-high heat until beef is heated through. Taste, and add more taco seasoning if you like.
Step 2
Combine ranch dressing and salsa
Step 3
Spoon some shredded beef over a bed of salad and top with your favorite toppings and a drizzle of Mexi-Ranch.
