Slow Cooker Beef Pot Roast Recipe - How to Make Beef Pot Roast in a Slow Cooker

[boombastic69able]

Nice. Thanks. :-)

[nevilyasha]

my god that looks so awesome

[CChallinor]

you slapped that meat real good :-)

[branzstock5]

I did this, step for step and I hate mushrooms. But as much as I hate them my husband LOVES them. So of course I used them. I have to say, when they were sautee'ing, they smelled So good. I wouldn't ever leave them out for sake of my own marriage. :) I may have used a little too much tomato paste but it wasn't a problem. I will always use this recipe for pot roast! Thanks Chef John

[gennyissocool]

HAHA YOU'RE SO FUNNY

[NinaLuvsFriedChicken]

he sounds like Kermit the frog lol :)

[TS175]

I thought in the industry it was called spanking the meat.

[xjboogzx]

mannnnnnnnnnnn that looks soooooooo gooddd RIGHT NOW! #WaterMouth

[Waremonger]

My mouth started watering when you took the lid off the slow cooker at the end and pulled the roast out.

[alihavli]

The slow cooker is quite a novelty here in the Czech republic, I have ordered mine from the U.K., tried this recipe.....this Sunday dinner has been a huge success:-)

Thank you for putting the recipe on youtube.

[gis2hashis2g]

Does he have a good mashed potato recipe?

[MsKimlo]

Outstanding!

[kebabrullemums]

Im hungry now!!

[AtaroMorelia]

The next time I make roast/stew, I'll definitely use this method. I screwed mine up last time I made it by cutting the meat in sizes too small. Everything turned into mush!

[deeplydeepali]

Just finished and ate it and it is wonderful

[deeplydeepali]

I'm gonna try this recipe today!

[H3N23]

you should make a spicy chili if you havnt already made that

[bcneiman]

Thanks! Looks good!

[CainmosniMirrored]

Mushrooms are nasty. They are grown on shit. Anyone who likes mushrooms for the "earthy" taste actually likes the taste of shit.

[Nickodemusodurn]

@CainmosniMirrored

Please do not project your failure to enjoy food on the rest of us. Go sit in a dark corner and stew about not liking mushrooms and let the rest of us enjoy their HUGE variety of flavors and textures.

[CainmosniMirrored]

@Nickodemusodurn Why do you think I don't enjoy food? Do you like every type of food in existence? Mushrooms are disgusting and add NOTHING to a dish except the taste of shit. I bet you eat lasagna with ricotta cheese which is just as nasty. I don't like fish or seafood either. The smell alone is enough to make me gag. I have a super sharp sense of taste and smell so things like fish and mushrooms register as gross to me. You have a dull sense of taste.

[Nickodemusodurn]

@CainmosniMirrored

True lovers of food lament at a food they do not like, since surely they are missing out on even more flavours. Chef John would disapprove friend! Not at your dislike of a food, but at your slamming of others who enjoy it.

[battelman97]

@CainmosniMirrored a "super sharp sense of taste and smell" wouldn't make things taste worse for you unless they are actually bad food like all fastfood, seafood and mushrooms both taste delicious to certain people and just because you dont like it doesn't mean its bad it means you dont like it, get over yourself

[CainmosniMirrored]

@battelman97 You have no idea what your talking about. Look up supertasters. Supertasters have a higher concentration of taste buds and can taste things more intensely than normal tasters and non tasters. Therefore, things that are strong and pungent like mushrooms are way too overbearing and taste gross. It is similar to eating a whole packet of beef ramen seasoning plain all at once. It isn't pleasant.

[battelman97]

@CainmosniMirrored and? just because you dont like it doenst mean its shit it just means you dont like it. get it?

[Bloodius]

@CainmosniMirrored I used to eat those all the time. (Ramen seasoning packets) and I found they were pretty darn tasty.

[Dairon1869]

@CainmosniMirrored

I have no clue whatsoever if that's true, but my dad definitely has a dull sense of taste and loves the shit out of mushrooms.

I don't like them really, but for me it's a texture problem. To me, they're kind of dry and cardboard-ey or styrofoam-ey raw, and kind of slimy and chewy when cooked. It's just not my thing at all. And I must admit, the whole being grown in poop thing doesn't exactly encourage me to overcome my dislike for them.. I absolutely hate the idea of poop

[LOVEHELlX]

@CainmosniMirrored I like the taste of shit.

[nanagaga2001]

so when do the carrots go in?

[tehpatriarch]

@nanagaga2001 at roughly 3:35

[nanagaga2001]

@tehpatriarch thanks, I must have been distracted at that point and missed it :)

[madskillz808]

@nanagaga2001 with the celery

[Queenvmarie]

OMG my roast turned out amazing! The family LOVED it

[EYEONTHEHORIZON]

I'm preparing the beef already. Cant' wait to prepare it in my slow cooker.

Thanks for doing this chef and I hope you have more suggestions/recipes for us working fans to prepare in the slow cooker.

:)

[Rotorzilla]

If they dont use slow cookers in the pro kitchens, Then how do they cook post roast?

[Natjoos]

Chef Jon, you are simply the real nitty gritty my friend. why is it that you do not have your own show on foodnetwork yet?? well best of luck with that and keep those great recipes coming!

[assjulio79]

Can a worthless nigger do this? or is it strictly for humans? Thanks in advance.

[lechiengrand]

Where's the rimshot after the L-roast joke?!?! That was a classic!

But seriously, thanks for doing a slow cooker recipe. Can't wait to try it.

[ketchuph8r]

You are sooooooooooooooooooooo good cookin'.

[borge225]

Good recipe except I don't understand the bit about the vegetables. Putting the vegetables in with the meat at the beginning is OK for flavoring but you also need to put in some vegetables an hour before the end which is all the time they need to cook. The vegetables put in at the beginning will be mush. Also, I prefer rice cooked separately in a rice cooker and served with this roast and its vegetables. Then I have extra rice for several days for left over roast and other things. Nice man.

[413MB]

Sooooo gud Imma make this next week

[ProgHaven]

5:06 I almost started drooling...

[lilbluehersheykiss]

i actually moaned a little at 5:39. so sensual.

[iluvmypet]

9-eleven

[MrAtaguas]

Hey stop it man you are makin me hungry and its like 1230 in the morning/night?

[ricecake363]

spankin in the flour!

[whoareyou2me]

I just saw in my local paper a recipe for Chicken Paprikash. And I thought, I wonder how Chef John would make this? There are a couple variations. Making the traditional dish and taking the mystery out of it for us would be really great. Please please!

[AniComp777]

is that safe, to be sauteing in cow blood?

[cn324]

actually, in the chef world, it's called spanking the meat @_@

[SavageCheddar]

Prepped it this morning, and came back to the most tender and flavorful roast I've ever had! Don't worry, I won't tell my mom.

[yyymystrygirl]

Oh.. I will whack that thing up!

[adelgado75]

I am going to try using this receipe. Can I add parsnip? Or better yet, parsnip mash with garlic. Ummmmmmmmmmmm. I am making this tomorrow.

[adelgado75]

I have made pot roast in the slow cooker without browning it and it tasted good.  It was not stupid. I am just lazy. Love the videos.

check out Elba cooks for you...

[barkpeeler2000]

11 dislikes? whaaa?

[taniariasmith]

@barkpeeler2000 because they're vegan and members of PETA ;P

[barkpeeler2000]

@taniariasmith ...you're probably right

[hothotheatlive]

You have a very melodious voice

[idahama]

for some weird reason i make myself believe i'm allergic to mushrooms, i wonder how they taste.

[dancingsprite]

@idahama I am allergic to mushrooms, to me they taste like something that will make me very ill, usually involving a trip to the er

[PnSylvia455]

get a date bit.ly\n16lux

[sxethea1]

drooooooool

[susangm]

I made this recipe (without the tomato paste) yesterday. It was great! Thanks, Chef John!

[GAYPRIDE1985]

mmmmmm!!! Looks delicious, but needs a little math. Pot Roast - Mushrooms = GREAT!!! (Mushrooms are yucky)

[Fujitsyu]

@GAYPRIDE1985 I completley agree :D

[GAYPRIDE1985]

@Fujitsyu YAY!!! ......it makes me sad how often he uses them!

[Trokolol]

i clicked the thumbnail because it looked like a cooked toad.

[GigiLowe]

This is my invitation. Actually, I'm ordering you to come to my house and cook me food. Everyday. :D

[candieyc]

@foodwishes hey chef, is the only difference of cooking in slow cooker and pot in stove is slow cooker is electric? or does it cook better? more evenly?

[basilwhite]

Strain the cooking liquid into a dutch oven on high until it reduces to THE GREATEST SAUCE IN CIVILIZATION

[Antiks72]

This is so sexy it needs a parental advisory warning.

[mryungtalentedDJQ8]

lmfao @The Top Comments , chef john is hilarious man

"looks like a alot but that's a big thick piece of meat"

that's what she said

[ayumihamano]

ooooh john, thank you so much for posting these recipies. yo make me sooo hungry and I just finnished eating.

[lauweroos]

why not just pop in in the oven at 160 celcius? does the slow cooker make it taste better?

[missnikkk]

why am i watching this before bed???! T__T

[mydclif3]

Making it now. It's in the slow cooker as we speak. I went to whole foods and asked for 7 bone pot roast, they had no clue.

[CraftyKoo]

That is one mother fudger of a steak

[MissEricaGirl]

Hi Chef John! I'm a HUGE Fan, my fiance recognizes you as 'the cooking guy I'm always watching' you're talking from my computer so often. Anyway - I want to do this recipe SO BAD, but - I'm allergic to mushrooms :(

Have a suggestion on what I can use instead?

Thank you! ♥♥

[Kazanu06]

@MissEricaGirl More meat!

[zeroblah]

@MissEricaGirl It's hard to replace mushroom, but you can probably pull off this recipe without the mushrooms.

It will lack little in taste and texture.

Some people suggest adding more stock or spice to compensate but I don't think that will work with this recipe.

[citycall90]

Meat, mushrooms, butter, pepper, onions and carrots.

These are my favourite ingredients...yummy

Thank u and God bless you, Chef John. :D

[squint02]

Chef John! This recipe is a winner :) My fiance made it and added hot peppers in it as well..delicious! I'm a lucky lady :)

[ith4aja]

Help.. I'm having a foodgasm..

[ith4aja]

Say "Hi" to me chef john.. please say "hi".. (n_n)

[NekoCylestia]

Wow, that looks fantastic!

[stuco211]

Wouldn't you get more flavor out of the bones by leaving them in, or is it all out by the time they release?

[you1me1and1them]

@stuco211 the bones have been in there a while all the flavor is released

[kushXhaze]

Put the whole potatoes in the cooker...with butter. Green beans are good in there also.

[chococat143]

I just made the pot roast this morning. I wish I had seen this before I started cooking it!

[awaisi74]

gatava



[KrazyKindaPOPSTAR]

i'm drooling...

[txasgrifflover]

Best pot roast I ever had. You are amazing. Thanks so much

[blessingsgirl]

Chef John made me fall in love with cooking

[asiew]

this looks amazing.. but i cant eat beef =(

can i substitute it will pork? =)

[amanning8612]

@asiew Lamb would be my choice, if I wanted to make that recipe without beef. A nice big leg of lamb, butterflied, could be treated exactly like the beef roast in the video, and I promise you'd like the results.

[asiew]

@amanning8612 hmmm... I guess i'll try it out! =) Thanks! =)

[Hemulen40]

Slow charmer ! :P

[larry89]

........DAMN THAT LOOKS GOOD!

[KaikipBT7]

....I've grown up with the stupid method of slow cooking. It works for curry, but now I feel ashamed by my ignorance. I will cook this and rectify the years wasted.

[Punkylolita]

Fml, watching this at 12:30 am

[BrandonBedolla012095]

I'm a 16 year old boy, I watch your videos ALL the time HAHAHAHHAH! I have no reason to, I mean like when the hell will I ever try to make something like this ?

[DJBigMD]

dos that taste like gulash?

looks pretty much like that :) :)

[MOLRobocop]

Chef - this recipe got me laid. Admittedly, this isn't a terribly unusual thing, as I am in a committed relationship. But, I'd like to think the food put me over the top tonight.

[veeBUTT]

4:20, that little piece of onion that pops out.. hahaha.

[azntranc3951]

@veeBUTT

that was kind of weird o_O

[txasgrifflover]

Here's a food wish...what is your method of a whole chicken in the crockpot?

[txasgrifflover]

I forgot to add, spanking my meat really made it brown well.

[Dobsessed]

This loooks unbelievably goooooooo

[txasgrifflover]

Chef, I made your recipe today, have about another hour to go, and the aroma is making us insane. My DH said he could smell it from the porch before even coming in! The roast looks amazing. I did throw in some baby red potatoes. Your method is perfect, and I've been crocking pot roast for 25 years. Thanks!

[Trokolol]

why am i watching this @ 2:49 in the midnight? =___=

[fubar555]

I don't have a slow cooker, can I use my phone and order a pizza with mushrooms on instead?

[beauty59101]

hmmmmmmmmmm looks so good! gonna try making this :)

[ZackyTay]

yummmM!!!

[Illy3Luis]

im about to spank flour into my meat right now at 1 30 at night

[TigerTurban]

well met!

[thezachman]

Make the classic canadian poutine!!! :D

[cocoapeach]

By the way, could you follow this same thing using a pressure cooker? What is the biggest difference? Which way do you prefer?

[cocoapeach]

OMG this looks so friggin good.

[blue2765]

Hey, I'm not stupid for putting in all in the pot.

[mellowmark1]

@blue2765

Yes you are.

[Robertsegade]

I like crustification

[joelruns]

Please come live at my house XD

[foodwishes]

@joelruns Why the hell would I do that?

[joelruns]

@foodwishes Shouldn't that be obvious?

[itsaidhi]

@foodwishes

yeah, he's got to make videos

i cook my own food, I idolize toy Chef John, you're one of the reasons I'm taking Culinary at my school.

[SexxiiBlaque]

@foodwishes Wow that was harsh lol. So this is the kind of comment someone has to post in order for you to respond to your supporters lol? (kind of just kidding we know you're only one person and also busy)

[RandomProductionsX1]

@foodwishes LOL

[sakura159298]

@foodwishes that's kind of a mean way to reply.....

[KumaRAGE17]

@foodwishes: That's an extraordinarily mean way to respond to what was obviously a joke.

[CasualBrutality]

@KumaRAGE17 LOL, get the fuck over yourself.

[KumaRAGE17]

@CasualBrutality: LOL, nice way to act like a bitch. Pretty convincing.

[CasualBrutality]

@KumaRAGE17 Not quite as convincing as you acting like an ass twat. Please, a standing ovation!

[KumaRAGE17]

@CasualBrutality: Ass twat! Nice. Very original, very classy. I like how I'm somehow a bad guy because I thought John's response was a little harsh. Way to defend professionalism, friend. Applause from all ends. You are a piece of work.

[takadi]

@KumaRAGE17

He's italian, what do you expect

[jeffreyes519]

@foodwishes I HAVE SACKS OF CAYENNE FOR YOU!

[SunflowerTech]

@foodwishes so you can cook

[Euphemiya]

@SunflowerTech he can do that at his home xD

[CaitiffFTW]

@foodwishes In that case, can I live at your house, at least until I learn how to cook fairly close to this well?

[LordHannigan]

@foodwishes How do you manage self control? That looked amazing seriously after it was done I would have put the camera down. But you are a pro thanks man honestly best thing going on youtube.

[GonetoSleep21]

@foodwishes Yeah, that idea is, well . . . stupid.

[snowblazer12]

@foodwishes cuz he will put out!

[rosevoun]

@foodwishes hes just joking - -"

[alexandr123]

[aznxCOOLxguy]

I would kill a cow just for this dish.

[kokoka852]

2:31 <-- thats what she said :)

[stephanolio24]

That slab of meat is beautiful...

[HikerNine]

The Ol' Spanka-Spanka.

[SoyuzBot]

that looks so frickin tender.

[1kperday]

Dammit... and I just chewed out my butcher because my 7-bone roast didn't have seven bones in it. Boy, is my face red.

[GettingmyMACon]

Chef John. I wish Youtube had a love button instead of like.

[MelonBerriable]

Is there a way to do this if I don't have a slow cooker? :o

[falloutsyndrom]

@MelonBerriable just do it in a pot on low-medium heat

[KasCooks]

Maybe Cayenne!?

[angiejacobsrs]

you're right...browning the meat is super important for flavor...otherwise your meat will be bland and you'll wish you would have taken the time to sear it!

[immortalestella]

if i don't like mushrooms, can i leave them out?

[hygienist2]

For those unable to understand them, slow cookers run at a low heat and cook slowly. Good for tougher cuts. Unlike the burners on your stove the slow cooker can run completely unattended fairly safely. The slow cooker uses a lot less energy than a stove top burner for a long slow cook. The energy savings over an oven cooked meal are less clear - but the longer the meal takes in the oven the more energy savings favour your slow cooker.

[lula1699]

ahhh sooooo hhhuuunnnnggggggrrryyyyy NNOOOOOWWWWWW

[luuern]

Maybe you can open a restaurant!

[MrAgentGreeny]

I looked up "spanking the flour" cause I just don't trust you Chef John :P

[Gbral]

My foodwish as fall is coming: Quiche lorraine.

[katkitkat1031]

Can you do a crock pot rib recipe??(: pleassssssssse

[MisfitSpazz01]

Hmm - spank the beef, choke the chicken?

[falloutsyndrom]

dont see btw [the point of having one(a slowcooker)]

[falloutsyndrom]

Slowcooker...thats something american for sure, never heard of something useless like that here in Europe... a pot does the same thing, on medium heat, i dont the point of having a "Slowcooker"...

[laramis]

@falloutsyndrom You have to remember- it gets hot as hell here in the US. Unlike rainy, cold Europe. So the crockpot was created so as to not have to use the oven/stove.

[falloutsyndrom]

@laramis that makes sense^^

[stupidstart101]

cheff John could you please show me how to make an easy GREAT salad in about 10 minutes?

[Vincentm444]

the sound on this video is amazing lol

[honshu7]

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

Pot roast is perfect for this time of year in Ohio, the weather is cooling off, the leaves are starting to change color and a nice comfort food dish like this fits in perfect. Chef John I tell a lot of customers at the store I work at, about your site, they love it too!
