    I made this last night in an instant pot. The meat was pretty tender but the sauce wasn’t very flavorful. I used Cabernet for the wine and Whole Foods beef broth. The arrowroot powder didn’t thicken the sauce either.

    To give extra flavor, I sauté the onion and garlic right after I seared the meat. Then I deglaze the pan with the broth. I normally use homemade bone broth. This extra step gives SOOOO MUCH FLAVOR!!!

    A large chef's fork or two works better than tongs for lifting, and despite the widespread myth, it does not damage the roast. Rosemary and wine are fine, but if you have a good, flavorful cut of meat, they are not necessary. They tend to overpower the flavor of a fine piece of beef.

    How do you prevent the Rosemary from leaving a bitter taste? I’ve read to add it toward the end, which I’ve done and it helped but love you’re able to have it in the whole time without issue!

    Hi Lisa! I love your videos, thank you so much for all you do! Can you give a suggestion on where you buy your linen aprons? I followed the link you provided but it says the item is no longer available : (

    Do not put pepper before cooking. It has nice essential oil that will go away in cooking and leave the 'hot'. Instead give a grinder tuen just after it's ready. Also, the pan/skillet with oil should be very hot before putting the meat. That way it gets the nice crust

    I make this regularly. It’s a hit! And I can morph the leftovers into other dishes during the week. I add the herbs to the skillet when I deglaze the pan with wine and add the beef broth. Then pour into the crockpot.
    Yum!

    Hello: Love the idea of this recipe. Would love to know if you’ve tried it with plant based meat substitutes? Could anyone recommend one that works in pot roast. I would prefer a rec that has been tested and found to be successful in terms of flavour, texture and colouring. Much appreciation👩‍🦳.

    I love the comment on the oil splatters! I make them all the time and my wife hates them (but I do try and wipe them up!). Thinking of trying this tomorrow during our atmospheric river that will be arriving in CA! Thanks for another amazing recipe Lisa! This will be perfect this fall!

    shall I ask for more slow cooker recipes with garbanzo beans, lentils and any other beans of your liking? I find them so comforty and hearty in the winter. And leaving them in the pot in the morning and finding such a goodie to eat when you come back home to warm you up in the evening is just marvelous.

    Hi! I am thinking in getting an slow cooker, but I already have a pressure cooker, which is the opposite: the meat can be ready in 1 hour. But I want to ask, is there a difference between those two methods for cooking the meat 🥩?

    Oh my gosh, this made me so happy! So many great tips, as getting a good flavor for pot roasts has always been difficult for me. Can I substitute turnip or sweet potatoes for the potatoes you used? Regular potatoes don't agree with my digestive system. 🙂
