Lazy Day Pot Roast - NOT Your Mom's Boring Pot Roast - Glen And Friends Cooking

Looks amazing. Must try! 😋💗

Making this today, vegetarian. With the veggies I had in the fridge. Some mushrooms, a leek, onion, 1.5 pepper, garlic, carrots, tomotoes and thyme. I put in some Worcestersauce in stead of Vegemite. With potatoes of course. Will see if the kids like it. I predict one does, one not . Haha

On your recommendation, Glen, I added marmite to my beef stew recipe last week and it added a wonderful flavor! I'll be using it in my next pot roast too. Thank you!

A hunk of beef that size here in the UK would easily cost over £30 to £40. That's some people's weekly shopping budget. 😱

Really appreciate this easy recipe and thank you for sharing. Will save this for when things are a little more affordable. Share more easy recipes. The hot dog chowder and grannies buns are some of our family favorites now. Some of the vintage recipes are really good too. Thank you!

i live in thestater new jersey we dont have marmite here what can i sub for it

You had me at lazy

It always strikes me as odd that Glen and Julie always eat off the same place.

What is Marmite and is it necessary?

Great recipe! Somehow from the intro, I was expecting a light colored sauce. (Your sauce looks similar to mine which makes sense due to the tomato paste and slow cook.)
I definitely agree about covering the pot on the stove to release the fond on the pot sides.
No garlic?

It looks great. Wish I could justify buying the chuck roast.

Yeah, I haven't even purchased ground beef for months now...

Some care required due to the salt content of Marmite/Vegemite.

Did you turn/flip the beef during cooking? Looked like the Beef had Tomato paste on the top

Hello from Australia, pot roast isnt really popular here we have a stew which is similar,but we normally use cheap steak cuts cut into cubes, so there isnt anything labeled a boneless pot roast in the supermarket/butcher, so I am wondering what the actual cut of beef is, chuck, blade, bolar blade etc?, thankyou

Tomato (paste) purée in a can??
Um.
We have tubes now.
Like toothpaste!

Made this today. Firstly it smells amazing. We are about to eat. But my gravy thickened on its own. I used beef bouillon paste instead of marmite since I couldn’t find any today. Maybe that’s the difference?

Bro, don't do that to me. You said "it's 2022.. I almost had a heart attack" - nearly gave me one, too.

I never liked it as a kid, seeing the half can of tomatoe paste left over in the fridge. I was so happy to discover tomatoe past in a squeeze tube

If I cook it exclusively on top of the stove, I brown the beef.
If it’s cooked in the oven, I don’t brown it.

As you're saying "it's 2022" would be a great idea to do a series of cheap historical meals form your library, updated for 2022 (in a cheap way).
Just a suggestion

I have always done roasted beef, lamb, poultry and was inspired to try a pot roast after watching your video. I followed most of your recipe, but I substituted pearl onions for cut onion, added turnip and used the whole can of paste. I didn't have Marmite/Vegimite and looked online and found that Magi could be a quasi substitute. The end result was delicious. It is soooooo much easier to put together and clean up after than doing a full Sunday roast. I will never abandon a Sunday roast with Yorkies, but I will definitely do this pot roast again!! The flavour is out of this world. I also boiled yummy yellow potatoes and the gravy was delish on them!!

I don't get all the hate on cooked carrots ... I love how they taste after soaking up all the flavorful juices. Same with potatoes. When I make a meat dish, there's more veggies than meat. Healthier and cheaper and just as delicious. Rutabaga and turnips are a favorite addition.

Seems like it would be good with polenta.

platypus

You and me both never been a fan of cooked carrots.

I'm from Guelph but mostly watched American cooking, am I pronouncing shallots wrong because you say it very differently LOL. I even lived in Toronto for 5 years.

If I don't have marmite or vegemite, is there anything I can substitute? Wild guess: Miso???

Just before I saw this video, I purchased two good-sized pot roasts for half price. Normally, they would have been $60, but I got them for $30. For anyone wondering, they were regularly priced $7.99 per pound. I was literally wondering if anyone had a good recipe that would require I brown the meat. Thank you SOOO much, Glen!

I suggest using an electric pressure cooker. The same results, but with many benefits: Cooks faster if you want or you can slow cook or if are slow cooking you can use a crock pot. The power consumption is a LOT LESS than the oven method with either alternate method.

oh wow does that look heavenly! I love a good pot roast

What did you work at before you became a great chef?

Hey Glen. Long time viewer here, potentially first time commenter. I just wanted to say how appreciative I am for the "hacks" you gave in this video (skipping the browning step for the meat, using a nice dollop of Marmite/Vegemite and tomato paste in the stew, the use of white wine over red). I made this pot roast recently and it's fantastic and so easy to throw together. I love your content including the snippets of history thrown in for good measure.

Love your recipes
Question?
Why do you add marmite and what does it do , is it like molasses?

Looks amazing be great with pasta

I made this in my slow cooker last Saturday then went to my meeting. I had to use red wine as I had no white. Thickened the sauce on the stovetop. It was very very good. Reheated for meal again Wednesday. Then, Sunday, I cooked the carrot onion celery mix (in beef bacon fat), chopped the meat, some fresh mushrooms and added with the “gravy”. When boiling, I added a can of corn, and some frozen peas. 20 minutes of simmer, then let it cool all day. Warmed up at meal time, added dumplings. Will get another meal from this. Great way to get four or five meals from a $12 hunk of beef. Thank you.

If you have extra liquid in the pot, reserve some to make the base for an amazing soup.

Sometimes you can still find some bargains on meat. A while ago, Costco sold full size briskets for an amazing price. That's a lot of meat, that can be cut down to several roasts that will serve small families well. It's extra work to cut them and package them properly for the freezer but it was well worth it. Keep your eye out for deals, and grab them when you see them. Shopping for what is the best price is a great strategy for saving money. You can always adjust your plans to take advantage of a better price instead of rigorously sticking to a plan made in advance.

I grew up on my dad's venison swiss steak and mom's pot roast....I was so excited when I realized this recipe is a perfect mash-up of those two things and I am making it for dinner tonight! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes. We love your videos! More chicken please.....as in your cute kitty! Chicken needs more air time! LOL

Great roast. Cooks faster than the video recipe says. I made this pot roast for the second time today. Both times my roast was well cooked in substantially less than five hours. Today's roast was 2.5 pounds . It smelled wonderful between the 2 and 3 hour marks. At 3 hours, I turned the oven down to 300F, and removed the roast at the 4 hour mark. Its internal temperature was 207F. Next time, I will check it at 3 hours. Thanks Glen for the recipe

I hate cooked carrots as well.

You inspired me to make my very own pot roast for the first time ever today and it came out succulent and delicious. Thanks again, Glen!

Looks soooo good, Making this tomorrow!!!!!!!!

For me, that looks too ketchup-ey. I'm not keen on ketchup with pot roast.

marmite is yeast extract...that stuff affects my breathing...

Made this with a pork shoulder/butt. I could hear my grandmother in my mind insisting that i was ruining dinner, not for using pork, but for not browning the meat. I kept reciting the Glen mantra "It'll be fine", and it was. I'm diabetic so i used daikon (large white asian radish) in lieu of potatoes, which I did cook with the meat.

2nd Video of yours I have watched. Very good. Does Julie show up when things are ready all the time? So funny.

I’ve been looking for marmite for a while now and haven’t seen it in the grocery stores. I happen to live in your area. Any hints?

Pot roast is as good as meat gets. It's the high-class version of hamburger stew -- but it's still pretty low-rent.

Sadly, grass-fed chuck is best and that's NOT cheap. Still, any chuck will do. (Fat-removal will likely become necessary.)
