WHAT IS THE BEST CUT OF BEEF FOR A POT ROAST?
I was surprised to find that a tougher cut of beef with lots of marbling makes a better roast when making a recipe for a roast in the Crock-Pot. For the most tender meat, choose one of the roasts listed below.
- Chuck Roast (highly marbled with a lot of fat) – also labeled Shoulder Roast, Blade Roast, Chuck Shoulder, Severn Bone Roast
- Bottom Round Roast (leaner than chuck roast) – Roast Rump Roast or London Broil
- Beef Brisket (lots of fat) – comes with a much heftier price tag than either of the others and is usually BBQed or smoked
TIPS FOR THE VERY BEST KETO POT ROAST:
- Use a Chuck Roast as it will be the most tender and flavorful when slow-cooked.
- Use beef broth instead of water for a nice bold flavor.
- While I always skip searing a pot roast to save time, experts say that searing is best. Personally, from testing it both ways, I can’t tell the difference.
- If the pot roast seems tough, it likely needs to slow cook longer. Close the lid and check again in an hour or so.
