Slow Cooker Amish Pot Roast
A savory, tender Amish pot roast cooked low and slow for melt-in-your-mouth flavor. Perfect for family dinners and easy to pair with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chuck roast
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup prepared coffee
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large white onion halved and thinly sliced
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp cold water for slurry
- fresh chopped parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned.
- Season the seared roast with garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper to taste.
- Place the seasoned roast in your slow cooker. Add sliced onions and 2-3 bay leaves around the roast.
- Pour 1 cup of brewed coffee, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce over the roast and onions.
- Cook on LOW for 9 hours with the lid on to retain moisture.
- Remove the roast from the slow cooker and skim off any excess fat. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir this slurry into the slow cooker liquid. Set to HIGH and cook for 20 minutes until thickened.
- Shred the roast and return it to the slow cooker to warm through. Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.
Notes
