How to Make Pot Roast in 4 Easy Steps
Step 1 - Brown the Roast
For optimum flavor, I highly recommend browning your roast before placing it in the slow cooker.To do so, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season roast liberally with salt and pepper. Place in skillet and brown on all sides. Cover with foil to minimize oil spattering.
Step 2 - Place Pot Roast and Vegetables In Slow Cooker
Place roast in slow cooker. Pour wine and broth over roast. Stir in onions, carrots, thyme and garlic. Cook on high for 4 hours or until meat shreds easily with a fork. The last half hour of cooking time would be a great time to make your crepes. Cover with foil to keep them warm.After pot roast is done, empty roast and vegetables into a colander over a large bowl, reserving cooking liquid. Cover roast and vegetables to keep warm.
Step 3 - Make Pan Sauce
Melt butter over medium heat in large saucepan. Stir in flour and cook, stirring continuously, until mixture turns into thick paste (or roux), golden in color, about 2 minutes. Whisk in reserved cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer and continue to stir until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Add roast, vegetables and frozen peas to saucepan and cover. Reduce heat to low and simmer long enough to reheat roast and cook peas (about 7 minutes). Shred or slice beef into small strips or chunks.
Step 4 - Assemble Crepes
Now that you know how to make pot roast, you're ready for the fun part: putting together your crepes.Lay first crepe flat on your serving dish. Place ½ cup of beef and vegetables over the middle of your crepe. You may serve as is, or roll up burrito style as pictured. Repeat with remaining crepes. Drizzle extra pan sauce on top and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
