@platedprettypgh: My viral French Onion Pot Roast will quickly become your go to roast recipe. With over 1.5 million views on Instagram, it’s definitely a favorite of my followers for a reason! It takes a little patience with slow cooking the onions and the roast, but it’s perfect for a cozy day at home. And it’s well worth it. French Onion Pot Roast 3-4 lb. chuck roast Olive oil 4 tablespoons butter 4 large onions very thinly sliced 4 cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons flour 1/4 cup cognac 3/4 cup white wine 4 cups beef broth 2 bay leaves 6 springs of thyme, plus more more topping Baguette, sliced and lightly toasted 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese Season chuck roast very generously with salt and pepper. Heat a little oil over high heat in a Dutch oven. Sear all sides of the chuck roast for five minutes each until it gets a nice crust. Set roast aside and reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the same pan (don’t wipe clean!) and add the onions. It may seem like a lot but they will reduce a lot! Once the onions are coated in butter, reduce heat to low or medium low. You do NOT want to brown the onions at all by sautéing them. You want them to slowly break down and gain color while staying translucent. This can take up to an hour. Once onions are golden you can preheat your oven to 325. Add garlic, and then flour. Turn heat back to medium and let flour get golden. Add cognac and white wine and let absorb. Add beef broth slowly (it will thicken in the oven). Add salt and pepper to taste. Return roast to pan. Cover and bake for 3 - 3 1/2 hours or until fork tender. Remove from oven, discard thyme and bay leaves, and shred beef into large pieces. Carefully arrange the toasted baguette slices on top and then top with the gruyere. Broil until cheese is golden. Top with some more fresh thyme. #food #sundayroast #dinner #frenchonion #potroast
