My mother used to make pot roasts, but not use the liquid as gravy. Instead she'd use that for stews made out of the left overs from the pot roast. One time she put the potatoes in too early and something came up that prevented her from taking the roast off on time. So the potatoes completely dissolved while the roast was cooking (they had been peeled). The stock from that roast made some of the best beef stew I've ever had. From there on out she would always added mashed potatoes to her beef stews and, if cooked enough, they were never grainy.

My family always does rich chicken noodle soup with mashed potatoes. Thick homemade dumplings/noodles, lots of veg, and a hearty broth. When ladling into the serving bowl, a scoop of mashed potatoes goes into the bottom. It starts out pretty boring, just adding a little bit of mashed potatoes on each spoonful, but by the end it totally dissolves throughout the soup and makes the last little bit of soup super creamy.

Winter is approaching. You should do a Dutch/Belgian stew. Which means you use beer (a flavourful dubbel or tripel will do well) and ontbijtkoek which will act as a roux. If you can't get ontbijtkoek, gingerbread is probably an acceptable substitute. Preferably one that's a bit soft, like a pound cake. Be careful not to use too much or it will overpower your dish. And then whatever else you put in a stew. If you mostly stew meat strips and not much else, it's basically hachee and you could serve it as a side dish to a nice plate of stamppot. Which is basically potatoes and vegetables mashed together. There are some vegetables that are particularly traditional. Or you could make it a rich stew with lots of ingredients.

As an Irish guy this looks like a very good roast dinner. Normally I'd just chuck the joint into a slow cooker with carrots, onion, garlic, celery as well as herbs and beef stock and leave it over night. I'll definitely take on board brazing the beef and try out the adding the gelatin to the gravy. Mainly I'd do the potatoes different, they'd be boiled to the point of near slightly falling apart and the roasted they'll form a layer of semi-mashed potato that'll brown on the bottom and top around the actual roast potatoes. I'd love to see you try cooking a joint of Irish ham. I'm sorry I don't know what cut it is (leg or bacon maybe) but I know its salt brined. The way you cook it is by boiling it in a pot of water pouring out the water then filling it and boiling it again. You do this about 3-4 times each time you do for about 1-1.5 hours the more you do it the more tender the ham gets and the less salty. Then you'd score the ham brush it down with a generously with a mix of honey, clove and mustard powder and roast it in a glass dish in with water or stock at the bottom, brushing it down every now and then with more honey, clove and mustard mix. Once the top has a good colour to it flip it and do the same again with the bottom. I and my mother would do this well before dinner so we'd slice the ham and reheat it in the same stock we roasted it in (usually chicken stock). And serve it with parsley sauce (or gravy if you want goes better with the potatoes I think), roast potatoes and your choice of veg. I'd recommend you do a mix of roast veg, I like carrots, parsnips, bell peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, onion and garlic but you can do whatever you want.

my family's trick for clean pot roast slices: cook the meat for a couple hours, take it out when it's partially cooked and not fully tender yet, slice it, then return the sliced roast back to the pot to finish braising. you get clean slices that are also just as tender as you want them to be without the risk of them shredding or tearing unevenly if you tried to slice them when the roast is already fully cooked. we tried this trick once years ago for passover brisket and never went back.

yayy new adam ragusea video just dropped

Your pot roast with tomato sauce is the best pot roast I’ve ever had! None other has overshadowed it

I'd recommend Sautéed mirepoix (carrots, celery, onions), coated in flour once close to done, then deglazed with amontillado sherry or marsala wine before adding all the stock. The maillard reactions of the toasty flour really add nuttiness to the gravy, and the mirepoix sautéed in fat really are different than if you just chucked them into the boil without frying in oil. Also, in my house we don't add green onions - we add huge amounts of fresh chopped Italian parsley. And we serve the gravy with crusty toasty BREAD 🥖 and RHÔNE WINE 🍷. Chinese dark soy sauce is another secret weapon, as is fish sauce or dried anchovy paste for umami. Or just add a marrow bone to the pot.

Adam, Thanks for making content rich videos with an amazing production quality. You're a pleasure to watch. 😀

I'd probably have diced the celery myself. It's one of those ingredients that isn't great when you get a big mouthful of it, but adds great flavour to the dish. Also I'd probably want yorkshire pudding to soak up the gravy and I'd probably do roasted or baked-then-mashed potatoes instead of putting them in the pot with the skin on, but I know this is supposed to be a one pot meal. Worcestershire sauce is a great addition to a brown gravy, too.

Gravy should never be bland. In England you could drink it by the pint, it’s the best part of any Sunday roast, stew, casserole, pie etc. even with chippy chips if you’re northern. The meat juices and fat normally give it the flavour. Along with salt and stock. Although powdered gravy “Bisto” is now common

your tomato based pot roast is so good

Helping the gravy taste like something is the key to success.

Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf and mustard powder. Also deliberately cut some of the potatoes much smaller than the others so that they dissolve into the gravy for thickening - they do not get “grainy”. A teaspoon of ketchup gives sweetness and tartness at the same time without having to add sugar or honey.

I grew up on 7 blade pot roast, not a commonly available cut nowadays. My mom never used tomatoes, the gravy was always great with no thickening or mustard. She'd cook the meat so it was fall apart stringy.

The look of that meat reminds me a bit of sauerbraten.

For an Americanized version, I think the central question is whether it matters what type of beer you use. It seems like it might so... What beers can we get in the US? -I can get Flemish and Belgian beer, but it's at a price point that I would not use for cooking. American knockoffs are similarly too expensive. (This is sort of like how I don't use gruyere all that much even if it is awesome.) -Stouts and black lagers are available and affordable enough to cook with, though lacking the complexity of some of the dark belgian stuff. -Low quality American sour Ales are affordable enough to cook with in some parts of the country, though lacking the complexity of a Flemish red or a Gueze. -Hard cider... Offers some similar aspects to a sour ale. Possibly more available. It is conceivable that one could emulate a Flemish red* (for cooking, not drinking purposes) by mixing an American stout with an affordable American sour or a dry hard cider, providing some rich maltiness and some fruitiness. Unfortunately, this requires being able to enjoy the remaining beer to make financial sense (This is probably more of a problem with the American sour ale). *Near as I can tell, the recommended beer type.

It doesn't taste good, so don't use it. I don't know what's with Americans loving garlic and onion powder but damn, they taste nothing like real garlic or onion but therefore very bad instead lol

actually managed to find some onion powder in a tescos once. Its not good. and yeah i also found it weird that scallions werent scallions across the world

Worcestershire sauce is a good way to add some flavour and acidity. Also, another top tip is to add a teaspoon or two (to taste) of marmite to really give it a bit of saltiness and umami flavour.

Tbf a lot of American things are actually European things we incorporated over time

Maggi sauce > Soy sauce for us in this use case.

Crock pot works just fine

A wooden spatula is amazing for scraping stuff off pans. Not really needed with a sauce of any sort, but if you're not deglazing then it's a lifesaver.
