However, perfecting the perfect roast is no small feat. Even the queen of homestyle comfort food<\/a>, Ree Drummond, admits that it took her a long time to get her Pioneer Woman pot roast recipe just right.\r\n\r\nAfter many trials and tribulations, her finished recipe is made with simple ingredients and braised<\/a> low and slow in the oven. In fact, it's so straightforward that we had to put it to the test to see if her recipe truly is the perfect pot roast (or if Ina Garten's pot roast<\/a> takes the top spot).\r\n

Building Blocks of the Best Pot Roast Ever<\/h2>\r\n\"top\r\n\r\nAs Ree likely learned on her quest for pot roast perfection, it's essential to get the basic building blocks just right to make the best pot roast ever. Once you nail the basics, you can have fun with unique spins on pot roasts<\/a>.\r\n

Temperature and time<\/h3>\r\nLow and slow is the key when making pot roast (and tender ribs in the oven<\/a>). Most roasts are made with cheaper cuts of beef that tend to be tough unless cooked properly. Low and slow cooking helps retain moisture (juicy!), render fat (flavorful!) and break down connective tissue (tender!), which all lead to a supremely cooked pot roast.\r\n

Cut of beef<\/h3>\r\nFor the best pot roast, you'll want to select a muscular cut of beef<\/a>. While cuts from hardworking regions of the steer tend to be tougher, they also have more flavor when cooked properly. Ree recommends a good old-fashioned chuck roast. This cut will never steer<\/em> you wrong (you know Ree loves a good pun). However, brisket<\/a>, rump roast and bottom round are other cuts commonly used to make pot roast.\r\n\r\nDon't miss these other top tips to make tough meat tender<\/a>.\r\n
