This classic Pot Roast recipe is simple but full of flavored. Full of potatoes, carrots and on onion, the slow-simmered beef gets wonderfully fall-apart tender.

If you look through the recipes on either Spicy Southern Kitchen or my other blog Fort Mill SC Living, you know that I’m a big fan of Sara Foster’s recipes. She has 4 cookbooks published (I think…, or may be 5. I’ve lost count.). Her Fresh Every Day: More Great Recipes from Foster’s Market cookbook, which was her second to be published, seems to be the one I cook from most often.

Sara Foster is really big on using fresh, local ingredients. Her recipes tend to be simple and sophisticated at the same time, something that’s not easy to accomplish. If you happen to be in the Research Triangle Park Area of North Carolina, a trip to one of her restaurants (Foster’s Market) is definitely worth your time. There are locations in both Durham and Chapel Hill.
Sara’s recipe for Pot Roast is a basic one, one she claims she ate every Sunday of her life growing up. It’s simple, wholesome, comfort food and will make you want to gather the whole family around the dining room table for an old-fashioned, formal Sunday Supper. The meat becomes so flavorful and tender after hours of roasting in the oven, yet the fresh herbs keep it tasting fresh. With a pound of potatoes added in, this is an easy 1-dish meal.
