It’s one of those Sunday dinner staples that we make again and again because everyone likes it! You can also prepare it in the Instant Pot, just like with this Instant Pot Pot Roast and Instant Pot Roast Beef recipe.

Crockpot pot roast braised in beer
This crockpot roast beef recipe is made with a beer. The beer helps to tenderize the meat while it’s cooking and the alcohol cooks off. If you are trying to avoid alcohol, then omit it and double the beef broth.
What to serve with pot roast?
This is a one-pot meal, so you don’t need to make anything to go with it. However, if you are trying to stretch it to feed more people, we suggest a green salad and homemade bread. Here are some bread recipes to try:
