Pot Roast and Mashed Potatoes

Posted by Manjeri Skincare Team on

Benefits: This slow-cooked, deeply nourishing dish is rich in protein, minerals, and comforting nutrients that support skin strength and recovery. Pot roast provides iron and amino acids that help improve circulation and support collagen production, while carrots and onions add antioxidants that help protect the skin from stress. Creamy mashed potatoes contribute potassium to support hydration and balance, helping maintain a smooth, healthy-looking complexion.

Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 3 hours | Serves: 4

Ingredients:

For the Pot Roast:

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp sea salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 3 carrots, chopped

  • 2 potatoes, chopped

  • 1 small onion, quartered

  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed

  • 2 cups beef broth

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 tsp thyme

For the Mashed Potatoes:

  • 3 cups potatoes, peeled and chopped

  • 3 tbsp butter

  • ½ cup milk or cream

  • ½ tsp sea salt

Instructions:

  • Season and Sear the Roast: Pat the beef dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the roast on all sides until browned.

  • Build the Base: Add carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic around the roast. Pour in beef broth and stir in tomato paste and thyme.

  • Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.

  • Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Drain and mash with butter, milk or cream, and salt until smooth and creamy.

  • Serve: Plate pot roast with vegetables alongside mashed potatoes and spoon the rich broth over everything.

Shopping Tips:

  • Choose well-marbled chuck roast for the best tenderness and flavor

  • Use fresh vegetables for better nutrient content

  • Opt for high-quality butter and cream for richer mashed potatoes

Cooking Tips:

  • Searing the meat first enhances depth of flavor

  • Cook low and slow for the most tender result

  • Let the roast rest slightly before serving to retain juices

This hearty, comforting meal delivers deep flavor and nourishment, making it a perfect dish to support your glow while enjoying a classic favorite.
