Pot Roast in Beer

  4.2 – 103 reviews  • Pot Roast Recipes

A typical vegetarian combination. Sweet potatoes that have been spiced and baked along with melty cheese. What possibly could go wrong there?

I cooked just over 1lb in the dutch oven on the stove. I used golden cream of mushroom and ground clove for the recipe. We thought it was great! Lots of gravy and the meat was perfect texture. I will be using leftover with egg noodles.
Thomas Lopez
I didn’t use the celery or cloves but added sliced baby bella mushrooms at the end. I also used an amber German beer and the flavor of the gravy was incredible! My new pot roast recipe.
Sarah Rivera
It was pretty good. Recipe calls for round steak, which I used, but I would think a round or chuck roast would be better for this, allowing it to cook longer. Otherwise I made it per the recipe and it turned out well. Perfect for a Sunday all in one pot meal.

I made this dish last Sunday and the house smelled amazing while it was cooking in the crockpot. It had great flavor and was very tender. Will be making this again.

This needed something more. My advise would be to use a darker sweeter beer. Maybe mine would’ve turned out better if I had. I followed it exactly (a bit more garlic as I Love garlic) but otherwise it just wasn’t the best tasting. My husband agreed..
Vicki Martin
this recipe is awesome make sure you use a dark beer makes for richer flavor……
Emily Burns
Probably more like 3.5 stars. It’s not bad, but despite the fact that I added more garlic, plenty of salt and pepper, and oven roasted potatoes with paprika and oregano it was still very bland. Kick it up a notch with your favorite spices and this will be a 4-5 star recipe.
Lori Smith
We really loved this recipe but it was a little tough when cooked in the pan the way the recipe suggests. Next time we are going to do it in the crock pot.
Stacy Sanchez
Delicious recipe! I made mine in the crock pot after searing the meat and sauteeing the vegetables. The meat was so tender and falling apart. Next time I might add something to thicken the gravy, because it was pretty thin, but still very tasty!
Deborah Joseph
I thought that this roast sounded delicious and that it was supported by the reviews, but I have got to say that it was not that wonderful. The juices were pretty bland – I had to add my own seasonings to make this taste decent. I think the only good part of this recipe were the vegetables.
Heather Thomas
Very good meal for a crowd. Substituted 1 can cream of onion & 1 can cream of celery, as I doubled the recipe.
Tonya Jones
My husband absolutely loves this roast and for me it’s okay. I like using lipton onion and golden mushroom flavor better and it’s also much easier. I used a chuck roast and I also used golden mushroom instead.

Been using beer in my pot roasts for years, but never in combo with soup. Followed basic recipe closely. Used a chuck roast trimmed of fat seasoned with a little salt and freshly ground pepper. Used a flavorful pale ale and added a couple sliced carrots along with celery and onion. Cooked in cast iron dutch oven just over 3 hr in a 300° oven. Added portabello mushrooms along with sliced meat for last 30 minutes. Came out very tender and flavorful. Served with noodles and crusty homemade Australian “Damper Bread” it made a hearty dinner on a winter night.
Nancy Hoffman
Outstanding. I didn’t add the cloves or bay leaf. I used polish beer and a jar of turkey gravy/three cans of sliced mushrooms because I didn’t have mushroom soup. I also used salt pepper and garlic/pepper on the roast before i cooked it. I was worried about cooking a roast in the roasting pan on top of the stove because my pan is large and oval. I was afraid it would ruin the pan or heat unevenly but it was perfect. I let my three pound angus chuck roast simmer for 4 hours while I worked around the house. It smelled heavenly and was perfect when I served it. I threw baking potatoes and whole carrots in next to the roast. Very easy and tasty.

Left out the cloves..didn’t appeal to me. Slow cooked in roaster. Excellent texture, flavor, and aroma.
Mindy Gilbert
Very very good. I was in a hurry so I skipped the onion, celery, by leaves and cloves. I just put it in the crock pot with the other basic stuff and it was awesome! I added flour to the sauce after it cooked and it made wonderful gravy! I’ll make this again for sure
Renee Harper
My family loved this. I did add some thyme to the sauce but other than that it turned out really great.
James Palmer
I cooked a 3 pound roast on the stove, as directed. And it took 4 1/2 hrs.
Jack Green
Oh wow!!! I used Fat Tire beer and let this one slow cook all day, about 10 hours total, the meat fell apart it was so tender, and the flavor!! Clove was a very nice addition.
Tina Brown
I loved making this dish. It’s made with ingredients I usually have on hand. I thought my gravy was too thin when I took the roast out of the pan to cut so I added some corn starch. Then being lazy, I added carrots and potatoes for a one-dish Meal. I made it all on the stovetop. So easy.
Teresa Baxter
We really enjoyed this. Be sure to add salt and pepper when you brown the meat, though.
