About Beef, pot roast
Pot roast is the archetype of slow cooking: a tougher, inexpensive cut of beef braised low and long with liquid and vegetables until the connective tissue melts and the meat pulls apart with a fork. It is Sunday-dinner cooking, filling the house with savory aromas for hours.
The long cooking concentrates flavor and the beef delivers a generous amount of complete protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B12. At around 251 calories per 100 grams it is fairly rich, the calories tracking the fat marbled through the cut and rendered during braising.
Choosing a leaner cut, trimming visible fat and serving it with the braised vegetables and their juices makes for a hearty, balanced plate. It is comfort food that genuinely nourishes, provided the portion of meat stays sensible.
