Indian Butter Pot Roast

Healthy Fact of the Day

Indian Butter Pot Roast is a flavorful and comforting dish, but it can be made healthier with a few simple adjustments. Using lean cuts of meat can reduce the overall fat content, while incorporating more vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and onions can boost the fiber and nutrient profile. Opting for low-sodium broth and limiting the amount of butter or ghee can also help lower the sodium and saturated fat. To add extra nutrition, consider serving the roast over a bed of whole grains like brown rice or quinoa. Remember, this dish is best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, with appropriate portion sizes and mindful consumption.

    Ingredients

    • 3 pound beef chuck roast

    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

    • 1 cup onions, chopped

    • 4 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced

    • 2 tablespoons Indian curry powder

    • 1 teaspoon cumin

    • 1 teaspoon coriander

    • 1 teaspoon salt

    • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

    • 1 cup beef broth

    • 0.5 cup tomato paste

    • 1 cup heavy cream

    • 0.25 cup unsalted butter

    • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

    Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Heat vegetable oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
    • Season the beef roast with salt and black pepper. Sear it in the hot oil until browned on all sides.
    • Remove the roast and set it aside. In the same pot, add onions, garlic, and ginger, cooking until onions are translucent.
    • Stir in curry powder, cumin, and coriander. Cook for an additional minute until the spices are fragrant.
    • Pour in the beef broth and tomato paste, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and release any bits.
    • Return the beef roast to the pot. Cover and transfer to the preheated oven, cooking for 3 to 3.5 hours.
    • Once the beef is tender, remove the pot from the oven and stir in heavy cream and butter.
    • Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
