This Indian Butter Pot Roast creates a perfect fusion of tender beef, warm spices, and creamy, buttery sauce that transforms the classic American pot roast into an aromatic Indian-inspired masterpiece. The beef chuck roast is seared to perfection, then slow-cooked with fragrant spices like curry powder, cumin, and coriander, finished with heavy cream and fresh cilantro for a rich, comforting meal that brings together the best of both culinary worlds.

kcalIngredients
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.
