Tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef and veggies in a delicious gravy, this easy one-pot recipe is sure to be a family favorite! I’ve seen many recipes for pot roast with wine, but I wanted to use the Guinness Stout I had leftover from a gathering, as I had used it in a beef stew and that had such a wonderful flavor. You can make this using a pressure cooker as well, which is great when you want a delicious dinner, but don’t want to wait eight hours.
For this recipe, I used the Rockcrok® Digital Slow Cooker Stand, which pairs with the Rockcrok® Dutch Oven:
Rockcrok® Digital Slow Cooker Stand
Slow Cook & Keep Warm
Take your Rockcrok® Dutch Oven or Everyday Pan and turn it into a slow cooker with the Rockcrok® Digital Slow Cooker Stand. The slow cooker lets you cook food on your own time, or easily transfer it from the oven or stove top directly into the stand to keep it warm. Control the temperature and timing of your food with the stand’s digital display and keep your cabinets tidy with compact cord storage for when you aren’t using the stand. Two inset handles make lifting easy, and the stand even wipes clean for simple cleanup.
COOK ANY MEAL FOR A CROWD
The Rockcrok® Dutch Oven is the perfect size for cooking for a crowd, and unlike other types of ceramic cookware, you can use Rockcroks® right away without needing to preseason. The large Rockcrok® Dutch Oven perfect for anything—appetizers, bread, casseroles, braised meats, soups, and more! You’ll never run out of possibilities with this durable, versatile piece.
Calling our Rockcrok® Collection versatile is an understatement. It’s made from durable, high-quality clay that’s heat-safe to 752°F (400°C), so you can sear, braise, simmer, slow cook, fry, boil, bake, broil, microwave, and grill in one pan. Rockcrok® pieces transfer effortlessly from freezer to stove top to oven and back again, all while creating savory roasts, crisp crusts, moist cakes, and one-pot wonders. Since they’re dishwasher-safe, you’ll find reasons to use these lightweight alternatives to cast-iron cookware every day.

Once cooking is complete, carefully remove chuck roast from the pot, and shred meat. Combine the butter and flour to make a paste, and stir into the stew if the gravy is not thick enough. You may remove the Rockcrok® Dutch Oven from the Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand to finish gravy on the stove top, if you prefer.
Remove the bay leaf and rosemary sprigs; serve over mashed potatoes.
