Questions about Shoulder pot roast
What is shoulder pot roast, and is it a tender cut?
It is a beef shoulder cut suited to slow, moist cooking. It starts out firm, but becomes tender when braised gently for several hours until a fork slips in easily.
How long should you cook shoulder pot roast in the oven?
Brown it first, then cook it covered with a little stock or wine at 150 °C for about 3–4 hours, checking for tenderness rather than relying only on the clock. Keep the liquid at a gentle simmer, not a boil.
Can you cook shoulder pot roast in a slow cooker?
Yes. Brown the joint first for a deeper savoury flavour, then cook it with a little stock and vegetables on low for 8–10 hours or on high for about 4–5 hours, until it pulls apart easily.
Which vegetables and sides go well with shoulder pot roast?
Cook onions, carrots, celery and potatoes in the braising liquid, adding potatoes later if you want them to keep their shape. Serve the meat with the vegetables and spoon over the strained cooking juices or gravy.
How should you store leftover shoulder pot roast?
Cool leftovers promptly, then refrigerate them in a covered container with some cooking juices for up to 3 days. Reheat until steaming hot throughout; freeze portions with their juices for up to 3 months.
Can you use shoulder pot roast instead of chuck roast?
Yes: both are well suited to braising and shredding. Shoulder pot roast has 8.3 g fat per 100 g, compared with 13.3 g in chuck blade roast, so it is leaner than that particular chuck cut.
How much protein is in a serving of shoulder pot roast?
A typical 85 g serving provides 27 g of protein. It is also high in zinc, with 9.4 mg per 100 g.
