STEAKHOUSE POT ROAST WITH BLUE CHEESE GRAVY

With this tender chuck roast smothered in rich, blue cheese gravy, there’s no need to head to an expensive steakhouse to get a restaurant quality dinner of steak and potatoes. One of the most popular steakhouse meals is a beautiful, tender steak with a blue cheese cream sauce. Served with a baked potato on the side you can easily spend a small fortune.

Steakhouse Flavors

This Steakhouse Pot Roast brings all the Ruth’s Chris-Mortons-Peter Luger flavors home with a simple chuck roast braised in onions, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce.

The beef is seared well before braising in the oven with baby Yukon potatoes which are melt-in-your-mouth soft and fluffy with a natural buttery flavor. Since they’re left whole the baby potatoes actually have the texture of a baked potato even though it bakes in the pot with the roast. When split open they’re steamy and fluffy. 

The Blue Cheese gravy is the best part! This gravy is made using the braising liquid plus heavy cream and blue cheese. It doesn’t need flour or cornstarch, just one minute of whisking and cooking, you’ll have a beautiful thick sauce.

To serve you’ll gently shred the beef  then top with the blue cheese gravy, a few blue cheese crumbles and a couple of baby Yukon potatoes. Make this paired with our Morton’s Creamed Spinach recipe for the ultimate dinner.

Make Steakhouse Pot Roast Ahead

• Steakhouse Pot Roast is a great make ahead freezer meal but you want to freeze it before making the blue cheese gravy for best results. Dairy sauces separate when frozen so they are best made the day you serve them.
• To make Steakhouse Pot Roast ahead, prepare following the recipe card until the gravy step. Cool roast completely with pan liquids and freeze in a sealed container. Freeze for up to 3 months, but the best quality is 1 month.
• To serve, thaw overnight and reheat on the stove top in a large pot. Once meat and potatoes are hot, remove them. Prepare the blue cheese gravy with the pan liquids following the recipe instructions.

This easy dinner is started on the stove top and finished in the oven for a hands off meal you don’t have to worry about stirring. If you want to make Steakhouse Pot Roast on the stove top, place it on the back burner so it’s away from the edge since it will be cooking for a few hours. Stir every 20 minutes or so, and add more beef broth if the liquid gets too low.

Steakhouse Pot Roast is a one pan meal that is delicious served with steakhouse sides like Sautéed Green Beans and Dinner Rolls. You could also your Steakhouse Pot Roast with Sautéed Mushrooms, just like you would a New York steak! Save the extra gravy to top Mashed Potatoes for a tasty, easy next day dinner side.

VARIATIONS ON STEAKHOUSE POT ROAST

• Meat: Use other cuts of beef in this pot roast like beef shoulder, top round, or rump roast. Try the blue cheese gravy with Prime Rib for a fancy holiday dinner! Use the liquid from your roasting instead of the beef broth and add the Worcestershire sauce, and thyme at the end in a saucepan. Once hot, add heavy cream and blue cheese as usual.
• Potatoes: You can use any potatoes in this recipe instead of Yukon gold like red potatoes, russet potatoes, or sweet potatoes. If the potatoes have thicker skin (like russet potatoes or sweet potatoes), peel and chop into large chunks.
• Veggies: Make this a heartier one-pot meal with steakhouse veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, or carrots added in. Add fresh or frozen veggies in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• Seasonings: Refrigerate your chuck roast up to 8 hours in Steak Marinade for a more intense steak flavoring! You can also rub the roast in seasonings like garlic salt, rosemary, or white pepper before browning.

Slow Cooker Steakhouse Pot Roast

Instant Pot Steakhouse Pot Roast
