Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make hoisin pot roast in the oven instead of a slow cooker?

Yes! Sear the beef first, then cook it covered in a Dutch oven at 300°F for 3–4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.

What cut of beef is best for pot roast?

Chuck roast is the best choice because it becomes incredibly tender as it slowly cooks. Brisket or bottom round roast can also work, but may be slightly less juicy.

Do I need to sear the meat before adding it to the slow cooker?

Searing is optional but highly recommended. It adds extra flavor and helps lock in juices, giving your pot roast a richer, deeper taste.

    How would this convert to a pressure cooker or instant pot?

      That works – you can always just use a smaller cut of beef!
