I never found roasting beef very easy – more often than not it comes out dry and grey whilst making the whole house smell of dripping – but a slow cooked “pot roast” somehow just works, with the added bonus that, because cheaper cuts of meat like brisket cook best this way, you don’t have to remortgage to produce an amazing “Sunday Roast” with a ton of amazing leftovers*.
It is even easier in an Instant Pot and much quicker (which is great if, like me, you can’t even think about lunch at the weekend until you’ve had at least 2 leisurely cups of coffee!) but just as tender and tasty.
