Let’s talk about the meat for our pot roast!

For our pot roast, we are using chuck roast. I have tried making pot roast with other cuts of beef, but always come back to chuck roast as my go-to for pot roast. Chuck roast has a lot of connective tissue which cooks down to create a perfectly moist and tender pot roast. If you’d prefer, you can use a round roast or even a brisket for your pot roast. We season our roast with garlic powder, salt, celery seed, Italian seasoning, and pepper. I like to cut my roast into medium sized pieces and then cook in avocado oil to sear on all sides. If you’d prefer, you can leave your chuck roast whole and sear evenly on all sides. You want to cook your meat over medium high to get a really nice sear! If necessary, work in batches when searing your meat.

How do you make dad’s low carb pot roast delicious while also keeping it low carb?

There are a few ingredient substitutions we make to keep our pot roast low carb and keto, while also ensuring it is amazingly satisfying and delicious! First, our chuck roast contains zero carbs, and we season it perfectly to add very little in the way of carbs. We only add a small amount of onions. This keeps our carb count down while giving our pot roast amazing flavor. Next, instead of high carb vegetables, we use turnips and rutabaga for our pot roast. These root vegetables add incredible flavor to our pot roast and help to keep it low carb. The broth for our pot roast is beef broth. This is an awesome flavorful choice which doesn’t add any carbs to our dish. I love tamari and it only takes a little to give dishes extra rich flavor.
