The pot roast was so tender, you could cut it with a fork. The carrots were perfectly done, still some firmness, and tasted like carrot, if you know what I mean. The rosemary and balsamic vinegar adding the final taste touch “umami” that the pot roast needed.

Sautéed Cremini Mushrooms (6 ounces) would be an outstanding garnish for this pot roast recipe.
Trim off the ends of the mushrooms and cut in thick slices. Heat a frying pan over medium high heat and add olive oil (1 tbsp). Cook the mushrooms for a few minutes, until they begin to soften.
Add butter (1 tbsp) minced shallot (2 tsp) and minced garlic (1tsp) to the pan. Stir this together, then add a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring often, for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture is fragrant.
Add white wine or white vermouth (¼ cup) to the pan and cook until the wine has reduced by half. Finish the mushrooms with a bit of chopped parsley (1 tsp). Serve the mushrooms over the sliced American Pot Roast with some pan sauce.
