Notes
Let any leftovers cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container in the fridge. The pot roast will be good for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. To make a thicker gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Don't skip searing the beef; it adds a lot of flavors.
