"For the German Pot Roast, it's all about the beef. Everything added to it works to elevate and accentuate the savory, beefy flavor of the delicious chuck roast. Beer infuses a light malty flavor, beef broth and mushrooms enhance the natural beefy flavor, tomatoes add a contrasting element of brightness that makes the beef stand out all the more. German Pot Roast is extremely tender... fall apart with a poke of the fork tender... and so welcoming. Germany certainly knows how to make pot roast in the best way!..."
