Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Roast

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the rib roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.

2. Sear the Meat

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the rib roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the roast to a large roasting pan.

3. Add Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the carrots, onions, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, then add them to the roasting pan around the rib roast.

4. Create the Gravy

Add the beef broth, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves to the roasting pan. Cover with aluminum foil.

5. Slow Roast

Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Cook for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.

6. Thicken the Gravy

Remove the roast from the pan and let it rest. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Bring the remaining liquid in the pan to a simmer, then whisk in the slurry to thicken the gravy.

7. Serve

Slice the pot roast and serve with the cooked vegetables and thickened gravy on top. Enjoy with your choice of sides and bread.
