Demos' Pot Roast Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sear the Meat

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.

2. 2

   Add Aromatics

   Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Return the roast to the pot. Add the chopped carrots, quartered potatoes, beef broth, red wine, dried thyme, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 3 hours until the meat is tender.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once the pot roast is tender, remove the bay leaves and serve hot with the vegetables and sauce.
