Pot Roast Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Roast

   Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on all sides.

2. 2

   Sear the Meat

   In a large oven-safe pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the roast and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

3. 3

   Add Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the chopped carrots, quartered potatoes, and quartered onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   Return the roast to the pot. Add the beef broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.

5. 5

   Bake the Roast

   Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for 10 minutes. Carve and serve with the vegetables and gravy made from the cooking juices.
