Beef Pot Roast Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Start by prepping all the ingredients. Peel and chop the onion, garlic, carrots, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

2. 2

   Season the Roast

   Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

3. 3

   Sear the Beef

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned beef roast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the roast and set aside.

4. 4

   Sauté Onions and Garlic

   In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add Vegetables

   Add the chopped carrots and potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.

6. 6

   Deglaze the Pot

   Pour in about 1 cup of beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits from the roast. This adds flavor to the dish.

7. 7

   Combine Ingredients

   Place the seared beef roast back into the pot. Add the remaining beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary. Stir gently to combine.

8. 8

   Cook the Roast

   Cover the pot with a lid and let the roast cook on low heat for about 3-4 hours or until the meat is fork-tender. You can also use a slow cooker on low for the same amount of time.

9. 9

   Serve

   Once done, remove the roast from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve with the vegetables and broth from the pot.
