Pot Roast Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Sear the Meat

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

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   Remove the roast and set it aside. In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

3. 3

   Add Broth and Herbs

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

4. 4

   Add Vegetables

   Add chopped potatoes and carrots to the pot. Cover and reduce heat to low.

5. 5

   Cook

   Let the pot roast cook for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove the bay leaf and slice the roast. Serve the meat with the potatoes and carrots on the side.
