Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 4 medium Carrots
- 3 Celery stalks
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 3 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 Bay leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels and season all sides with salt and black pepper. Lightly dust with flour.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.
Peel and roughly chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Add the onions to the Dutch oven and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Peel and cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces. Chop the celery into similar-sized pieces. Cut the potatoes in half or quarters, depending on their size.
Add the beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce to the Dutch oven, stirring to combine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot for extra flavor.
Return the roast to the Dutch oven and nestle it into the liquid. Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes around the roast.
Tie the thyme and rosemary sprigs into a bundle with kitchen twine and add it to the Dutch oven along with the bay leaves.
Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove the pot roast from the oven. Discard the rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the pot roast sliced or shredded, with the vegetables and gravy spooned over the top. Enjoy!
