Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Prepare the beef by patting it dry with paper towels. This will help to achieve a good sear.
In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, and dried thyme.
Rub the olive oil over the entire beef roast, then season it generously with the spice mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.
In a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat a little more olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the beef roast and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the beef broth into the skillet and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
Return the beef to the skillet and add the carrots, potatoes, and onions around it.
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for about 3 hours or until the beef is tender and a fork easily pierces through the meat.
Check the beef halfway through cooking; if the liquid level is too low, add a bit more beef broth or water.
Once done, remove from the oven and let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced beef roast with the cooked vegetables and enjoy!
