Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 4 medium Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 Celery stalks, cut into chunks
- 4 medium Potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Sprinkle the roast with the flour, patting it gently to coat evenly.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot, arranging them around the edges.
Return the seared pot roast to the pot, nestling it in the center of the vegetables.
Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
Let the roast cook slowly on low heat for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
Once the roast is tender, carefully remove it from the pot along with the vegetables and place them on a serving platter.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and Worcestershire sauce.
Stir the sour cream mixture into the cooking liquid in the pot, creating a rich and creamy sauce.
Return the pot to medium heat and cook the sauce for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt and pepper.
Pour the sauce over the roast and vegetables, garnishing with fresh parsley before serving.
