Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 2 yellow onions, quartered
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 cups beef broth, Whole30 compliant
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season the roast with the spice mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the pot and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the carrots, potatoes, and onions. Sauté for 5 minutes until they start to brown slightly.
Place the beef roast back into the pot on top of the vegetables. Add the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Pour the beef broth over the roast and vegetables.
Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once the roast is cooked, remove it from the oven. Carefully transfer the beef and vegetables to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
Place the pot with the roast juices over medium heat on the stovetop. In a small bowl, mix together the arrowroot powder and cold water to create a slurry.
Gradually add the slurry to the pot, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the roast sliced against the grain with the vegetables and pour the gravy over the top. Enjoy your Whole30 Classic Sunday Roast!
