Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 lbs Beef Chuck Roast
  • 4 Carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1.5 lbs Potatoes peeled and quartered
  • 2 cups Beef Broth

Equipment

  • Oven-safe Pot
  • Dutch Oven

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper, then sear it in an oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned on all sides, creating a flavorful crust.
  2. Add the chopped carrots and quartered potatoes to the pot, arranging them around the seared beef.
  3. Pour the beef broth over the ingredients in the pot, ensuring everything is partially submerged to keep the roast moist.
  4. Cover the pot and roast in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme during the last hour of cooking. You can also thicken the pan juices with a cornstarch slurry after removing the roast and vegetables.
