Recipe: Melt-In-Your-Mouth Pot Roast
The tenderness of the beef chuck roast combined with the robust flavors of the broth creates a meal that’s both comforting and heartwarming.
Ingredients:
- 3-4 pounds beef chuck roast
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Directions:
- Season the Meat: Generously season the chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Brown the Roast: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the roast and sear it on each side until it is well-browned. This step will lock in the flavors. Remove the roast and set it aside.
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and softened.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the roast to the pot. Tuck the carrots and potatoes around the roast. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the meat and vegetables. Evenly sprinkle the rosemary and thyme, and add more salt and pepper if desired.
- Slow Cook: Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the roast is extremely tender and falls apart easily with a fork. Alternatively, place all ingredients in a slow cooker and set it to low for 8 hours.
- Serve: Transfer the roast and vegetables to a serving platter. Spoon the broth over the meat to keep it moist and flavorful.
