🥘Ingredients

For the Pot Roast

3 lb beef chuck roast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil

For the Vegetables

1 large onion, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
3 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced

For the Seasoning

2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup beef broth
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.
3Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
4Add the beef and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes per side.
5Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
6In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, potatoes, and celery.
7Cook the vegetables over medium heat until they begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
8Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
9Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf.
10Bring the mixture to a simmer.
11Return the beef to the pot, spoon the vegetable mixture over the top.
12Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and place it in the preheated oven.
13Roast for 2.
5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
14Check the beef every 30 minutes and add more beef broth if the liquid level gets too low.
15Remove the pot from the oven and let the beef rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
16This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
17Slice the beef against the grain and serve it with the cooked vegetables and some of the cooking liquid spooned over the top.
