A simple and comforting pot roast recipe featuring slow-roasted chuck roast with caramelized vegetables, delivering tender, juicy beef and rich flavors in just five easy steps.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lbs chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4–5 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 4–5 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 cups (16 fl oz) low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in your Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add the roast and sear it for about 4-5 minutes per side until deeply browned. Use tongs to turn the meat gently, avoiding piercing it.
  4. Remove the roast to a plate. Add the sliced onion, carrots, potatoes, and smashed garlic cloves to the pot. Stir for 2-3 minutes to soften the onions and start caramelizing the veggies.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, dried thyme, and rosemary. Cook for another minute until fragrant. Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.
  6. Return the roast to the pot, nestling it into the vegetables. Cover with a lid or tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Roast in the oven for about 3 to 3 ½ hours, until the meat is fork-tender and falling apart. Check at the 3-hour mark by inserting a fork; if it meets little resistance, it’s ready. If not, give it another 20-30 minutes.
  8. Remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding to keep all those juices locked in.

Notes

[‘Searing the meat before roasting is essential for flavor and moisture retention.’, ‘Cook low and slow at 325°F for tender, shreddable meat.’, ‘Use sturdy vegetables like carrots and potatoes to avoid mushiness.’, ‘Rest the meat after cooking to keep it juicy.’, ‘Add broth or water during cooking if liquid level gets low.’, ‘For a slow cooker method, brown meat on stove then cook on low for 6-8 hours.’]
