Ingredients
- 3 lbs chuck roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 3 potatoes, cubed
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp rosemary
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Meat: Pat the chuck roast dry and season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let it sit for 30 minutes for better flavor absorption.
2️⃣ Sear the Roast: Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
3️⃣ Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add onions and garlic. Cook until fragrant, then add carrots and potatoes. Stir for 5 minutes.
4️⃣ Braise the Roast: Return the roast to the pot. Add Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, thyme, and rosemary. Cover and cook in a 300°F oven for 3-4 hours until tender.
5️⃣ Make the Gravy: Remove the roast and vegetables. Simmer the remaining juices, thickening with a roux (butter and flour mix) for a rich, flavorful gravy.
6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy: Slice the roast, pour the gravy over it, and serve with your favorite sides.
