This savory roast is a hearty, flavorful meal perfect for family gatherings or cozy dinners at home. The tender beef roast is slow-cooked to perfection alongside earthy potatoes, sweet carrots, and caramelized onions. Infused with garlic, herbs, and a rich broth, this dish is simple yet comforting, offering an explosion of flavors with every bite.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (3-4 lb) beef chuck roast
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 2 large onions, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Roast:
    • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
    • Season the chuck roast generously with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
  2. Sear the Meat:
    • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
    • Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
    • Remove the roast from the pot and set aside.
  3. Cook the Vegetables:
    • In the same pot, add a bit more oil if necessary and sauté the onions and carrots for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
    • Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
  4. Add Broth & Roast:
    • Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
    • Return the seared roast to the pot, nestling it among the vegetables.
  5. Roast & Add Potatoes:
    • Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and roast in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
    • After 2 hours, add the quartered potatoes around the roast.
    • Cover and continue roasting for another 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
  6. Rest & Serve:
    • Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
    • Slice the roast and serve with the roasted vegetables.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor, if desired.

Enjoy this hearty, delicious meal with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad!
