Description

A classic comfort food dish featuring tender beef roast cooked with hearty potatoes and carrots in a flavorful broth.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions

  1. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides, about 4 minutes per side.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and add the dried thyme and rosemary. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the carrots and potatoes around the roast.
  6. Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and vegetables are cooked through.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, remove the roast and vegetables, then simmer the liquid with a cornstarch slurry. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
