Categories     main-dish

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 3- to 5-pound chuck roast
2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil
2 whole onions, peeled and halved
6 to 8 whole carrots, unpeeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup red wine, optional
3 cups beef broth
2 or 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 or 3 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
  • Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
  • Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
  • If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
  • With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
  • Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
  • Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, rump roast, or brisket are all good options, as they are tough cuts that become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the beef before braising. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pot roast. Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic choices, but you can also add other vegetables like parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
  • Add some herbs and spices to your pot roast. Rosemary, thyme, garlic, and pepper are all good choices. You can also add a bay leaf or two.
  • Cook the pot roast on low heat for several hours, or until the beef is tender. The longer you cook it, the better it will be.
  • Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
