Indulge in the savory and comforting flavors of Marinated Ranch Style Pot Roast, a classic dish that combines tender beef, aromatic vegetables, and a tangy ranch dressing marinade. This all-in-one pot meal is not only easy to prepare but also a delightful symphony of flavors. The beef chuck roast, marinated in a blend of buttermilk, ranch dressing mix, garlic, and herbs, absorbs the marinade's essence, resulting in a juicy and flavorful centerpiece.

Accompanying the tender beef are an array of vegetables, each contributing their unique texture and flavor to the dish. Carrots, celery, and onions form the aromatic base, while mushrooms add a meaty umami note. Potatoes, with their starchy goodness, soak up the flavorful broth, creating a hearty and satisfying side dish. Green beans, with their crisp-tender texture, add a refreshing contrast to the richness of the beef and vegetables.

The secret to this dish lies in the marinade, which infuses the beef with a medley of flavors. Buttermilk tenderizes the meat, while ranch dressing mix, with its blend of herbs and spices, imparts a tangy and savory flavor. Garlic and onion add depth and complexity to the marinade, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.

Whether you're a seasoned home cook or a beginner looking for a fuss-free yet impressive dish, Marinated Ranch Style Pot Roast is sure to become a favorite. It's a perfect meal for busy weeknights, special occasions, or potlucks, offering a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

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.
