Pork roast is a classic Sunday dinner dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This recipe uses a Dutch oven to create a tender and flavorful roast that is perfect for any special occasion. The pork is seasoned with a simple rub of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, then browned in a Dutch oven before being braised in a flavorful liquid. The braising liquid can be made with a variety of ingredients, such as chicken broth, beef broth, or even beer. Once the pork is cooked, it is removed from the Dutch oven and allowed to rest before being sliced and served. This recipe also includes instructions for making a delicious gravy from the braising liquid, as well as a variety of side dishes that would pair perfectly with the pork roast, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and green beans.

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.

DAD'S BASIC MOIST PORK ROAST
This is the best and most basic way to ensure a juicy, perfectly-cooked pork roast every time. This recipe really requires a good thermometer -- either a $10 instant-read type or, even better, the type that pierces the meat and stays in place while connected to an outside-the-oven monitor. If you can swing that, then try your favorite marinade or rub on this recipe. Use your imagination on the rubs and marinades, but ensure you bring your roast directly from the fridge to the roasting pan -- Dad's recipe works best that way.
