1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 ½ pounds beef chuck pot roast
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced onion
¼ cup butter
1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Steps:

Number Of Ingredients 5

3-5 lb chuck roast
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope lipton onion mushroom dry soup mix
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful pot roast, use a chuck roast or a rump roast. These cuts of meat have a lot of marbling, which will help to keep the roast moist and tender.
  • Sear the roast on all sides before braising it. This will help to brown the meat and develop its flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pot roast. Common vegetables include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. You can also add other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
  • Season the pot roast generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or thyme.
  • Braise the pot roast for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender. The longer you braise the roast, the more tender it will be.
  • Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. You can also serve it with a side of gravy.
