There is nothing quite like the smell of a slow cooked roast filling the kitchen on a Sunday afternoon. It is the kind of meal that feels like a warm hug and always leaves everyone asking for seconds.

I love this recipe because it is simple to prep and does all the hard work in the oven. For the best flavor, make sure to sear your meat well before you add the liquid.

🧺 Ingredients

3 pounds beef chuck roast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound baby carrots
1 pound baby potatoes
2 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
3
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat and brown the meat until it has a nice crust.
4
Remove the meat and add the onions and garlic to the pot, cooking until they are soft.
5
Place the meat back into the pot and add the broth, thyme, carrots, and potatoes.
6
Cover the pot with a tight lid and bake for 3 hours or until the beef is very tender and pulls apart easily.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. This dish tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld together. Serve it alongside some crusty bread to soak up all the delicious juices.
