Classic Pot Roast with potatoes and carrots Recipe

American · Main course · 200 min total

A comforting, fall-apart tender beef pot roast slow-cooked with hearty potatoes and carrots in a rich, savory gravy. Perfect for a Sunday dinner.

Ingredients

• 3-4 lb chuck roast
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine (or additional broth)
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 large carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks
• 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (or Yukon Gold, halved)

Instructions

1. Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
4. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in beef broth and red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
5. Return the roast to the pot. Add rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to a preheated 325°F oven.
6. Cook for 2 hours. Remove from oven, add carrots and potatoes around the roast. Cover and return to oven for 1 more hour, or until meat is fork-tender and vegetables are cooked.
7. Remove from oven. Discard herb sprigs and bay leaves. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with vegetables and gravy from the pot.

Tips

• For a thicker gravy, mix 2 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water and stir into the pot juices after removing meat and vegetables, then simmer until thickened.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• This roast can also be made in a slow cooker: sear as directed, then transfer to slow cooker with remaining ingredients (except potatoes and carrots) and cook on low for 8 hours. Add vegetables in the last 2 hours.
