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.

Provided by Madeline

Number Of Ingredients 9

3lb boneless chuck roast
3 large carrots
1lb baby potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300F and allow chuck roast to come to room temperature. Peel and chop carrots into sticks. Clean and cut each baby potato in half.
  • Season chuck roast on all sides with the salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is warm, sear the chuck roast on all sides until there is a golden brown crust - about 4 mins each side.
  • Remove the chuck roast from the pan, drain any excess oil from the pan and reduce the heat to medium low. Mix beef broth, wine, and tomato paste in the pan scraping any brown bits off the bottom as you mix. Let this mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Arrange half of the carrots and potatoes in a layer in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the roast on top and arrange the rest of the carrots and potatoes around it. Season with rosemary and thyme and pour the liquid from the pan over top.
  • Cover the roasting pan with a lid and place in the oven to cook. Cook for an hour and a half then remove from the oven and spoon the liquid from the bottom of the pan over the roast for a minute. Cover the pan and return it to the oven.
  • Cook for another hour and half until the roast has cooked for 3 hours total. Remove from the pan and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice and serve with the carrots and potatoes.
  • Skim the excess fat off the juice from the pan and serve with the sliced roast.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful pot roast, choose a chuck roast with good marbling.
  • Browning the roast in a pan before braising it in the oven helps to develop its flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot roast with vegetables. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pot roast, such as carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery.
  • Add some herbs and spices to the pot roast for extra flavor. Common choices include rosemary, thyme, garlic, and pepper.
  • Cook the pot roast on low heat for a long period of time. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Conclusion:

Cooking a 3-pound chuck roast in the oven is a great way to create a delicious and hearty meal. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your pot roast turns out perfectly tender and flavorful. So next time you're looking for an easy and satisfying weeknight meal, give this recipe a try!
