Ingredients

  • 2.5 lb. boneless chuck roast
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 onions quartered
  • 2 large carrots peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 3-4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 cups beef broth divided
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 lb baby potatoes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300F. Season beef with salt and pepper and dredge into the flour to coat both sides.
  • Heat the oil in a large dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef for about 4-5 minutes per side. Set aside on a plate.
  • Add the onions, carrots and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the beef broth and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze it. Once the sauce is bubbling, stir in the rosemary, bay leaves, and potatoes.
  • Return the meat back to the pan and submerse it into the sauce. Reduce the heat to a low and cover the pan. Transfer to the oven and bake for around 3 hours, or until the beef is very tender.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the pot roast back into the oven and cook until it is piping hot. Or gently microwave one serving at a time.
