Best Ever Beef Pot Roast

Print Recipe

A hearty, tender, and flavorful beef pot roast slow-cooked with vegetables and seasonings, perfect for a comforting family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 carrots, cut into chunks
  • 4 potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine (optional)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned.
  3. Remove the roast and set aside. Add onions and garlic to the pot and sauté until softened.
  4. Stir in tomato paste, then deglaze with red wine (if using), scraping up any browned bits.
  5. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Return the roast to the pot and cover. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3–4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
  7. In the last hour of cooking, add carrots and potatoes. Cover and continue to cook until vegetables are tender.
  8. Remove herbs and bay leaves. Slice or shred the roast and serve with vegetables and pan juices.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the roast overnight in herbs and spices.
  • If you prefer, you can cook this in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours instead of stovetop.
  • Thicken the sauce with a cornstarch slurry if desired.
