Dutch Oven Pot Roast
A delicious and tender pot roast cooked in a Dutch oven, perfect for a simple and comforting meal.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef roast such as chuck roast
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons avocado oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 medium onions peeled and quartered
- 3 large carrots peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 pounds potatoes peeled and quartered
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Mix salt, pepper, and garlic powder together. Rub this seasoning mix all over the beef roast. Heat avocado oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoned roast and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the roast and set aside. In the same Dutch oven, add onions, carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly browned.
- Place the roast back in the Dutch oven on top of the vegetables. Add the potatoes around the roast.
- In a bowl, mix together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables.
- Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the roast is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let the roast rest for a few minutes. Discard the bay leaves.
- Slice the roast and serve with the vegetables and cooking juices.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, deglaze the Dutch oven with a splash of broth, or red wine before adding the broth mixture. This will lift the caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan and add depth to your pot roast.
If you want to prepare this roast in a slow cooker: Sear the beef and sauté the vegetables as directed, then transfer everything to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or until the beef is tender.
