Perfect Pot Roast

This pot roast is everything you need and more. It’s tender, flavorful, and the kind of meal that just wraps you in a warm hug. Let’s dive into what you’ll need to create this masterpiece.

Ingredients:

• 1 (4 to 5 pounds) chuck roast
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 1 onion, quartered
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 bay leaves

Instructions:

1. First things first, take that chuck roast and season it generously with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy; you want that flavor to shine!
2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat up your olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until it’s golden brown. This should take about 4-5 minutes per side. When it’s nice and browned, take it out and set it aside.
3. In the same pot, toss in the carrots, potatoes, and onion. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes, just until they start to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 more minute.
4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the pot to get all those tasty bits. Then add back the roast, along with the thyme and bay leaves.
5. Bring it all to a boil and then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender. Check occasionally and stir if needed.
6. Once it’s done, remove the roast and let it rest for a bit. While it’s resting, you can strain the sauce if you’d like, then serve it on the side.
7. Slice that beautiful roast, plate it up with the veggies, and drizzle the sauce over everything. Trust me, you’re gonna want seconds!

Now you’ve got yourself a delicious pot roast that’ll make everyone feel right at home. Whether you’re enjoying it with your folks or sharing it with friends, this recipe is sure to be a hit. Dig in and enjoy every hearty bite!
