Roast, Potatoes, Carrots and Onions

Step 2: Sear the Meat

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
2. Sear the roast on all sides until it develops a deep golden-brown crust. This step locks in flavor and creates a rich base for the dish.
3. Remove the roast and set it aside temporarily.

Step 3: Build the Flavor Base

1. In the same pot, add onions and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and lightly caramelized.
2. Deglaze the pot by pouring in red wine (if using). Scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up all those flavorful browned bits.
3. Add the beef broth to create a rich cooking liquid.

Step 4: Add Vegetables and Herbs

1. Return the roast to the pot, placing it in the center.
2. Arrange the potatoes and carrots around the meat.
3. Tuck in sprigs of rosemary and thyme for aroma.

Step 5: Slow Cooking Magic

• Oven Method: Cover with a lid and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 3–4 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
• Slow Cooker Method: Place everything into a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4–5 hours.
• Stovetop Method: Simmer on low heat for about 3 hours, checking occasionally to make sure there’s enough liquid.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

1. Once done, remove the roast and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
2. Serve thick slices of roast with the tender potatoes, carrots, and onions, spooning the savory broth over the top.
3. Pair with crusty bread to soak up the juices—or enjoy as is for a hearty, satisfying meal.

Tips for Success

• Choose the right cut: A chuck roast or brisket works best since they become melt-in-your-mouth tender when slow-cooked.
• Don’t rush the process: Low and slow cooking ensures the flavors meld beautifully.
• Customize it: You can add parsnips, celery, or turnips for extra depth of flavor.
