Ingredients
  

For the Roast

For the Vegetables

  • 3 large Potatoes Use starchy varieties like Russets.
  • 4 medium Carrots Natural sweetness pairs well with savory flavors.

For Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Perfect for searing the roast.
  • 2 teaspoons Salt Essential seasoning.
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Adds a warm kick.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Infuses the roast with savory undertones.

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure a cozy cooking environment for your pot roast.
  • Generously season the chuck roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the roast on all sides for about 4–5 minutes.
  • Remove the roast and add chopped potatoes and carrots to the Dutch oven, stirring for about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the pot and drizzle in the Worcestershire sauce, mixing well.
  • Return the seared roast to the pot and pour in the beef broth.
  • Cover the Dutch oven and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Once done, allow the roast and vegetables to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  • While resting, simmer the remaining liquid for gravy, adding more flour if a thicker consistency is desired.

Notes

Choose quality meat for best results. Don't skip the searing step for maximum flavor. Adjust liquid levels if needed during cooking. Resting time is crucial for juicy results.
