Easy Pot Roast with Vegetables
Feeding a crowd? This super simple one-pot beef pot roast with vegetables comes together quickly and cooks in the oven while you enjoy your afternoon.
Ingredients
1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) boneless chuck roast
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 cups beef broth (I always keep Better Than Bullion in my fridge. #gamechanger)
1/2 cup red wine (any dry red)
2 tablespoons tomato paste (or ketchup)
2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes (about 6), cut into large bitesize pieces
3–4 large carrots, cut into 3-inch pieces
3–4 celery ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1–2 sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
Prepare the vegetables: chop the onion, potatoes, carrots and celery.
Use a large pot that’s safe for the stove and oven. Start on the stove: heat canola oil over medium-high heat. While the pan is warming, sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Sear the roast on each side until browned, abut 5 minutes. Turn off burner.
Add vegetables to the pan. Pour stock and wine over everything. Add herbs. Place lid on top. Put in the oven on top of a baking sheet. (Trust me, you’ll want this for any drips!)
Cook at 275 degrees F for 2 1/2-3 hours, depending on the size of your roast and the shape of your pan. (If you have a larger roast, add cook time.)
When the meat is tender and falling apart, it’s ready. Remove roast from the pan, placing on a cutting board with a rim. Cover with foil.
Place the pan back on a burner. Scoop 1/2 cup of the liquid into a small bowl or glass measuring cup with spout. Use a fork or small whisk to stir in 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. When there are no more lumps, pour the cornstarch mixture into the pan. Stir and bring to a boil until all the juices thicken into a nice gravy.
Slice the roast and return to the pan.
Sprinkle with parsley, if using, and enjoy!
