A hearty beef pot roast slow-cooked with potatoes, carrots, and broccoli, finished with a rich homemade gravy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb chuck roast
  • 1 ½ lb baby yellow potatoes
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into thick sticks
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels, then season all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, parsley, and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3–4 minutes per side until browned.
  3. Remove the roast and set aside. Add sliced onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Stir in tomato paste, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Return the roast to the pot, cover, and cook on low heat for about 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and pulls apart easily.
  6. Add baby potatoes and carrots around the roast. Cover and cook for another 35–45 minutes, until the vegetables are fork-tender.
  7. Steam or lightly cook the broccoli separately until bright green and tender, then add it to the serving plate.
  8. Remove the roast and shred or slice it into tender pieces.
  9. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir it into the cooking liquid. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
  10. Serve the shredded beef with baby potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and plenty of warm gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the roast overnight with the dry rub.
  • If the gravy is too thick, thin it with a splash of beef broth.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
