This easy pot roast recipe is warm, hearty, and delicious! Plus, the technique could not be more simple. The vegetables break down, combining with the meat's juices to create a sauce! Serve over horseradish mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3.5 pounds beef chuck pot roast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 0.25 cups butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Heat vegetable oil into a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Season chuck roast with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook in hot oil until brown on both sides; transfer to a plate.

  4. 4

    Add carrots, celery, and onion into the pot. Cook and stir until vegetables start to release their juices, scraping any brown flavor bits off the bottom of the pot, about 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add butter, and cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle in rosemary; return roast to the pot and cover.

  7. 7

    Roast in the preheated oven until the chuck roast is tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

  8. 8

    Season vegetables with additional salt and black pepper, if desired.
