Easy Beef Pot Roast
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 1/2 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
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components for the dish. Preheat your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius).
2
Melt a significant amount of vegetable oil into a large oven-safe container over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chuck roast with salt and black pepper to enhance its flavor.
3
Fry the chuck roast in hot oil until it develops a brown color on both sides; transfer it to a plate for further preparation.
4
Add carrots, celery, and onion into the pot. Stir constantly until these vegetables release their natural juices, scraping any brown residue from the bottom of the pot, approximately 3 minutes.
5
Melt butter into the pot and cook until the onions become translucent, around 5 minutes.
6
Sprinkle dried rosemary leaves over the chuck roast; return it to the pot and cover it with a lid.
7
Roast the chuck roast in the preheated oven until it becomes tender, roughly 2.5 to 3 hours.
8
Season the vegetables with additional salt and black pepper if desired, for a more refined taste.
