Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 pounds chuck roast
- 1 packet about 1 ounce Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 onion sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 carrots peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned. This helps to lock in the flavor.
- Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent.
- Add the Lipton Onion Soup Mix to the pot and stir well.
- Pour in the beef broth and water, stirring to combine and dissolve the soup mix.
- Place the seared chuck roast back into the pot, making sure it's surrounded by the liquid.
- Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the roast.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Check the roast periodically, and if the liquid is reducing too much, you can add more beef broth or water as needed.
- Once done, remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing the roast.
- Serve the pot roast slices with the vegetables and the flavorful broth. Better yet, use the leftover broth to make gravy from scratch!
Notes
- Experiment with different potato varieties for varying textures—russet potatoes for a fluffy texture, or red potatoes for a creamier result.
- If you prefer a thicker broth, you can mix 1-2 tablespoons of flour with a little water and stir it into the pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences. Mushrooms, celery, and parsnips are great additions.
- Ensure the roast is well-seasoned before searing for richer flavor.
- This recipe is also suitable for a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the roast is tender.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for a burst of freshness.
