A Pot Roast Like My Mom'S
- Beef and braising
- 2.5-3 pounds beef chuck roast (kept whole)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 12-16 ounces lager style beer (I open a 16oz can - yes this is a window into my refrigerator world - and use most of it, adding more when I add the vegetables if the pot appears dry. The amount you'll need depends on the diameter of your Dutch oven).
- 4-5 large carrots, peeled, chopped into 3/4 - 1" coins (wider coins as you get to the smaller tapered end of the carrot for more even cooking)
- 3 small onions (about tennis ball-sized), peeled, roots left intact, cut into 6 wedges each
- 1 pound waxy potatoes (yellow or red-skinned), halved or quartered based on size
- Seasoning blend
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flake
- 1 bay leaf
- Preheat the oven to 350F with a rack in the lower-central portion. Coat the bottom of a large Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lit with olive oil to cover and heat to medium high on the stove top. Pat dry and season the chuck roast on both sides evenly with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Brown the meat for 5 minutes on the first side and 4 on the second side in the Dutch oven.
- Once the meat is browned, add the beer and the seasoning blend, stirring to combine and making sure some of the top of the meat is coated with beer. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the oven.
- Cook in the oven for 1.5 hours, then remove, turn the meat, and add the carrots, potatoes, and onions, stirring to coat in the braising liquid. Cook for an additional 1.5 hours. The meat should fall apart when pierced with a fork. I plate the meat and vegetables and spoon the sauce over and enjoy this as a full one pot meal, though you can serve over egg noodles (or even more potatoes of the mashed variety) if you prefer. Enjoy!
