Introduction
This comforting and savory beef pot roast features tender chunks of beef chuck cooked in a rich, flavorful gravy with carrots and celery. It is roasted to melt-in-your-mouth perfection and served over creamy mashed potatoes.
Step 1
Season the beef chuck pieces thoroughly with half of the pot roast seasoning packet, coating all sides evenly.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Heat a large Dutch oven over high heat and cover the bottom with a thin layer of cooking oil.
Step 3
Add the beef chunks to the hot Dutch oven in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear for about 1 minute on each side until nicely browned, then remove and set aside on a plate.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium. Add a little more oil if needed, then add the finely chopped onions. Sauté while scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Step 5
Add the carrots and celery to the pot and sauté for a couple of minutes.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
You can keep the beef chuck whole instead of cutting it into chunks, but cutting it speeds up the searing and serving process.
If you don't want to use a store-bought seasoning packet, you can season the beef simply with salt and black pepper.
Be sure to skim the excess grease from the top of the gravy after roasting to make it smoother and less heavy.
