Step 1

Remove the seared beef from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
Step 4
Add carrots and celery to the remaining oil and beef drippings in the pot, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until caramelized.
Step 5
Stir in the tomato paste and cook with the vegetables for about 2 minutes.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Searing the beef first creates a deep brown crust that seals in the juices and enhances the rich color of the gravy.
Caramelizing the carrots and celery releases their natural sugars, adding subtle sweetness to the savory sauce.
Placing the potatoes on top of the beef roast helps cook them gently without letting them break apart in the bubbling gravy.
