Tender Pot Roast Stew with Carrots & Potatoes




📌 Ingredients:

🔹️🔹️Main:

↪️2.5–3 lbs chuck roast (cut into large chunks or left whole)

↪️2 tbsp olive oil

↪️Salt & pepper (to taste)

↪️1 tsp garlic powder

↪️1 tsp onion powder

↪️1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

🔹️🔹️Veggies:

↪️4–5 medium potatoes (peeled and cut in chunks)

↪️2 cups baby carrots

↪️1 onion (sliced)

↪️3 cloves garlic (minced)

↪️Liquid & Seasoning:

↪️3 cups beef broth

↪️1 tbsp tomato paste

↪️1 tsp dried thyme

↪️1 tsp rosemary

↪️1 bay leaf

↪️Optional: 1 tbsp flour or cornstarch (to thicken)


👉 Instructions:

✅️Step 1: Brown the Roast

◾️Season roast with salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder.

◾️In a large Dutch oven or pot, sear roast in olive oil over medium-high heat until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.


✅️Step 2: Build the Flavor

◾️Sauté onions and garlic in the same pot until soft.

◾️Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire, thyme, and rosemary.

◾️Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer.


✅️Step 3: Slow Cook

◾️Return roast to the pot. Cover and simmer on low heat for 2.5–3 hours (or until meat is super tender).

◾️Add carrots and potatoes in the last hour of cooking so they stay tender but not mushy.


✅️Step 4: Thicken (Optional)

◾️If you want the stew thicker, mix 1 tbsp flour or cornstarch with a little cold water and stir into the stew during the last 15 mins.


✅️Step 5: Serve It Up!

◾️Remove bay leaf, shred beef into chunks, and ladle into bowls. Serve hot with cornbread, biscuits, or over rice if you're extra hungry!


💡 Pro Tip: Let the pot roast rest 10 minutes before serving so all those juices settle into the meat 😮‍💨🔥
