Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef roast (such as chuck or round)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons flour

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Season the beef roast with Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the roast.
4. Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Push the onions to the side of the pot and place the seasoned beef roast in the center. Sear the roast on all sides until browned.
6. Add the carrots and potatoes around the roast in the pot.
7. Pour the beef broth over the roast and vegetables. The liquid should come about halfway up the side of the roast.
8. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
9. Roast for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
10. Once the roast is cooked, remove it from the pot and set aside to rest.
11. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour with a splash of cold water to make a slurry.
12. Place the pot with the cooking liquid and vegetables back on the stovetop over medium heat.
13. Slowly whisk in the flour slurry to thicken the cooking liquid into a gravy.
14. Simmer the gravy for a few minutes until thickened.
15. Slice the beef roast and serve it with the vegetables and gravy.
16. Enjoy Kathy's Roast and Vegetables hot and savor the comforting flavors! Serve with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
