Ingredients
- 3-4 pound beef pot roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 chopped onion
- 3 cloves of minced garlic
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the pot roast with salt and pepper to bring out its natural flavors.
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pot roast until it's browned on all sides, then remove it from the pot and set it aside.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until it's softened, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the chopped carrots, potatoes, and red bell pepper to the pot, cooking for 5 minutes to bring out their natural sweetness.
- Add the beef broth, red wine, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf to the pot, stirring to combine. Return the pot roast to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Baste the pot roast with the cooking liquid every 30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Cook for 2 ½ to 3 hours, or until the pot roast is tender and falls apart easily.
- Remove the pot from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing the pot roast and serving it with the vegetables and cooking liquid.
