🍽 Pot Roast with Carrots & Mashed Potatoes Recipe 🍽
Ingredients:
For the Pot Roast:
3-4 lbs beef chuck roast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
2 cups beef broth
1 cup red wine (optional, or use more beef broth)
1 packet onion soup mix (or homemade seasoning)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons flour (for thickening, optional)
For the Mashed Potatoes:
5-6 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk (or more to your desired consistency)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pot Roast:
Sear the Roast:
In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Sear it for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
Sauté the Onions & Garlic:
Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, sauté the chopped onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Deglaze the Pot:
Add the red wine (if using) to the pot, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the Broth & Vegetables:
Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and onion soup mix. Stir to combine.
Return the roast to the pot, adding the carrots around it.
Slow Cook:
Cover the pot and place it in the oven at 325°F (163°C). Let it slow cook for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and falls apart with a fork.
2. Make the Mashed Potatoes:
Boil the Potatoes:
Place the peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
Mash the Potatoes:
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper, mashing until smooth and creamy.
Stir in sour cream for extra creaminess if desired.
3. Thicken the Gravy (Optional):
After removing the roast from the pot, you can thicken the gravy by whisking in flour into the remaining liquid. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until it thickens to your liking.
4. Serve the Pot Roast Plate:
Plate the mashed potatoes and top with the tender pot roast and carrots, smothering it with the gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
