Ingredients
- 1.5kgs beef chuck roast
- 30g of all-purpose flour
- 30g unsalted butter
- 200g mushrooms, sliced
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 500ml low sodium beef broth
- 250ml red wine (optional)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 sprigs of rosemary sprigs
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 160°C. Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Dredge it in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Step 2: In an oven-safe pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the beef roast and sear it on all sides until browned. Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside.
- Step 3: In the same pot, add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Step 4: Pour in the beef broth and red wine (if using). Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Return the beef roast to the pot, cover it with the lid, and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Step 5: Cook the pot roast for about 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Step 6: Once the roast is cooked, remove it from the pot and cover it with foil to keep it warm. Remove and discard the rosemary sprigs and bay leaves.
- Step 7: Place the pot with the remaining liquid and vegetables back on the stovetop over medium heat. Simmer for a few minutes to reduce the liquid and thicken the sauce. Tip: You can use a blender to puree some of the vegetables and create a thicker gravy.
- Step 8: Slice or shred the beef pot roast and serve it with the mushroom gravy. Optionally, you can serve it with some creamy mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or crusty bread.
