Carrots, onions, and potatoes make this classic beef pot roast a hearty one-pot meal. After searing the beef and quickly sautéing the onions, the meat is slowly simmered on the stovetop. Toss in the veggies an hour before it's done so that the meat is perfectly tender and the vegetables aren't mushy. A simple homemade gravy is the perfect finishing touch. While this pot roast is a one-dish meal, you can serve it with steamed green beans or broccoli for a family feast. Fluffy rolls or crusty bread wouldn't be a bad accompaniment for a Sunday supper.

Tips
Recipe Variations
What Kind of Meat Is Needed for Pot Roast?Tough cuts of meat like chuck roast (sometimes labeled shoulder steak), rump roast, or bottom round are best for pot roast. When cooked low and slow with a little liquid, they become tender and juicy. What Is the Difference Between a Roast and a Pot Roast?The word "roast" is sometimes used as a blanket term to describe big pieces of cooked meat. Applied to beef, it often refers to roast beef, which is dry-roasted and sliced, sometimes for sandwiches. A pot roast is a piece of tough beef, often chuck roast, slow-cooked with a little liquid until very tender. Can You Overcook a Pot Roast?The lower and slower you cook a tough piece of beef, the more tender it becomes. However, if you cook a pot roast for too long, it will eventually become both mushy and dry. Check your roast often and stop cooking once it reaches your desired tenderness. Rate This Recipe I don't like this at all. It's not the worst. Sure, this will do. I'm a fan—would recommend. Amazing! I love it! Thanks for your rating! How long do potatoes and carrots cook in oven?Directions. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).. Toss potatoes and carrots in a large bowl with olive oil. Add honey, lemon zest, salt, oregano, and pepper; toss to coat. Spread onto a large rimmed baking sheet.. Roast in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 45 minutes.. Do you put roast on top of vegetables?Place the meat atop the root vegetables in the center of the Crock-Pot. Shake it back and forth lightly to nestle it into the top layer of root vegetables. Sprinkle the meat with seasonings.
Do you cover a roast in the oven?When cooking a roast in the oven, keep it uncovered until roasted to the desired doneness. After removing from the oven, tent with foil and let stand 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, preventing them from draining out during carving—and preventing dry, disappointing meat.
What temperature do you slow cook a beef roast in the oven?Place the roast into an oven that has been preheated to 450℉ (232℃) for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn the oven down to 325℉ (163℃) and cook the beef uncovered until the internal temperature has reached 135℉ (57℃). For a 3lb roast, this takes around an hour.
