Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Season roast on both sides with 1 tablespoon salt, 2 teaspoons pepper, and garlic powder.

02

Step

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. When oil begins to shimmer, place roast in pot and let cook, undisturbed, until browned, about 4 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side until browned. Brown on all sides, remove roast from pot, and set aside.

03

Step

Add onion, celery, and carrots to drippings in the pan. Season with remaining salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until onion begins to soften. Add butter to pot and allow it to melt. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients and stir, using a spoon to scrape browned bits from bottom of pot.

04

Step

Return roast to pan, along with any accumulated juices. Bring to a simmer, cover, and remove from heat.

05

Step

Bake pot roast in the preheated oven and cook until roast is tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Allow to rest 10 minutes before shredding and serving with vegetables and gravy.

For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine to the pot during the simmering stage.
Adjust the amount of beef bouillon paste to your preference, depending on the desired intensity of the beef flavor.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid will work as well.
