Ingredients
For the Beef Roast
- 1.5 kg (3 lbs) beef chuck roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- Salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Garlic Butter Gravy & Vegetables
- 60g (¼ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup (250ml) beef broth or bone broth
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water (optional, for thick gravy)
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
1. Sear the Beef
Pat the chuck roast completely dry using paper towels.
Season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the roast for 4–5 minutes per side until deeply golden brown. Remove and set aside.
2. Build the Flavor Base
In the same pot, pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape up all the flavorful browned bits from the bottom.
Stir in the melted butter and minced garlic.
3. Slow Cook Until Tender
Return the beef roast to the pot and arrange the potatoes and carrots around it.
Cover tightly with a lid.
Bake at 150°C (300°F) for 3–3½ hours until the beef becomes fall-apart tender.
4. Make the Gravy
Transfer the roast and vegetables to a serving platter.
Bring the remaining liquid to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2–3 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened.
5. Finish & Serve
Pour the rich garlic butter gravy generously over the roast and vegetables.
Top with fresh parsley and a few extra pats of butter for that glossy, restaurant-style finish.
Serving Tip
Serve hot with crusty bread or fluffy rice to soak up every drop of the garlic butter gravy. For the perfect premium presentation, spoon extra sauce over the sliced beef right before serving.
