Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 3 potatoes, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat the butter over medium‑high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned.
  3. Remove the beef and set aside. In the same pot, sauté the onions, carrots, and celery until they start to soften.

Notes
