Ingredients
  

3-4 lbs beef chuck roast

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 large carrots, cut into chunks

3 medium potatoes, diced

2 cups beef broth

1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed if possible)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon black pepper

Salt to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C).

    Sear the Roast: In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper, then add it to the pot. Sear the roast on all sides until it is nicely browned (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove the roast and set aside.

      Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

        Add Vegetables: Stir in the carrots and potatoes into the pot, mixing them well with the onions and garlic.

          Build the Broth: Pour in the beef broth, orange juice, and soy sauce. Mix the tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of salt into the liquid until well combined.

            Return the Roast: Place the seared chuck roast back into the pot, nestling it into the vegetables and broth mixture.

              Cover and Cook: Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let it roast for approximately 3 to 4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. Check the pot occasionally to ensure there’s enough liquid, adding water or broth if necessary.

                Final Touch: Once cooked, carefully remove the pot from the oven. Take the roast out and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

                  Serve: Serve slices of the pot roast surrounded by the vegetables and ladle some of the citrus-infused broth over the top.
