Dinner Pot Roast Contains fish (Worcestershire sauce) Full of fiber Makes8 servingsTotal4 hDietNot vegetarian Keep screen on Illustration made with AI (Gemini), staged from the recipe Ingredients½×1×2×USMetric0 of 152½ lb boneless beef chuck roast, all outside fat and seams trimmed off (about 900 g trimmed, about 600 g cooked and eaten)1¼ tsp salt, divided: 1 tsp on the roast, ¼ tsp in the gravy1 tsp black pepper1 tbsp olive oil2 onions, cut in thick wedges1 tsp garlic powder2 cups low-sodium chicken broth2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce1 tsp dried thyme2 bay leaves1½ lb carrots, cut in 2-inch chunks3 parsnips, peeled, cut in 2-inch chunks1½ lb small gold potatoes, halved2 tbsp cornstarch2 tbsp cold water MethodSet a rack in the lower third and heat the oven to 325 °F. Trim every bit of outside fat and the thick seams of fat off the roast; the trimmings go in the bin, not the pot. Pat it dry and rub it all over with 1 tsp of the salt and the pepper.Warm the olive oil in your heavy pot on a strong medium heat. Brown the roast 4 to 5 minutes a side, until dark. Move it to a plate.Turn the heat to medium. Cook the onions in the same pot 4 minutes, scraping up the brown bits. Stir in the garlic powder, then pour in the broth and the Worcestershire. Add the thyme and bay leaves.Put the roast back in, cover with the lid, and bring it to a simmer. Move the pot to the oven and cook 2 hours.Tuck the carrots, parsnips and potatoes around the roast and cover again. Cook 1 to 1½ hours more. It is done when a fork twists in with almost no pull and the meat reads at least 145 °F; it is most tender around 195 °F.Lift the roast and vegetables to a platter and tent with foil for 15 minutes. Pull the roast apart along its seams and cut out every seam of fat that softened in the braise; it goes in the bin, not on the plate. Discard the bay leaves. Skim all the fat off the pot liquid and throw it away; a spoon, or a cup that pours from the bottom, makes it quick.Whisk the cornstarch into the cold water. Bring the pot liquid to a simmer on the stove and whisk in the slurry and the last ¼ tsp salt. Simmer 1 to 2 minutes, until glossy.Slice or shred the roast against the grain, about 2½ oz (75 g) of lean meat a person, and heap the plate with the vegetables and gravy. Cool leftovers within 2 hours, freeze flat in portions with gravy, and reheat to 165 °F inside.
