Ingredients for Beef Roast

  • Beef Roast
  • Carrots
  • Potatoes
  • Celery
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Beef Roast

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place a 3-4 lb beef roast in a shallow roasting pan.
  3. Chop 1 large onion, 2 carrots, and 2 celery stalks into 1-inch pieces.
  4. Arrange the chopped vegetables around the roast in the pan.
  5. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of black pepper evenly over the roast.
  6. Pour 1 cup of beef broth into the bottom of the pan, ensuring the vegetables are partially submerged.
  7. Bake uncovered for 3 hours, or until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or 145°F (63°C) for medium. Basting occasionally with pan juices will enhance flavor and browning.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
