How to Make Prairie Land Pot Roast

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Season a 3-4 lb beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat 1/4 cup Catalina dressing over medium-high heat. Brown the pot roast on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Add 1 large onion, chopped, to the pot and stir to brown for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the remaining Catalina dressing (about 3/4 cup), 2 lbs potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 lb carrots (peeled and chopped), and enough water or beef broth to come 3/4 of the way up the meat.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer on the stovetop.
  7. Transfer the Dutch oven to the preheated oven.
  8. Cover and bake for 2 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  9. Remove the pot roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  10. Remove the meat from the pan and slice thinly against the grain.
  11. To make a thicker gravy, whisk together 2-3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup of cold water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the pan juices. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
  12. Serve the sliced pot roast over the potatoes and carrots, drizzled with the pan gravy.
  13. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
