How to Make Yummy Pot Roast

  1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Pierce the roast heavily on both sides with a fork. Sprinkle evenly with meat tenderizer.
  3. Let the roast sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Place the roast in a large, oven-safe roasting pan with a lid.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup water, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 cup ketchup. Pour evenly over the roast.
  6. Arrange 2 lbs quartered potatoes, 2 quartered large onions, 1 lb chopped carrots, and 2 bay leaves around the roast. Add 2 beef bouillon cubes.
  7. Sprinkle the entire roasting pan with 1 tsp black pepper and 1 tsp garlic powder.
  8. Cover the roasting pan tightly and cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  9. Remove the roast from the oven and discard the bay leaves.
  10. For food safety, use a meat thermometer to ensure the roast reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  11. Let the roast rest for at least 5 minutes before carving and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
