🛒 Ingredients
For the Pot Roast
3 lbs beef chuck roast (Halal-certified)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 cups beef broth (Halal)
1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional, for depth)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
Optional Flavor Boosters
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (Halal)
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
👩🍳 Instructions
Season the Beef Pat the chuck roast dry and generously season all sides with salt and black pepper.
Sear for Flavor Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned. Remove and set aside.
Build the Base In the same pot, add chopped onion and cook until soft and lightly caramelized. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze & Layer Stir in tomato paste (if using), then pour in beef broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up all the flavorful bits.
Add Vegetables & Beef Return the roast to the pot. Add carrots, potatoes, herbs, bay leaf, and Worcestershire sauce if using.
Slow Cook Cover and simmer on low heat for 3–4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft.
Rest & Serve Remove bay leaf. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
