Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Allspice
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 Scotch bonnet pepper
• 1 Large onion, chopped
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 Carrots, peeled and chopped
• 4 Potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 3 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, and paprika. Rub the seasoning into the meat and set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and Scotch bonnet pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

Step 6

Add the beef broth and soy sauce, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and release any browned bits.

Step 7

Return the roast to the pot and add the fresh thyme sprigs.

Step 8

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C). Cook for 2 hours.

Step 9

After 2 hours, add the carrots and potatoes to the pot. Stir gently to coat them in the sauce.

Step 10

Continue cooking in the oven for an additional 2 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the thyme sprigs and Scotch bonnet pepper before serving. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.

Step 12

Serve the Jamaican pot roast warm with the vegetables and sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy!
