Ingredients

• 3 lbs Beef roast (preferably chuck or ribeye)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 3 whole Carrots (peeled and cut into large chunks)
• 2 whole Yellow onions (peeled and quartered)
• 6 whole Garlic cloves (peeled and smashed)
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 0.5 cup Red wine (optional)
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

Rub the beef roast evenly with the olive oil, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture generously over the entire surface of the beef roast.

Step 5

In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. This helps lock in the juices.

Step 6

Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside. Add the carrots, onions, and garlic cloves to the skillet, stirring gently to pick up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Nestle the beef roast back into the skillet or Dutch oven on top of the vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the beef broth and optional red wine around the sides of the roast. Avoid pouring liquid directly on top of the beef to preserve the seasoning.

Step 9

Cover the skillet or Dutch oven tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. If you're using a roasting pan, cover it with foil.

Step 10

Transfer the covered beef to the preheated oven and roast for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the beef registers 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium.

Step 11

Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest, covered, for 15-20 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring tenderness.

Step 12

Slice the roast into thin slices against the grain. Serve it with the roasted vegetables and pan juices spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh rosemary, if desired.
