Prep Time
This recipe requires a bit of preparation, so plan ahead. You'll need to season the roast with the herbs and spices, as well as prepare the vegetables. This process should take about 30 minutes.
Cook Time
Once the preparation is done, the pot roast is ready to go in the oven. The cooking time will depend on the size of the roast, but a 3-4 pound roast should take about 2-3 hours on medium heat.
Ingredients
- 3-4 pound chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups beef broth
- 4 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the roast and set aside.
In a large dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the roast and brown on all sides. Add the beef broth, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily falls apart when pierced with a fork. Once done, remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Recipe Tips
To make the pot roast even tastier, consider adding a few tablespoons of tomato paste to the beef broth. This will give the roast a deeper flavor. You can also add some potatoes and mushrooms to the pot for an even heartier dish. If you like your pot roast to be more on the saucy side, consider adding some more beef broth to the pot.
For a truly unique flavor, try adding a few tablespoons of red wine to the broth. This will give the pot roast a richer flavor that your guests will love. You can also add some fresh herbs to the pot, such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano. This will give the pot roast an even more flavorful and aromatic taste.
