You will need the following ingredients for this Simple Beef Pot Roast Recipe:



1 tablespoon garlic infused early harvest extra virgin olive oil

3 ½ pound beef rump roast

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 cup diced carrots

1 cup diced onion

¼ cup butter

1 teaspoon dried rosemary



Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275 degrees F.


Step 2

Pour the oil into a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Season the roast with salt and pepper, then brown the meat on both sides. Transfer to a plate when all sides are nice and golden brown.


Step 3

Stir carrots, celery, and onion into the pot and cook until they have released their juices. This will take about 3 minutes. Add butter, then cook until onions are fully translucent. This will take about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in rosemary, stir altogether then return the roast to the pot. Cover with lid.


Step 4

Place pot in oven and roast until the roast is tender. This will take about 2 ½ - 3 hours. Season vegetables with additional spices if desired.
