Bread and Butter Roast Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 beef chuck roast (about 3-4 pounds)
• 1 stick of unsalted butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: carrots, potatoes, or other vegetables of choice

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Season the roast: Generously season the beef chuck roast with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary on all sides.
3. Sear the roast: In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, melt half of the butter over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until it’s golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove the roast and set it aside.
4. Sauté garlic and onions: In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sliced onions. Cook until fragrant and slightly caramelized (about 3 minutes).
5. Deglaze and add broth: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
6. Butter and roast: Place the roast back in the pot, spooning the garlic and onion mixture over it. Add the rest of the butter on top of the roast. If using vegetables, add them around the roast at this stage.
7. Cook low and slow: Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the oven. Roast for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. Baste the roast occasionally with its juices.
8. Serve: Slice the roast and serve with the buttery pan juices, along with your favorite side dishes.
