Roast with Potatoes, Carrots, and Onions

Ingredients

• 1 (3-4 pound) beef roast (such as chuck or round)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 large onion, cut into wedges
• 1 cup beef broth (or water)
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening gravy)

Directions

Preheat the Oven:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Season the Roast:

1. Rub the beef roast with olive oil.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
3. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the roast.

Prepare the Vegetables:

1. Place the cut potatoes, carrots, and onion in the bottom of a large roasting pan or baking dish.
2. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Roast the Meat and Vegetables:

1. Place the seasoned beef roast on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan.
2. Pour the beef broth (or water) around the roast and vegetables.
3. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil.

Bake:

1. Roast in the preheated oven for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium rare, 160°F (71°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well done.
2. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of roasting to allow the roast to brown and the vegetables to caramelize.

Optional Gravy:

1. If you like gravy, remove the roast and vegetables from the pan and transfer to a serving platter.
2. Place the roasting pan on the stove over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
3. Gradually whisk in additional beef broth or water, cooking until the gravy thickens to your liking.

Serve:

1. Slice the roast and serve with the roasted potatoes, carrots, and onions. Pour the gravy over the top if desired.
