Description

Dad's pot roast — a chuck or rump roast stuffed with garlic slivers, browned all over in olive oil, then braised in a Dutch oven with onion soup mix, wine-deglazed drippings, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms at 300°F for 2–2½ hours until fork-tender. Basted several times during cooking so the onion soup mix creates a rich, savory gravy.

Ingredients
  • 1 large Chuck or rump roast
  • 4-5 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 1 pkg. Onion soup mix
  • 5-6 Carrots, peeled
  • 1 lg. Yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 lb. Button mushrooms
  • Potatoes, diced
  • Olive oil (¼ cup for browning)
  • White wine for deglazing
  • 1 Tbsp. Rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Cup Water
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 300°F.
  2. 2
    Peel garlic into slivers. Slice holes into the roast and insert garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour.
  3. 3
    Heat olive oil in a deep Dutch oven with a lid. Brown all sides of the roast well. Remove.
  4. 4
    Add sliced onion and 3 Tbsp. flour to the pan drippings. Sauté for 5–6 minutes.
  5. 5
    Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping the bottom and sides.
  6. 6
    Return roast to the pot. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the roast.
  7. 7
    Add carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms around the roast. Add 1 cup water. Sprinkle with rosemary. Cover tightly.
  8. 8
    Bake at 300°F for 2–2½ hours, basting roast 2–3 times and adding water as needed to maintain a gravy consistency.

Note

Baste the roast 2–3 times during cooking so the onion soup mix flows down into the gravy — this is what builds the rich, savory flavor of the finished dish.
