Instructions
Creating Savory French Onion Pot Roast is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Sear the Roast: In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the roast with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned. Remove the roast and set aside.
3. Sauté the Onions: In the same pot, add the sliced onions. Cook them on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they become caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Add Garlic and Herbs: Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
5. Deglaze the Pot: Pour in the white wine (or additional beef broth) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the seared roast to the pot and add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring everything to a simmer.
7. Cover and Bake: Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 2-2.5 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
8. Rest the Roast: Once done, remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
9. Serve: Slice the pot roast and serve it with the caramelized onions and broth.
