3-5 pound Angus Chuck Roast
2-3 cups of bone broth
1-2 onions sliced
Olive Oil
Worcestershire sauce
Italian Seasoning
Thyme
Fresh rosemary sprigs
4 large garlic cloves
Salt & Pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Completely thaw the roast and bring to room temperature on the counter and pre-heat the oven to 500 degrees
-
Mix together some Italian seasoning, 2 chopped garlic cloves, thyme, salt, pepper and olive oil in a small bowl.
-
Brush the roast with the seasoning mixture (or rub) making sure to touch all sides.
-
On the stovetop, put some olive oil in a skillet and sear the roast making sure to brown all sides. The goal is to create a bit of a crust with the seasoning or rub.
-
Put 2-3 cups of bone broth in a roasting pan with 2 cloves of garlic-chunked
-
Put the roast in the pan arrange rosemary sprigs on top and scatter onions around the outside.
-
Bake at 500 degrees for 15 minutes then turn down the oven to 350 degrees for between 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on roast size and how well done you like it. THE KEY TO A PERFECT ROAST IS USING A MEAT THERMOMETER! Check the roast at the 30 minute mark and then every 15 minutes after that. Remove when the internal temperature reaches- 105 - rare, 115 - medium rare, 120 - medium well, 125 - well done.
-
Place the roast on a serving platter and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before carving and serving. Retain bone broth for gravy if desired.
