Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 1 pound)
- 1/3 cup steak sauce
- 2 1/2 tablespoons dry onion soup mix
- 6 potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 6 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix together the steak sauce, dry onion soup mix, and water until well combined. Set aside.
-
Line Baking Pan: Line a shallow baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, making sure to overlap the edges to create a secure seal.
-
Prepare the Roast and Vegetables: Place the boneless beef chuck roast in the center of the foil-lined pan. Surround the roast with the quartered potatoes and chunks of carrots, arranging them evenly around the roast.
-
Pour Sauce Mixture: Evenly pour the prepared sauce mixture over the roast and vegetables, ensuring everything is generously coated.
-
Seal and Bake: Carefully seal the foil loosely over the top of the roast, ensuring it’s sealed but not too tight to allow for steam to escape. Secure the side edges tightly to prevent any leakage during cooking.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the prepared roast in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and fully cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked to perfection, carefully remove the savory pot roast from the oven. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve hot, accompanied by the tender potatoes and carrots.
