I adore my cast iron skillets –they work great with my induction stovetop. But this was my first time cooking with a cast iron double dutch oven and I am in love! The lid of the dutch oven acted as a skillet to cook the potatoes and carrots before baking all of them in the oven for a few hours. So easy! And perfect for our family dinner.
I partnered with Cost Plus World Market to create this delicious family-friendly beef chuck roast Dutch oven recipe. Simple, traditional red potatoes with baby carrots were picked for my picky-eater kiddos. I seasoned the beef chuck roast with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic sea salt.
This recipe also uses a local wine– Biltmore Cabernet Sauvignon (select stores) to flavor the beef broth. Crushed beer-battered onion rings top this comfort food dish at the end, giving it a nice crisp. The 5-quart double-dutch oven was perfect for this one-pot recipe, and love that the lid doubles as a skillet.
We are super-casual at our house, so after baking the pot roast, I set the double-dutch oven right on our dining table using a wood bark charger as a trivet.
Step 1:
Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a double Dutch oven. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Sear beef roast on medium/high heat for about 10 minutes until browned, flipping once and browning ends.
Step 2:
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the Dutch oven lid (the lid acts as a skillet), heat to medium-high heat, and add carrots and quartered potatoes. Season carrots and potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Stir frequently until potatoes and carrots brown, about 10 minutes.
Step 3:
Add 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon to beef roast, then 3 cups beef broth.
Step 4:
Carefully spoon browned carrots and potatoes onto the sides of the beef roast.
Step 5:
Rinse and dry lid, then cover roast and place in oven. Roast for 3 hours at 275 degrees F.
Step 6:
Cool for 10 minutes, then slice the beef roast (meat will be tender).
Step 7:
For extra flavor, top the beef roast with 1/2 cup crushed onion ring chips and enjoy!!
