Notes

  • Try using whole carrots so they don't get mushy. Do not use carrot slices; they cook for too long and become mushy. 
  • Yukon gold or russet potatoes are the best for beef chuck roast as they are hearty enough to cook along with the beef without getting mushy. 
  • Make sure to sear the beef on all sides. This will ensure a juicy Sunday roast!
