A flavorful and tender beef roast recipe, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the roast inside for even cooking.
Season the beef roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Let the seasoned roast sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and sear the beef roast on all sides until browned.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor to the roast.
Add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing until fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour in the beef broth and sprinkle in the thyme. Bring to a simmer.
Scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze and incorporate all the flavors.
Cover the pot with aluminum foil and place the lid on top. Transfer to the oven and bake for 3 hours.
Check the roast halfway through to ensure there is enough liquid; add more broth if needed.
Remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender.
Slice the roast into 1/4-inch thick slices and serve with the onions and gravy.
Use a sharp knife or an electric slicer for even slices.
