Ingredients

Serves 6 

  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 21/2 lb. boneless beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 lb. baby red potatoes (1–11/2 inches in diameter), scrubbed
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 2 envelopes (11/4 oz. each) beef gravy mix
  • 1 can (141/2 oz.) diced tomatoes with roasted garlic, drained
Directions
  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Rub the roast with the honey. Firmly press the garlic onto the roast. Cook the roast until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pour the broth over the roast. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour. Turn the roast over and add the potatoes and carrots. Cover and simmer until the roast and vegetables are tender, 45–55 minutes longer.

  3. 3

    Transfer the roast and vegetables to a large deep platter using a slotted spoon. Discard all but 21/2 cups liquid from the pot. Whisk in the gravy mix and increase heat. Stir in the tomatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour half of the sauce over the roast and vegetables to serve. Pass the remaining sauce with the roast.

To save time, minced garlic can be purchased in jars at your supermarket. Substitute 1 tsp. minced garlic for each garlic clove.
