🥩🍠 Classic Halal Pot Roast with Potatoes & Carrots

Fall-Apart Tender, Comforting, and Made with Love

“Would you eat Pot Roast with Potatoes and Carrots?”
Yes. A thousand times, yes.
Because this isn’t just dinner — it’s soul food for every table.

🌿 A Brief History of Pot Roast

Pot roast is a dish born from necessity and love. Originating in Europe and evolving in American kitchens, it’s a method of braising tougher cuts of meat slowly with vegetables, herbs, and liquid until they’re fork-tender and infused with flavor.

It’s a one-pot miracle, passed through generations — known by many names (boeuf à la mode, chuck roast, Sunday roast), but always defined by warmth, family, and patience.

Today, we honor this tradition — with a Halal-friendly twist.

🍽️ Why This Pot Roast is Special

Made with Halal-certified chuck roast
Simmered low and slow with onions, garlic, potatoes, and carrots
Uses simple ingredients but creates complex, comforting flavor
Feeds a crowd — or just two people with leftovers for days
Pairs perfectly with rice, bread, or just a spoon

🛒 Ingredients

For the Roast:

3 lbs Halal beef chuck roast, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into thick chunks
3–4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 cups beef broth (Halal-certified)
1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional but adds depth)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (Halal, or use soy sauce substitute)
2 teaspoons salt (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1 bay leaf
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Sear the Meat

Pat roast dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat.
Sear the roast on all sides (about 4–5 minutes per side) until golden brown.
Remove and set aside.

🔥 Searing locks in flavor — it’s the “first kiss” of this dish.

Step 2: Build the Flavor Base

In the same pot, add chopped onions. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Stir in garlic and tomato paste. Cook for 1 more minute.
Deglaze the pot with a splash of beef broth, scraping up the browned bits.
Add Worcestershire, remaining broth, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.

Step 3: Add Veggies & Simmer

Return the roast to the pot.
Nestle carrots and potatoes around the meat.
Cover with lid and simmer on low heat for 3.5 to 4 hours, or:
- In the oven at 300°F (150°C)
- In a slow cooker on low for 8 hours

🕰️ Cook low and slow until the beef falls apart with a fork and the veggies are buttery soft.

Step 4: Serve & Savor

Remove roast, slice or shred.
Discard bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning in the broth.
Serve roast with spoonfuls of broth and vegetables.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

🍷 Suggested Pairings

Soft garlic naan or crusty bread

A side of cucumber yogurt salad for a cooling contrast
