Equipment
Ingredients
- 3-5 pound beef roast I like a rump roast but chuck will also work well
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2 cups of beef broth
Instructions
- Season roast well with salt and pepper and sear in a hot pan until all sides are golden brown.
- Place roast in a roasting pan with broth and cover with foil. Or you can use and dutch oven with a lid.
- Bake at 275 degrees until fully cooked. For a 3 pound roast it takes about 3 hours, a 4 pound roast about 4 hours. If you are using a cast iron pot it may cook a little faster since the pan holds the heat better. It also depends on how cooked you like your roast. I like mine medium well to well.
- Use what broth is left in the pan after cooking to make gravy.
