Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat the Oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Generously season the roast with salt and pepper. Sear it in a hot skillet on all sides until golden brown.
  3. Chop the carrots and potatoes into bite-sized chunks, slice the onions, and smash the garlic cloves.
  4. In a Dutch oven, place the seared roast in the center. Surround it with chopped vegetables, sprinkle thyme, and pour in beef broth to cover half the roast.
  5. Seal the pot with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake for about 3 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
  6. Carefully transfer the pot roast to a platter or plates, drizzle with broth, and serve.
