Ingredients

  • 3 lb beef roast
  • Woodies barbecue sauce
  • meat tenderizer
  • 1 large onion
  • salt
  • 3 to 4 medium potatoes
  • 2 to 3 carrots
  • garlic salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the potatoes, carrots, and onion.
  2. Rub both sides of the beef roast with meat tenderizer and let stand until 1 hour before cooking.
  3. Marinate the roast with Woodies barbecue sauce and let stand for 30 minutes.
  4. Light char coals and brown the roast slightly over the flames.
  5. Place the browned roast in a Dutch oven on top of the sliced vegetables, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Brush garlic salt on the roast before covering.
  7. Bake in a 350°F oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours until cooked through.

Tips & Substitutions

For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the vegetables. If you don't have Woodies barbecue sauce, any tangy barbecue sauce will work as a substitute. To ensure the beef is tender, be sure to let it rest after marinating. A meat thermometer can help you achieve the perfect doneness without overcooking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the roast beef sliced alongside the roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Pair it with a fresh green salad or some crusty bread to soak up the juices. This dish pairs beautifully with American recipes like Macaroni Beef Skillet Dinner for a comforting family meal.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover roast beef can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, slice the beef and warm it in a skillet over low heat with a splash of broth or barbecue sauce to maintain moisture. Alternatively, wrap it in foil and heat in the oven at 300°F until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use if I don't have a Dutch oven?

If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a heavy oven-safe pot or a roasting pan covered tightly with aluminum foil. Just make sure it can withstand the baking temperature and retains moisture during cooking.

How do I know when the beef is done?

To check for doneness, use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F, and for medium, 145°F. Remember that the beef will continue to cook slightly after removing it from the oven.

Can I add other vegetables?

Absolutely! Feel free to add other root vegetables like parsnips or turnips. You can also include bell peppers or zucchini for a different flavor and texture. Just adjust the cooking time if you're adding quicker-cooking veggies.
