Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel and slice the potatoes, carrots, and onion.
- Rub both sides of the beef roast with meat tenderizer and let stand until 1 hour before cooking.
- Marinate the roast with Woodies barbecue sauce and let stand for 30 minutes.
- Light char coals and brown the roast slightly over the flames.
- Place the browned roast in a Dutch oven on top of the sliced vegetables, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Brush garlic salt on the roast before covering.
- 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.
