Ingredients:
- 1 beef roast (3-4 lbs, chuck or rump recommended)
- 4-5 small carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 large potato, peeled and diced
- 3 tbsp Creole seasoning (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp black pepper

- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp celery salt (or chopped celery chips)
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 cup water
Instructions:
Prepare to indulge in the ultimate comfort food with this Creole-spiced beef roast that melts in your mouth! Here’s how to create this hearty, flavorful dish:
- Prep the veggies: Chop the carrots and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Season the beef: Generously coat the beef roast with Creole seasoning, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt, and dried parsley. Massage the spices into the meat for maximum flavor.
- Sear the roast: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef on all sides until browned. This locks in the juices and adds a delicious crust.
- Assemble in casserole dish: Place the seared beef in a casserole dish. Add 1 cup of water to the dish to keep the meat tender during roasting.
- First bake: Cover the dish with tin foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 2.5 hours. The slow roast ensures the beef becomes fork-tender.
- Add veggies: Remove the foil, add the chopped carrots and potatoes around the beef, and sprinkle with additional Creole seasoning for extra flavor.
- Final bake: Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
Serve this juicy beef roast hot, straight from the oven, and enjoy the rich, savory flavors that will warm your soul. Perfect for family dinners or special occasions!
Pair it with crusty bread or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious gravy. Leftovers (if any!) make amazing sandwiches the next day.
