Equipment

  • 1 Oven Safe Pot such as dutch oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 carrots rounds
  • 2 potatoes bite size pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 brown onions sliced
  • 750 grams beef rump
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • 2 packets instant gravy
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp italian herbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 150℃.
  • Bring the pot to a high temperature with olive oil. Add a small amount of salt to the beef. Sear the beef rump for a couple minutes on each side, so that it gets some colour on the outside. You do not want to cook it fully here.
  • Remove the beef and set it aside. Use a small amount of the beef stock to deglaze, and scrap all the flavours on the bottom of the pot.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the pot the beef was in. Sauté until the onion starts to deepen in colour and soften.
  • Place the whole rump back into the pot.
  • Pour the remaining beef stock into the pot, so that everything is submerged.
  • Place a lid on the pot and put it in the oven. Leave the pot in the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • After this time, remove the pot roast from the oven. Mix in the two packets of gravy to the stock.
  • Also add the carrot and potato. Stir until they are also submerged in the gravy.
  • Mix in the seasonings, then place the pot roast back into the oven for a further 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Take the pot roast out of the oven. Use two forks to shred the now tender beef. Stir so that all the beef is coated in the gravy. Then serve!
