Holiday Bustle Beef Roast with Root Veggies
A Slow-Roasted Celebration of Flavor & Calm in the Chaos
When the season is spinning wild, this roast slows things down. Tender beef, cozy root vegetables, and your special seasoning blends melt together into a dish that tastes like love, rest, and something your Southern auntie would be proud of.
Ingredients:
3–4 lb beef chuck roast or rump roast
1 Tbsp Forbidden Flavors seasoning
1 tsp Pepper Mix seasoning
2 Tbsp olive oil or beef drippings
4–5 carrots, peeled and chunked
3 gold or red potatoes, quartered
1 parsnip or turnip (optional), peeled and chunked
1 onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 ½ cups beef broth
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Pat the roast dry and rub it with olive oil. Mix Forbidden Flavors and Pepper Mix together, then coat the roast generously on all sides.
In a Dutch oven or heavy oven-safe pot, sear the roast on all sides over medium-high heat until browned (about 3–4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
Add onions, garlic, and a bit more oil to the pot. Sauté 2–3 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook 1 minute more.
Pour in broth and Worcestershire. Stir and scrape up the good bits from the bottom.
Add the beef roast back into the pot. Surround it with carrots, potatoes, and parsnips.
Cover tightly with a lid or foil and place in oven. Roast for 3 to 3.5 hours, until the meat falls apart with a fork and the veggies are tender.
Let rest 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
Optional Gravy:
Remove meat and veggies, then simmer the leftover juices on the stove with a slurry of 1 Tbsp cornstarch + 2 Tbsp water for a rich, savory gravy.
Chef's Holiday Tip:
Add a handful of dried cranberries or figs for sweetness
Toss in a cinnamon stick during roasting for a warm holiday depth
Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs to make it look like Christmas dinner magic
The Holiday Bustle Roast is the dish that brings everyone to the table, slows the world down, and reminds them that flavor is love.
