Ingredients

• 2 lbs boneless chuck beef roast

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 2 Tbsp olive oil

• 1 large onion, sliced

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• ¼ cup soy sauce

• ¼ cup beef broth (or more if needed)

• 3 cups potatoes, cut into chunks

• 3 cups broccoli florets

• 2 cups carrots, sliced

• (Optional: thyme, oregano, or sage for seasoning)

• (Optional: splash of red wine, tomato sauce, or apple cider vinegar for extra flavor)

Instructions

1. Season & Sear the Beef:
   Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Season all sides generously with salt and black pepper (and any extra herbs you like).
   Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
   Sear the beef for 3–4 minutes per side, turning until browned all over (about 7–8 minutes total). Transfer the beef to a plate.

2. Sauté Aromatics:
   In the same pot, add the sliced onion and sauté for 2 minutes until starting to soften.
   Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more, just until fragrant.

3. Deglaze & Build Flavor:
   Pour in the soy sauce and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. (Add a splash of red wine, tomato sauce, or apple cider vinegar now if using, for extra depth.)

4. Roast in the Oven:
   Return the beef to the pot. Cover tightly with aluminum foil (or a lid).
   Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1½ hours.

5. Add Vegetables:
   After 1½ hours, carefully remove the pot from the oven. Uncover and nestle the potatoes, carrots, and broccoli around the beef. Sprinkle with a bit more salt if desired.
   Re-cover with foil and return to the oven for 30 more minutes, until veggies are tender and the beef is fork-tender.

6. Serve:
   Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding the beef. Serve with the vegetables and spoon the savory pan juices over everything.

Tips

• For even more flavor, add a sprig of thyme, oregano, or sage with the vegetables.

• Broccoli cooks quickly—if you like it with more bite, add it during the last 10–15 minutes of roasting.

• Leftovers keep well—reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

Tips & Tricks for Oven-Baked Chuck Roast

• Take the chuck roast out of the refrigerator two hours before you want to cook it. If you start cooking refrigerated chuck roast, it will surely end up becoming dry.
• Don’t forget to season the surface of the chuck roast with salt and pepper. When the salt melts, juices are formed and absorbed by the meat, thus adding a rich flavor.
• Once the chuck roast is done, allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving it to your family. It will make the chuck roast moister and tender.
• You can also select veggies according to your choice. Mushrooms, celery, and bell peppers go equally well with the oven-baked roast.
• The cooking time of oven-baked Chuck roast depends on the cut of beef. It takes 3 to 3.5 hours to bake 3 pounds of chuck roast.

FAQs

How to know when the chuck roast is properly baked?

Two ways can be used to determine whether or not your roast is adequately baked. The first is using a meat thermometer. If the internal temperature of the meat on your thermometer reads 200 degrees Fahrenheit, the roast is done. If you don’t have a meat thermometer, you can use a fork to test the tenderness of your chuck roast. A well-shredded chuck roast signals that it’s time to relax and enjoy dinner.

Can I cook a medium-rare chuck roast?

Well, it all depends on the kind of cut you are opting for. There are different types of beef cuts like bone-in-rib, beef tenderloin, or chuck roast. If you want to enjoy medium-rare, then opting for bone-in-rib or beef tenderloin is the best option. As you will want some fats to remain intact, locking moisture and making your roast juicy. Herewith chuck roast, the story is different. It requires cooking for a long time until the meat falls apart with the fork. You know one secret, the more you cook it, the more tender and juicy it will become.

How to fix the dry chuck roast?

If you have got your roast dried out, then you can fix it. Unfortunately, losing its sliced shape will help you tenderize it or make it worth eating. First of all, you need to cut the dried chuck roast into small cubes. Then cook these cubes with broth in a Dutch oven at 275 degrees Fahrenheit until it shreds easily.

At what temperature shall I roast meat?

The oven temperature setting depends on the tenderness of the cut you are planning to cook. Chuck roast is best baked at 350 °F. Roasting at this temperature goes well with the larger section of the meat.

What if I need to bake 4 to 5 pounds of chuck roast?

If you want to make oven-baked chuck roast in higher quantities, no worries. You can increase the baking time to 4 to 5 hours.

Can I recycle the chuck roast leftover?

Yes, you can use leftovers to make some interesting cuisines. I’ll suggest you some. You can finely shred the meat and use it as food stuffing. You can also deep fry the meat to convert it into jerky.

Blackstone Griddle eggs in a basket is a quick and easy breakfast recipe you can prepare for large groups. This egg is boiled inside the bread until it is just right. The egg is served with a piece of toasted bread you have left over.

Blackstone Griddle eggs in a basket

It was what I called it growing up. But there are many other names for this delicious breakfast. Eggs in the hole, Eggs with a hat, Eggs in a frame, Toad on the Road, Toad in the Pond, Bird’s Nest, Eggs in a Basket, Bullseyes, Egg surprise, Eggs in the corral, Cowboy toast, stray eggs, Goofy Toast, Chicken in a basket, Popeye eggs…

Your family will love them no matter what they are called.

How to make eggs in a basket?

This is a simple breakfast but I will give you some tips to make it great.

Butter both sides of the bread. Do this before you take out Wednesdays. Do not be timid.

You can cut the middle of the bread using a serrated knife to make multiple pieces.

If you don’t have good fins toast one side of the bread and then turn the other side to cook the eggs. Place a lid or dome on top of the mixture and let it cook until the whites have set.

Spices are essential! Eggs are best friends with salt and pepper!

We can’t be friends if you don’t make cut-outs or roast them in the yolk.

What bread is best for egg in a basket?

The best bread is one that you love and is large enough to hold a whole egg. This will leave bread, not just crust. Texas Toast is great for this.

Can I make it with scrambled eggs?

You definitely can make scrambled eggs using blackstone griddle! There are a few children in our family who haven’t had fried eggs for years. These are equally good with scrambled eggs and fried eggs. Feel free to experiment with what works for you and your family.

Which type of egg is best for the eggs in the Basket?

We used to have chickens once upon a time. Fresh eggs are something I loved about chickens. We had them for around 5-6 years. It replaced chickens completely – almost always.

The hens were killed by wildlife after we moved, but the eggs from the farm are still my favorite. If you have chickens in your garden, get extra eggs. They are well worth it.

Today, I am trying to find “good” eggs at a grocery store. However, none of the eggs were fresh from the bird.

Purchase the best eggs that you can afford and, if you’re brave, consider having chickens in your backyard.

The size of the bread you choose will also affect what kind of eggs you get. Small eggs = small bread

What do you do with the Blackstone Egg in the Hole?
